    I got accepted into an Ivy League school after I got out of the military. I was definitely a diversity hire, but I made peace with it. I went to an orientation group meeting and I knew I was in the wrong place when I was cursed for being white. I wasn’t as well versed on the societal issues back then. It just seemed like the biggest pissing content to see who was the most unique or oppressed. If only they could see what went on in the Middle East back then. What happened to my buddies.
    However, I’m glad I went with my gut. I decided that I did not belong there. I went to a smaller college in my hometown.
    I thought that I was going to have the privilege and honor of studying with the greatest minds in the world, but it felt like I was trying to be cudgeled into thinking that since I was white, I was wrong. I can’t get behind that.

It seems kind of phony to make such a big deal out of military service. We all hear about the situations of the large numbers of vets who are denied veterans benefits and have to struggle thru red tape for years to get what they are entitled to. This experience must let them know that they are NOT appreciated or even worthy of just compensation.

    Amazing conversation. ~15y ago I started telling all three of my kids that I would pay for their undergrad educations at any public institution they could get into, no strings, and then I would pay for a graduate degree but only from one institution - Harvard. I'm in the financial services industry, and I've seen over and over what a Harvard degree means, and the doors it opens.
    About 2 years ago my sentiment began to change, and now I've done a full 180. A Harvard degree has lost all of its luster and power. Now when I see "graduated from Harvard", I have to look and see "when". Because if it was after about 2018... it's a vacuous piece of paper. What a loss, for all of us.

      Respectfully, you are part of the problem. Your kids and the childhood friends and classmates they grew up with might be talented. No guarantee they can get into Harvard graduate school even if academically and intellectually qualified. Have you ever considered fighting back against the Ivy League monopoly? To some extent, the Ivy League monopoly is a monopoly on the entry level in certain careers and with certain employers.
      It is difficult to argue the vast generalities which seem to govern the lifetime arcs of huge swaths of people. When you reduce it to the simplicity of the entry level and maybe advancement to the next level, now you can have a coherent debate.

Christopher Hitchens if he were still alive would have easily mopped the floor with both Jordon Peterson, and Hanson. Although, since there is little on You Tube between Hitchens, and Hanson, you could conclude that they were in agreement with each other on various issues rather than contrarian, for example WW2.

    When in boarding school in Kenya '52 to '57, where in form 4 and form 6 (high school in the USA), we had the exams sent to the school in sealed packages from Cambridge University, that were opened only to be given to the students at the start of each exam. There was given a time for each subject, and when the bell went, the student had to put his paper into the envelope and sealed, whether he had completed it or not. All these were sent back to Cambridge and checked by examiners who had no clue to who the student was, other than in his name. Certainly a democratic way of verifying correctly.

The reason I do so, is the political left in America has been using the word "Democracy" to support all sorts of backwards, damaging policy, and its important to define words properly, and correct people using them rhetorically. For example, the current political class in the US tells me that they are
      "Supporting democracy" in Ukraine, by funding a government they engineered with a violent coup, which took over the country and has since banned opposition language, news, media, and political parties.

      It is so sad to see how the bright minds of the West wander in the darkness, not understanding the main thing. We called you useful idiots.
      Are you completely dumb or what?!
      Lenin said - they themselves will sell us a rope on which we will hang them! You are playing with leftists in words and terms, and they are playing on your life and the life of your children! You are arguing with the left about words, about terms. And the Lefts are opportunists (read Lenin!!!). words, slogans - it's just a tool. Tomorrow they will easily change them. They care about the goal!
      If today the military is not suppressed by them, they will be against the military. When they tame x, they will glorify them. Is it hard to understand?!
      Believe me, I know their strategy. You must be pleased to console your mind by exposing the hypocrisy of the left, but if you fail to organize resistance, you will think about it further in the concentration camps.
      And stop saying that this is a bunch of leftist professors and freaks who have intimidated corporations, governments, all business and all states! Everything is quite the opposite! If you are not idiots, you should understand. Explore it! Find the essence. Develop a resistance strategy!
      Although my prediction is that you will lose because you sit on the sidelines and chat about what is happening?! And write it down in your notebook. Instead of acting, or at least thinking about how to resist.
      I thought the West was immune to Marxism, but it turns out not. Save us, God!

    Former professor of biochemistry here. Left when I had to be more of a lawyer than a teacher or even researcher. My opinion is that our current university system cannot be redeemed and should be destroyed. The degrees conferred (even in my field) no longer certify that a graduating student has the knowledge or skills that the degree says they do. It isn't even close, anymore. Students could get degrees based upon their family's social connection, and could be excused for almost anything if they were well enough connected. Better to learn the skills on the job itself.

College and trade schools tell their students that they will make big money yet the things such as character are never talked about. College isn't for everyone, I try to hire young HS graduates to go into the simple field of sign type installations, after several years of training, its possible to earn up to $100K or more. They either quit after a year, not willing to go through the apprentice period or because a factory gives them $.25 mor per hour to which they won"t ever advance at.

      Still teaching economics but getting close to the day I walk away. I was at a conference in 2020. One I had attended for two decades. ALL of my colleagues were counting the semesters to "walk away" day. I think the top 10% of the students will be fine. What I see is the bottom 10% has expanded to about 20% or even 25% and the middle students have declined on average. They seem to be happy with mediocre. Maybe that is due to the no child left behind standard in public education? Anyway, it is too complex to fix now. After 30 years in the field, I see no hope for the system. Education has become a commodity where food grade a b and c are mingled in the market place of labor. Currently, I would wager at least a 1/3 of college students would not have been admitted 50 years ago.

    My jaw was dropping as I listened to Victor Davis Hanson describe what is going on in the American universities and other institutions, including the military. We have very similar problems here in the UK. I think the seeds were sown back in the 1960s, as Dr Peterson was saying, and we have certainly seen a dumbing down of education in the last few decades. So today's youngsters are being taught by people who are themselves poorly educated and lacking in critical thinking. The result is then a dangerous drop in standards across the board. All institutions have been politicised, even healthcare. I wish I could understand the psyche of these radical left wingers with their Marxist divide-and-rule agenda. Why do they hate western civilisation so much ? What do they want to replace it with ?
    Are they all mentally ill ? Is it a sort of mass psychosis ? That's what it feels like these days. Thank heavens for voices like those of Dr Peterson and Victor Davis Hanson. Voices of sanity amidst the collective insanity.

      I believe they’ve been propagandize (effectively brainwashed) into the ideology, as they are militant about it, can’t calmly or rationally debate or explain it and most are unwilling to hear alternative viewpoints or accept that others see things differently. They tend to lash out, name call and drop friendships with those who disagree. They seem like cultists.
      A relatively small group of very powerful elites (WEF, CFR and other similar overlapping organizations) are behind it, using these propagandists to control everyone as they continue implementation of their one world government agenda. They’ve been open about it but the media (under their control) simply never brought it to the public’s attention.

      I definitely think calling Marxism in it various forms a cult is pretty apt.
      It’s gotten stranger over the years because when Russia went Marxist, it was a bit of an experiment vs all these other terrible forms of government in Russia. But now a century later we have so many data points that no matter how much lip service you give to helping the less well off, that Marxist policies make everyone worse off.
      I suspect that there are some legit bad actors using Marxism as a tool just to direct chaotic forces. Blackrock would be public enemy # 1 to marxists except it’s been able to form some symbiosis.

She was getting a teaching degree in memory of her brother, a teacher who had been killed in the Viet Nam war. She told me that her classes in the Ed School were idiotic and everyone got an A or a B. I told my mother who also had an advanced degree and was the daughter of a college president. Mom told me that the Ed School was an intellectual embarrassment even in her day (she was class if 1933).

    Harvard, Stanford and more importantly Hillsdale professors is wonderful. UA-cam university is important, thank you.

Politicians on both sides of the political spectrum avoid discussing K-12 education if they value election. The current education system has already been taken by the marxists. And it seems, so have the government institutions. They are so large they monopolize the vote. It’s the best move they ever made. Government employee unions and state educational control. It’s a winning strategy. We have one hell of an uphill battle to save this great experiment.

      Are you completely dumb or what?!
      Lenin said - they themselves will sell us a rope on which we will hang them! You are playing with leftists in words and terms, and they are playing on your life and the life of your children! You are arguing with the left about words, about terms. And the Lefts are opportunists (read Lenin!!!). words, slogans - it's just a tool. Tomorrow they will easily change them. They care about the goal!
      If today the military is not suppressed by them, they will be against the military. When they tame x, they will glorify them. Is it hard to understand?!
      Believe me, I know their strategy. You must be pleased to console your mind by exposing the hypocrisy of the left, but if you fail to organize resistance, you will think about it further in the concentration camps.
      And stop saying that this is a bunch of leftist professors and freaks who have intimidated corporations, governments, all business and all states! Everything is quite the opposite! If you are not idiots, you should understand. Explore it! Find the essence. Develop a resistance strategy!

    We moved up to WA, he became an underpaid adjunct at a private university... and they kept him for 4-5 years before booting him... they booted every adjunct on staff over the years who had a PhD because they didn't want to have to pay them more... never mind they paid 1/4th less than the average salary for the area.

What made me a better teacher was engaging my students, demonstrating that I cared, insisting they do the damn work and holding them accountable when they didn’t. Those that did - learned. Those that didn’t work didn’t learn. But to have a good evaluation I had to use and demonstrate the “new” lingo. That was the primary factor that made me quit early. Imagine being told you have to change everything you know that works and teach a multiple choice test only on a system that barely functions and the test had to be given at the same time as your colleagues classes and it has to be the same test LESS THAN 24HOURS BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES.

      @Eric Huckaby I imagine you're one of the super intellectuals that listens to this (if you listened *at all* and didn't just see the names in the title and think to yourself *EEEEK the tribe has these two guys listed as villains!😱😱" and then immediately scroll to the comment section to see what all the "white supremacists" had to say about it) and thought "Yes! Lower all of the standards in education! Make room for 'diversity' by any means possible. Sacrifice the quality of education, military, administration of everything. The most important thing is that it all falls down because once everything crumbles down, it will finally be down to *my* level. I wasn't smart enough or good enough to succeed therefore I don't want anyone or anything to be a success. In fact, if I had a pot to piss in I would bankrupt myself if it meant triggering the guy that has an American flap hung up or has attended a NASCAR race in the past because this type of man touched my private parts without permission when I was 6 and then did it again when I was 20."
      Eric Huckaby got diddled. The government won't send him a check for playing videogames and trolling the internet. Now society has to pay.

    I love listening to these professors. They are so cool and their feathers rarely become ruffled even when they speak about the armageddon that our universities are performing on our culture. Jordan says when people leave these IVY LEAGUE institutions they are less sharp than when they entered. Thank you JBP for explaining so much to us laymen in simple terms after your years of careful investigation. Thank you for giving young people an alternative to the pocket picking woke promoting higher education institutions. May God bless you and keep you.

    I've been listening to Victor Hanson for at least 5 years. His talk on Putin and the US at that time had an average amount of views to present, millions of views! I keep reviewing it because its rich in content from the past to relevant now! His take allowed me to understand how it all happened and seems most probable. In short he can speak in such a way gives a non scholar like me a 10K foot view of the bigger picture. I'm subbed to the Hoover Institute as well..Thank you for having him on! God speed!🕊⚘

      Ensure you check his racist narrative with actual facts and figures....percentage wise i want you to prove to me that there has been such a leap in the admission in Black American students to these Ivy League establishments, show me video footage of lecture theatres at these Ivy Leage Colleges where there is more than a smattering of black faces....we should be witnessing a clear change in the numbers of black faces that we see walking around these campuses....prove it...show it...otherwise this guy is just another racist teacher that has such strong racial biases that black students have suffered under his hatred for generations....

    I Never took the SAT because I was not going to the schools that required them the ACT is more common a requirement in the Midwest in 1976. On the PSAT/NMSQT I received a 84th percentile on the English portion , and on the mathematics /quantitative portion I did a perfect score. Columbia University did reach out to me, but the assistance was in toe form of a50% tuition relief, and that was completely out of my means so I went to North Dakota State University and did physics graduate work later. the old boy network was sill quite active at the Ivy leagues,and people from my area often dropped out of the Ivy leagues not for academic reasons, but social pressure at those universities.

    As a retired psychologist who also served as a second-class, adjunct professor at 2 institutios across my 40-years, I recognized the veracity of the observations and opinions of Drs. Peterson and Hansen on the devolution of higher-education in America. I share their unspoken sadness and alarm! I am grateful for the rigorous doctoral education I received at Purdue University. I wonder if standards and rigor still exist in some institutions in America?

      If you have further observations or critical questions, please feel free to share them.
      I've walked a similar road... though a lower road. It helps to see parallels, in order to understand how manipulative the system has become. Perhaps awareness is a useful point to arrive at. At least that.

    VDH has been one of my favourite US historians and speakers for many years. So Jordon and Victor together .... it doesn't get any better ! My family immigrated to the US from Europe in the 1920's so I have some very deep roots and bonds to our southern neighbour. (I'm Canadian) and I always greatly appreciate VDH's wisdom and take on historical, political and our current landscape. I could listen to these two brilliant people for hours.
