Have We All Gone Mad? The Snowflake Epidemic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2018
- University campuses throughout the West are in the grip of a troubling social phenomenon, now in danger of spreading beyond the ivy walls. Once bastions of intellectual rigour and freedom of thought, universities have become closed-minded and self-censoring, pandering to what appear from the outside to be ridiculously heightened sensitivities and undeserved entitlement.
Safe spaces, trigger warnings and counselling on demand have become commonplace. Teaching staff who speak out are being intimidated, silenced and vilified. Students who choose to think against the mainstream are harassed and ostracised. Has normal teenage angst been institutionally mollycoddled and even pathologised?
Join Dr Tiffany Jenkins author, Keeping their Marbles, Claire Lehmann Founder & Editor of Quillette, Professor Steven Schwartz AM Senior Fellow, The Centre for Independent Studies and Lindsay Shepherd Graduate, Wilfrid Laurier University, for a robust debate.

"I'm offended" = "I'm intolerant, self-centered, and seek power over others through my outrage."
or this >> Why to NOT Tolerate Intolerance ... “We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law [so, not a differing opinion but speech that threatens / incites violence], and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, kidnap, or revive slavery as criminal.” Karl Popper

@@Brianbeesandbikes Thanks for that Brian. I am a great admirer of Popper, who taught me at Brandeis in the sixties(before Brandeis became intolerant).
@@Brianbeesandbikes That article shines a light on the fascism of the left (thanks). They believe it's acceptable to silence speech "THEY" deem intolerant while actively claiming we should accept their gay pride parades and intersectional anti-white nonsense. I do agree we shouldn't tolerate certain actions but if anyone believes we shouldn't tolerate speech they need to get the F**K out of the USA. That's the most anti-American and anti-Constitutional belief ever. Speech wouldn't need protections of the constitution if everyone agreed with or tolerated it.
PS. Setting fires and assaulting people is not "free speech" it's a crime. You have every right under the 1A to protest and petition your grievances to your government you do not have the right to infringe on the rights of others or violate any laws in the process of your protest. Once a lefty or anyone damages property or harms a person or blocks traffic or yells in someone's ear or steals their microphone or steals their signs or interrupts a person speech disturbing the peace they have forfeited their right to protest.
@@Brianbeesandbikes
I am intolerant of the Koran and Hadith because they are incitement of the slave trade. However, I do not wish to criminalize the Koran and Hadith or those who preach them. Instead, I want the damned things printed in extra large letters and distributed like Gideon bibles.
Muhammad, after all, was an actual real life desert gangster who go his start hijacking camel caravans then moved up. His religion should openly explain itself.
@@Uhtredrag1080 Is a paradox ... not oxymoron. For example in usa's culture, when dominant elements (white str8 christian men) design/participate in maintaining norms that limit the speech or lives of those not in that "club". That kind of intolerance should not be tolerated. Whats' being discussed here is blowback from relatively rare examples of leftist overreach, like laws that were put in place to correct decades (and 1000s really) of years of women getting nothing in a divorce that now get more from their exs that seems fair in some cases. There's also a growing resentment by women, trans, nonwhhites nonchristians etc who still are subjected to threats of many kinds white str8 men do not experience, and there's a growing resentment / militance, esp under the duress of neoliberalism / exposure of injustice due to modern socmed 24/7 visibility.

As a person of 73, I feel that society is going to implode one day and that the idea of a person having individual thoughts will be banned and called criminal. So sad for my Grandchildren and great grandchildren.

“Is higher education at risk?”
Umm...yes. And in reality, higher education has already collapsed.
not in the no nonsense faculties
@@alainbellemare2168 your kidding yourself if you think they havent been infiltrated also.
@@alainbellemare2168 Wish you were right. Now engineering students are taught the new physics where office fire can cause the pancake collapse of steel buildings. After that nonsense, why would this dicipline be spared from heavy grabbling?
Higher education has been systematically infiltrated by various forces for well over 100 years. (For example: The Rockefeller Foundation taking over all of the medical schooling in America) It was once again infiltrated in the 1930s by the European Marxists. Higher education was mortally wounded by the 1960s. It was dead by the 90s. The last 20 years have just been an exercise in defiling the corpse.
...and that's to say nothing of higher education being used as a recruitment center for government agencies like the CIA, KGB, Mossad, MI6, etc.

Nothing can be taken from you which you are not prepared to give up. Nothing comes without a fight and it's time to fight. "He only deserves freedom who is prepared to defend it". They can't jail all of us.
Is there any limit to free speech? Outright lies, misinformation, danger to others, etc.? The classic example being yelling Fire when there is none, and many getting injured in the ensuing panic.

In my view if a PUBLIC FUNDED campus does NOT support FREE SPEECH
It should be DEFUNDED
charlie brownau : Agree .
Free people for Freedom Of Speech.
Anti freedom of speech is to put ideas in prison.
Cut the funding by half. The rivers of fees extracted by the university allowes the Neoliberial experiment to continue.
By using that metric virtually all public schools would be defunded.
A university is a a bunch of buildings, it is administration and professors that are violating the Constitution. I would suggest that it is easier to call them traitors and allow them to excile themselves to a country that enjoys the restrictions that they crave. Leave us to our horrible freedoms that they find offensive.
Do not destroy an asset just because it is overrun with the foolish. Consider the case of evergreen university in Washington... If you give them time... They will destroy it themselves. How do we save both the schools and the students from the destruction that they are creating?
Seems to me that too many people don’t know what it is to be hungry.
This started long ago and has been a constant erosion.
That is something my mom would say being she barely survived the Russian Marxists

As this slippery slope gets steeper and steeper, I’m stunned at how many adults I would have assumed are rational, will proclaim loudly and proudly how stunning are the clothes of the naked emperor. 🤦🏼♀️
Yes, and denounce you if you say otherwise.
But why fear to state the cause of the slippery slope. Power comes from controlling the central banks. View the video, *The Creature From Jekyll Island (by G. Edward Griffin).* This video is still 100% relevant today.
Jeωish Harvard professor, Noel Ignatiev said the following: *_“We’ll keep bashing the dead White males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as the White race is destroyed. Not deconstructed, but destroyed.”_* *_“The goal of abolishing the White race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed White supremacists.”_*
But how many white people have met someone who identifies as a white supremacist? It's just a word for a white nationalist perhaps. No different to the nationalism that is accepted in Israel or Japan.
The know All+ Very interesting... And I believe the tactic may be to divide us and have us destroy ourselves..
Me too, my entire life-long friend group!
Interesting that people, who strongly promote diversity of gender, race and culture - do not value diversity of opinion ......!!??
How is that, I wonder ....?
hypocrisy and if you think it thru for a moment, diversity of race / culture ... in reality really means just morphing into 1 and the same race/culture, so it fits with the 1 opinion only that dictates the dominant group that 'll rule
Estrid Melissa The irony is never lost on me.
Unfortunately, if you watch the whole thing - you'll see these women hold that SAME VIEW.
They state they consider people who oppose vaccinations, promote Flat Earth theory, etc have "nothing to add."
I don't care how ridiculous their claims are, that is the exact reasoning used to try to silence these women, so for them to hold the Same toward people THEY don't agree with is pure hypocrisy!
That kind of inconsistency of logic is either way above their heads, or they simply don't indulge in that kind of critical thinking or introspection.
@@bobleglob162 I imagine they are convinced they are above any ciiticism or doubt - as of course they are completely right and justifyed. (irony is a strong possibility here.)
When someone says they are offended, I just give them a perplexed look, and wait for them to make an actual point - they never do
Just tell them you're offended that they are offended that you have your own opinion 🤷♀️
"Saying 'That's offensive' is not an argument." - Christopher Hitchens
The girl talking about free speech and then saying how she won’t let certain people come and speak at the school… She is the quintessential example of what’s wrong in America today!
Not everything is about America. None of the panellists is (US) American.
@Andrew McLaughlin
Diversity is the most divisive term in the English language. The proper word is "unity", because unity means we are all together, working toward a common goal and "diversity" just means "to divide".
She was talking about the Anti-Vaccers wasn't she? Those people have caused more deaths than that religion (Christian Scientists?) that doesn't allow ANY medical treatment for any reason what-so-ever, not even a large butchers knife sticking from their chest. If those morons convince one in a thousand folk to NOT get vaccinated and they go on to convince even larger numbers by claiming "I heard that vaccinations kill at a debate at the university of Sydney last month" and it wouldn't matter who actually won the debate.
BTW none of the women were from the USA. One WAS American though, NORTH American that is, as Canada is part of the North American Continent. The other two were from Down Under.
This is how open-minded, intelligent people behave.

I think the second speaker hit the nail on the head - a motivated minority versus an acquiescent majority. Unless the majority gets motivated, we're screwed!
Citizens got motivated and ran over the White House! Not that I agree, but I understand the frustration. They were sick of staunchy long time legislators and lobbyists setting up regulations. They ended up in jail. Who had the guns? Think it was the police?

Couldn’t agree more! Here in the UK we seem to be not just matching what’s happening elsewhere, but accelerating rapidly beyond others. I’m not university educated, nor a degree holder, just an ordinary 68 year old, whose worked all my life (and still in semi-retirement have two jobs) paid my taxes etc etc. Now I hear younger folk(in the main) now “barking in my direction” about a range of topics eg. race, gender, white privilege etc, through a variety of mediums, aided and abetted by the MSM, limp politicians, and worst of all so -called “virtue signalling celebs”!

They had me until the panel stated they would not invite “Anti-vaccers” This is a term used to discredit people with genuine concerns about the safety of some vaccines. In my opinion most of the people that bring up reservations about some vaccines just want safe vaccines.
I'm an ANTI V.
Have been since my healthy body began to collapse under excruciating pain after receiving two doses of MMRV. First of all, VARICELLA v??? Wtf????
But I wouldn't have been accepted into the university, didn't even finish the 1st trimester, anyway.
Problem is there are no genuine concerns . There are idiots talking about a subject they have no knowledge of..
There is no evidence that vaccines do anything other than what they are developed for . The term Anti-vaccser is not a term to discredit it is to describe . It is nice that you have an opinion but unless it is a considered opinion by someone with some knowledge it is not any good to anybody. The danger of not having a an almost universal vaccination is that Polio Diphtheria Typhus and especially Meslese could end up killing kids like they used to before WWII
Thank you , they preach about acceptance but only if it agrees with they phoney baloney bullshit.

So you're saying that all the doctors that speak against vaccine safety have no knowledge and all the parents with vaccine injured children are mistaken and all the money paid to these parents for said injuries also have no knowledge. You are speaking about what you have NO Knowledge about .

We must speak up to our neighbors and friends about this. We will not escape the fear of cancel culture till we are all speaking freely about our traditions and values.
people are different to one another and they have their own, but we must be able to perpetuate our own traditions along with them and theirs.
When people accept responsibility for their lives and their feelings, they will cease to be offended. Taking offense is irresponsible, it's blaming others for our emotions. This is the result of a bad shift in how we raise young people now. We have raised irresponsible, blaming and selfish people.
I think it's normal to take offense at one thing or another. The problem arises when subjective criteria become the standard by which all actions are judged. In other words, people who "feel" oppressed are oppressed, people who "feel" they're the wrong gender become transgender. Regardless of the intent of your remark or actions, it becomes offensive if the aggrieved party perceives it that way. We used to say, "People should be in touch with their feelings." Now, universities have gone to the other extreme. Feelings are the only thing that matters.
@@tanler7953 Plus individuals claim to be offended on behalf of a whole group they are part of, so it becomes the group, like a ganging up situation, applying pressure to the individual.

Tiffany Jenkins did an amazing speech in my opinion. I'm going to show this to as many people as I can.
No one can make you feel small or insignificant without your permission.
No actually that's wrong. You need to study human behavior and psychology. Self esteem comes from within. If you feel your in competition with others you will never be happy. But if your in competition with yourself to be a better person than you were yesterday then your self esteem will reflect that.
Its a matter of taking control and responsibility for your own life or fall on the crutch and live with the self made excuse that its all their fault for your feelings of inadequacy.
We can't NOR should we be protected against everything that may personally offend us.
Dr Tiffany Jenkins got it perfectly right when she said they want to keep us in a state of perpetual childhood.
She kind of lost me when she said "these ARE university students... they aren't DUMB...." Uh... I work at a university... they are dumb as hell.
And then, literally minutes later... "most students don't care, aren't involved, get the lowest grade that can pass...."
Some are... I worked at Uni as well training student assistants. There were two types: my favourite were the ones who caught on right away and did a marvelous job and then there were the ones who didn't have a clue what the job entailed and when you corrected them (which was often necessary) they whined that they were being treated unfairly. The blame in this situation was always shifted to me. The students in the first group went on to having great careers and I've lost track of the baby whiners.
If you think university students are dumb, you should get a job at a high school. Those dumb university students are culled from that lot. College kids are generally the least dumb among their peers.

Advice for those prone to finding micro-aggression in everyday social intercourse. When you detect micro-aggression , the proportionate response is micro-offence. Do this, and you will live a much happier and healthier life. And have more friends.
One of my most profound memories of college was of a classmate so well known for her explosive outbursts during lectures whenever something came up she found upsetting that she earned nicknames like 'Triggerella' and 'Antisocial Barbie'. Over a period of about two years she was frequently disrupting lectures, during which time professors were at odds with how to deal with her. I ended up switching universities, after which I later learned that during one of her meltdowns she punched another student during a lecture, and was subsequently expelled. Luckily, since then the state colleges in my state have made new rules about such behavior, for which students can be suspended or even expelled for breaking.
how these people manage to be constantly offended and angry, i mean, ain't that exhausting?
I'm shocked by your suggestion 😳
Is higher education “at risk”? Higher education has gone off the cliff. Enjoy your “Cultural Oppression” degree. And no we won’t forgive your student debt.
or, you might end up forgiving the student debt after all
@@watcherwlc53 sorry, but never going to happen. Our entire economy is based on a consumer debt structure. Where every thing is overvalued because of a buy now pay for the rest of your life system. Sorry Watcher, looks like you’re going to have to pay for that worthless degree after all.
I love that people are offended, that just means their arguments are not based in fact but by assumption. I used to work with an Irish lad, a great person, salt of the earth. We were all firefighters, he had been known as Paddy all his career. Even his name badge was Paddy.
One day we had an ''equal'' opportunities lecture from this young woman who went round the room and asked us all our names, and Paddy said his name was Paddy. She was appalled, and said ''That cannot be your name, it's an Irish stereotype, what are you really called?''
He said, ''I was christened Michael, but my brother, my two sisters, and my mother all call me Paddy. I work with these guys 24 hours a day, I trust them like they are my family, they call me Paddy too, and the fact that you demand they call me something else, is rude and oppressive!''
She said ''But don't you see that is offensive'' he replied, ''If you're offended by my family, then it's you that has the problem not me''
Having a nickname is a rare privilege in the workplace.
That’s a perfect story to illustrate the point, I will definitely be using this as an example next time someone tries to tell me what I should be offended by. Good on ya, Paddy!!
No one can make you feel small or insignificant without your permission
The worst thing - the poor man even doesn´t see how bad this is, he is clearly brainwashed by our oppresive society. He should be sent to a reeducation camp, where they would open his eyes and show him that he is offended
I move that we dub him St. Paddy for that last remark he made
I am sad to say that since this talk a year ago, things continue to deteriorate at Universities.
I'm glad I dropped out and I'm never planning to go back.
No school for my little son , either.
The mistake in this assumption is that we as a society at any point have been Sane.

I have listened to the full recording and I am disgusted by the amount of bullying that went on by a bunch of closed minded "academics". It appears to me that they believe that education should be reduced to the level of the lowest common denominator. It should be sanitised to fit the most basic, least sophisticated level of taste, sensibility, or opinion of all the students.
How long before every student obtains their degree even if they failed the course. After all it really wasn't their fault, the course was too difficult and they were outside their comfort zone which made them feel threatened.
The feds should curtail federal funding for these worthless degrees.
Snowflakery is really about narcissism. It makes people feel more important than they really are.
There is this black woman at my work that I want to call a snowflake, but I am worried she might take offence because snowflakes are inherently white. Do you think it would be better to call her a neutral coloured snowflake?

Says it all for me. Praise be for modern schooling. It is so much better than the shit I had to endure in by gone times.
Close. It's "Gender studies" in Universities. There are professors specialising in various nuances of it who lecture students and social workers and Police Policymakers and teachers. Hence Labour's stance on intolerance of it's members who simply want to debate it throwing them out of the party as "trans-phobes" and purveyors of hate.
@Austin Carlson all of you are way off beat around 33:00 Tiffany talks about this. Jimmy said schools have a lot to answer for, that's all. They need to return to the ideal of education, not "care" for the mentally fragile. All yall replying just relax and watch the video.
@Thomas Wilson Feminism is all about pointing out real failings in the systems we live by. Which has to be a good thing, yea?
539 dislikes of a discussion of freedom of speech, the ceasing of abusing others to bully the world to agree with one's every opinion, and common sense. Their parents failed.
Carry on the love of learning. All of these issues should be discussed with courtesy and respect. The leadership of our educational institutions do need to have courage and wisdom about when to step in. Not all ideas deserve a platform that raises their credibility to be on a par with actual knowledge.

Yes true , and i did ! take note, but i'm also abreast to alot of this as I've been watching looking seeing and talking to other Rad Feminists IRL as well as online many of us have seen this all unfold on line now for over 10 years ..
@@paintitblack6728 And....?????
@SuperRat Station It leads to no good.
You need to be careful with the term 'feminist.' There is a world of difference between second wave feminists (who were real civil rights activists) and third/fourth wave feminists (who are bold-faced sexists/racists).
@@toobnoobify We dont need to be careful with that term. Its done. Dont get my wrong, the only wave, that I like is the second wave. They had that notion "we can do it" and "let us decide" so basicly treat women like men and let them face danger and the consequences. Thats responsibilty right there. Thats what men basicly done their entire life. Thats not cherrypicking, thats taking the whole load...well, then sone idiots within the movement and third wave came along.
Absolutely wonderful and inspiring presentation in the middle of a world gone mad ! Thank all of you !
Great video and discussion! So glad I found it! Great to know I am not alone in this!
If words were dangerous I would have been dead 50 years ago.
Equality of outcomes assumes an inequality of merit: I think that’s the definition of racism and sexism
Well said and nicely put. Post-modern Marxist ideology is not what it pretends to be.
Excellent. It has been a long time since I have heard a conversation that was rooted to the idea of thought. Any thought without conversation and debate is unformed and infantile in its expression and following subsequent action upon that immature ideology. It is as if the entire world has been taken over by grownup size 2 year olds throwing a temper tantrum. A vigorous debate by intelligent conversation doesn’t mean you don’t get your feelings hurt. The truth is never ultimately realized when any conversation about any subject is not allowed to happen. Brilliant points all around. Thank you!
We will not allow these individuals to NERF THE WORLD 👀💯💯💯
The fear of offending one person in a class basically silences instructors of any class, public school or university, from daring to say or do anything that someone could twist into a complaint and resulting investigation. Mind you, trying to be careful will not necessarily save one from being targeted by a complaint.
When I listen to Lindsey Shepard's story, I have the feeling that parts of it sound familiar to me. She was accused of wrongdoing based on a complaint the content of which was never presented to her. I read a similar story before. It was in Franz Kafka's novel "Der Process" (The Trial).
Haven't read that book yet and had forgotten about it. Thanks for jogging my memory!
A glimmer of hope, thank you ladies.
I don't like trump, but these liberals are pushing me to vote for him
Trump or Biden? is there relay a choice?
...along with a couple hundred thousand other voters who don't agree with this twisted paradigm of thinking that has caught on in the last few decades.
The potus is probably the biggest snowflake. Can't take criticism. Thinks everyone is unfair to him. Tars and feathers himself, then gets offended over people pointing it out. Constantly blaming someone for something, often it's something he had the most control over. Tries to shut down any views he doesn't like. Tries to ban people from his twitter, then cries about twitter correcting him claiming he's being censored. The guy with the largest platform in the world is crying over being corrected and not having a safe space! If you didn't know any better, you would think this was one of the biggest issues of 2020. He's a big cry baby. I'm sure everyone could add another example to this list.
Snowflakery isn't a generational thing. It can't see age, and doesn't know political parties. Often, the biggest snowflakes are the people who call others snowflakes. I'd argue most people have no introspection on this issue. Many of them are the same people commenting on this video and they're all going to claim they aren't snowflakes.
Here in US, you cannot even discuss and talk about being snowflake, ‘cause how dare you? I’m so sick of it
Snowflakes eventually melt
The term snowflake is derisive obviously. Why cant we stop being pricks to each other?
@richard hall You're!!!
Maybe express more eloquently than saying "snowflake" as an argument, it's a good start(:
And we've identified the snowflakes present.
I am 60 years old and able to ignore all this snow flake shit. Seems its getting just like 1984.
There are plenty of people of your age that support the snowflake cause, maybe they are the ones that started it.
Orwell saw this coming.
Jonathan you can not ignore it.
If someone says that you have said something (regardless of whether it was deliberate or even whether you had any understanding of their concerns) that they perceive to have been slighted or wronged, then you can be charged with a hate crime. That goes on your record.
You could say the same thing and another trans would have no issue with it. The same thing may have been OK yesterday to a trans, but today they've changed their opinion. It is THEY that define the crime at that moment, by declaring that they perceive it as offensive and likely to put them in danger.
The only way you can ignore it is by never communicating with anyone.
I'm 65. BTW. It doesn't make me immune to the risk.
@@lubberwalker I can spot them easily , I test the ground first and if they are a snowflake I ignore them and they have no part in my life , but I guess by doing that I am not actually ignoring them.
@@patthewoodboy You are using good old fashioned common sense and steering clear when you notice them. Most people will do the same. They may die out. Being obnoxious bullying little gobshites doesn't win many friends and allies to a cause. They certainly won't procreate.
Good luck youngster.
Lady in pink is my hero. “Social contract of gravity .... you can’t embarrass these people”. That’s how you make a point.
A very enjoyable talk, Could another upload be made available with the audio levels increased?,
A professor of "transgender studies" that alone is amazing.
Haha Its a f11king joke. What value could any of these loony made up degrees possibly have in the real world. Imagine seeing that on a job interview resume.
You got problems when you to know what rest room to go in.
@Member Berries Marxism is a social/economical concept. It doesn't have to do anything with gay/trans people. In fact, in communist and socialist regimes being different was a crime, so they often incarcerated, even killed gay people (trans wasn't really a thing back then).
@@MiklosHajma they're the largest supporter of Marxism. They're ignorant to know that truth because they're only told to hate conservatives. They don't know why they hate them, they just get pushed to the left. They're the most aggressive. Look at BLM. Founded by two lesbians. They literally say they're "Marxist trained".
How about Lesbian Dance? I kid you not, some they/them/? was bragging about a degree in that on a campus just last week .
Have we all gone mad "YES!!!
"We"??? I have nothing to do with white-haters!
Wtf??!! The lunatics have taken over the asylum at last.
Conclusion - don't waste your time and money in an University, unless it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

So glad this is being discussed in Australia. Gives me hope. God bless them.

When these kids have to go into the workplace, they’re gonna go broke!
No, because the work places are falling under the same agendas
@@DevonDandy but there are too many graduates with degrees in feminist karaoke and not enough HR jobs
That's the agenda of the radical left. Let them go broke, let the society falter and everyone to be so broke and powerless, then they can eradicate population by mass numbers...
Look at the Georgia Guide stones, "Maintain Humanity under 500 Million" !
Yeah that was the hope, but as Devon Dandy said, they achieved to poison the workplace as well...
That's the intention, reinforcement of socialism.
The discussion here was excellent. " We put too much stock in politics and politicians. The solutions & answers are found out side of politics"
"don't out shout, just don't show up, that would speak louder"
So many other great points
Imagine what would happen if a war broke out and real situations of physical violence actually happened. These Snowflakes would be mental messes

1:22:30 When I heard it, a famous quote came to mind: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
Liberty is not your right to be an arsehole Liberty is freedom from persecution by the state . Liberty has a specific definition as used in the Constitution and not how many people define it ,i.e The ability to do whatever you want .
@@1lightheaded >> Liberty is not your right to be an arsehole
Correct
>> Liberty is freedom from persecution by the state
Incorrect. State is not the only authority which can restrict your life, behaviour or views. Being ostracised by others works just as well.
>> Liberty has a specific definition as used in the Constitution
If you mean the US Constitution, it contains no definition of liberty
>> The ability to do whatever you want
A very simplistic definition indeed.
Note to self! Do not encourage any of my grandchildren to attend university!
Colleges have been cranking out graduates with unemployable degrees and then leaving them with a mountain of student loan debt. Prospective enrollees of expensive colleges should realize that important classes twill be taught by grad students while tenured professors pursue grants which are far more lucrative to the universities.
10:22 I'm a 48 year old man from Texas and having to sit in a room and listen to the abuse and accusations this young woman went through, I probably would have cried too.

What great analysis of everything that has gone wrong in academic communities. I taught at university for 6 years. I was shocked by the arrogance and narcissism of many of the students. Their attitude reflected some distorted message received from parents or society: That they had no use for the knowledge collected by former generations, "old people" had nothing of value to teach them, they magically knew everything already at the age of 18. This is NOT how all students think...but these shitty little narcs poison the well for everyone in a classroom setting. I left teaching...
