This is correct and happens all the time in academia. Untouchable tenured class burning their credibility in protecting the tenure class. It’s why universities are shit.
Universities are also shit because of all the subsidized money, bad loans through student loan debt, and overall access to cash they have. Take it away and let them wither and die, and all the retarded socialist programs die with them.
Eric Weinstein’s an interesting guy. Left Libertarian but a strong defender of free speech, anti-Establishment, willing to sit down with Ted Cruz or James O’Keefe and discuss areas of disagreement courteously…
One of his concepts directly relevant to the Hunter Biden scandal:
"Anti-interesting, adj.: A subject is said to be anti-interesting if it is absolutely fascinating to the point where there is a strong market for its investigation but it threatens an institution capable of stifling discussion inside the Gated Institutional Narrative (GIN)."
The GIN defined:
“In order to actually participate in a particular special conversation, you need to have a seat on the exchange, that is you need to write for an important paper, like the Wall Street Journal, or you need to be a Senator or a Congressman...” [Gotta get me some of dem talking points!]
“The rest of us do not have the same level, or kind of access.[The GIN] is comparable to professional wrestling. It's an agreed-upon structure in which people often agree to simulate dispute.” [Sounds a lot like the Swamp Uniparty…]
“The problem with this [GIN] is that it doesn't contain the most important ideas. And that is where the gating function comes in. The most important ideas are likely to be the ideas that are the most disruptive.”
Some of the examples he gives:
•What if diversity, wasn't a sign of our strength, but sometimes a sign of our weakness?
•What if, for example, immigration, far from being an issue of xenophobes versus xenophiles was actually an instance of redistribution having little to do with xenophobia or xenophilia to begin with?
So here’s a CLASSICAL Liberal willing to think outside the box of Left-Wing ideology and consider that he (or any of us) may have things wrong… How rare is this type of Liberal these days? One in a million, sadly… But his Portal is an important platform for reasoned dialogue between the Right and Left.. (What he calls "the intellectual Dark Web".) I hope it represents a growing trend.
(Weinstein’s brother Bret, also a Left Libertarian, is the professor who resigned from Evergreen U. in 2017 after being assaulted for standing up against anti-white racism on campus.)
If "Drain the swamp" is impossible, "Replace the swamp with a functional, private-sector sewage system" is good enough.
Nope. It's either drain the swamp, or BUST.
And what does that mean in a practical sense? What would you do if not replace these people with people that the president trusts?
Exactly what it says on the tin, so to answer your second question, yes.
This is correct and happens all the time in academia. Untouchable tenured class burning their credibility in protecting the tenure class. It’s why universities are shit.
Universities are shit because of the CFR and administration. Individual Profs are small potatoes.
Universities are also shit because of all the subsidized money, bad loans through student loan debt, and overall access to cash they have. Take it away and let them wither and die, and all the retarded socialist programs die with them.
