The Frankfurt School has systematically destroyed the West. We are just seeing the effects play out, as the largest number of young people ever become "educated."
My parents came out of school pretty Liberal (back when that word meant what it's supposed to mean), but then my Dad got drafted to Vietnam and their opinions shifted.
When I was young, I looked at a lot of different philosophies and thankfully woke up before it was too late. My sister wasn't so lucky.
As recent college grad, this is true. The dumbest people I’ve ever met were at college. It legitimately scares me how my generation so willingly gives up their rights
PhD these days mean jack shit. "Scientists" are nothing more these days but glorified extremely narrow-specializing techs, without an iota of understanding of either science or philosophy (and philosophy of science).
Thomas Kuhn may have predicted it although I'm pretty sure it was obvious to anyone interested in the subject. Hopefully, we are close enough to the next volution and will see some academic reforms in our lifetimes.
Really disappointing to people who look up to true scientists. Usually you can spot them because they say things like, "After thirty years, there's so much left to learn that I know I'll never get it."
I guess it's all really a matter of perspective and scale too: academia are many, true scientists are a few. What sucks is that the talentless bureaucrats -- bogons -- now ran academia and the advancement gets bogged down by the uncreative "researchers" who do nothing but "experiment" without a resemblance of trying to use their imagination to spruce up their approach, but that's not the worst they do -- they try to stagnate if not straight-up sabotage anyone else who's better.
And that's without even venturing into the whole SJW-ation of the research and theorization which plagues institutions with pseudo-science and, as I mentioned already, bogonity.
Absolutely. Whether because they can't be beat by someone without the credentials, or just to perpetuate the cycle of shit that is bringing in the funding, or for whatever stupid reason . . . this shit is rampant.
You can have a PhD and still be an idiot. Schools don't weed people out anymore.
Can confirm.
I have a PhD in astrophysics and most of the smartest people I know are the dumbest people I know.
These people can solve the most technical mathematical equations known to man, yet can't figure out why an armed society is polite.
Hell, they can't even figure out there are only two sexes.
Sincerely,
Your local based astrophysicist.
At least there's a few smart ones out there. :)
I know only a few other based astrophysicists. The rest have those retarded, smug smarts that only academics admire.
The common denominator here seems to be higher education. It's almost as if this lack of critical thinking skills was intentional.
But the Frankfurt School is just a myth.....

Somebody has done their homework.
I knew something was off when I was making my way through the UC system. I got lucky to escape with my critical thinking skills intact.
I think my parents were so proud when I graduated undergrad without turning into a drooling liberal.

And on top of that, they've institutionalized research/idea/IP theft.

Yale degrees clearly don't mean shit now.

You can also lack a bachelor's degree and be a genius.
Most of the stupidest people I've ever met I met in college
My grandpa use to say,"common sense isnt common"
