Nom chomsky biggest fake piece of shit I've ever seen. Guy thinks he's some messiah to anarchism and goes around campuses across the country charging them absurd fees to hear him speak about nonsense he doesn't even follow.

You could think that atleast some republicans likes to think that higher education are left leaning and that's why they are taking a stance against it :rolleyes:  .

God I can't fucking stand TYT. Here I was expecting an actual clip of republicans saying something and instead it's just commentary.

While they obviously have an excessive liberal bias, I've always thought the program was pretty good. I never watch it, but it's high quality.

I've never bought the argument that being a professor is removing oneself from the job market and placing oneself in an ivory tower. Ivory tower, sure...but absent from the job market? Please...

And I never said I placed any more value between different disciplines...simply that those who hold phds are the most educated.


PhDs are incredibly limiting for what they're worth, unless you want to teach English Literature there are precious few reasons to obtain a PhD in it. If you'd like to make money in engineering, you certainly aren't required (or advised) to get a PhD in it.

What have the most marketability? Economists are pretty high on the list, and I don't think it's a surprise that they show a mild preference for the right.

And you still haven't qualified what you mean by "educated". Educated in English literature? Why do we care when we're discussing issues of national importance? Got a PhD in Classical Archaeology? How does this make them educated when it comes to the national economy?

The educational system by and large, from preschools to universities, appeals to left-leaning individuals, it's not saying much to point out that they've acquired a majority.

It appeals to learned individuals who want to advance human knowledge, on the Ph.D levels.

Ph.D's do one or both of two things: teaching and research. If you go to a Ph.D, you're doing it for a far greater reason than as a job opportunity.

Are you inferring that republicans are uneducated and immature?  In your last statement about Justice Roberts it sounds as though you are speaking about a certain sect.  But the impression in your overall post is that republicans are uneducated and immature.

So a popular and charismatic guy changed his mind about some things. Maybe that's good, maybe it isn't. What's so spectacular?

I wish all prominent political spheres could be competent and down to earth


simply put:
the rich republicans understand what they are promoting.
the poor republicans do not understand what they are voting for.

Conservatives are not (in Western society at least) often humanists, they prefer traditional hierarchies and traditional methods of rising up on those hierarchies.

In other words, they don't care about learning as long as they have tradition.

No, they obtain an education (often at the professional / masters level) and then obtain both wealth and social prestige.
