Academia is now infested with mindless political ideologues masquerading as "intellectuals". It, and they, are worthy only of our disdain.

It is not new, but was, rather, unseen by those outside their walled garden. For fifty years, university academics have bathed in their own poisonous ideation, wallowed in it. They dispensed with the discovery of truth long, long ago. Now they will turn on themselves, indeed have already begun — dropping enrollment, widespread demoralization — and the knife fights in these bureaucracies will only increase as they each struggle to survive. They created their little garden of poison ivies and deadly nightshade and now they have to play in it.

Yep. Look at Harvard's relationship with the sugar industry over the last few decades.

This shit has been going on for a long time.

I spent a substantial portion of my life in that environment, having also served eight years as a soldier in combat arms specialties, and certainly agree the academic cloister is nothing new but the now overwhelming control of intolerant, anti-intellectual political zealots within academia is, in my experience.

Incidentally after separating from the military institution, which I'd come to find repulsive, I initially loved the academic environment, ultimately intending to serve as a professor, however even then it became clear the academy was growing ever more intolerant and toxic. Now happily free of all institutions (soon cruising under sail full time) I'm in a position to discuss issues thoughtfully and honestly with other open minded, thoughtful people who are actual intellectuals (no grad degree required).

The academics and the bureaucrats in American colleges are people who are incapable of making a living anywhere else and must find a way to survive, as all creatures on this earth are compelled to do. To feed at the trough, they must herd with the rest, ideationally speaking, or be kicked out into the wilderness where people like you and I have been hunters on our own and eat what we kill.

The trend in the academy long ago moved away from scholarship and towards falsehood and fraud -- this is unsurprising because academics long ago loudly announced to all who might hear them (and few did) that they had dispensed with truth. Without the goal of attaining to truth, they can only pretend to discover it.

Of course, there are exceptions and real scholars still exist, such as Stephen Kotkin at Princeton or Yuri Slezkine at Berkeley or Victor Hanson and Thomas Sowell as Stanford. There must be young ones, too. I'm always surprised that they have not only survived but seemingly have even thrived in those environments. I'm very encouraged by the recent development of the classical schools, the University of Austin and, of course, homeschooling. Great things are happening -- what we are witnessing is the end of the Leftist's castle, crumbling upon his foundation of sand.

Absolutely, we must remember though the institution may be deeply debased by intellectually inept political ideologues there are courageous, intelligent, tolerant professionals among them still. Like you I don't know how they stomach that environment today. I think in my case having exited an institution which I'd found to be intellectually oppressive and profoundly destructive to society (the military) I quickly came to realize I was heading into another toxic institution (at great expense) albeit almost the polar opposite in most regards.

Incidentally, though I have no reason to make my own case, to address those who might think I'm a disgruntled grad school dropout that is not the case. I was studying in a well known graduate program, which anyone in the field would recognize immediately, and had completed the Masters level without any great difficulty but decided not to pursue a Ph.D. as originally intended for the reason noted. Two professors, both well known and regarded in the field for good reason, encouraged me to change my mind with one offering to remove any financial obstacles, which was a dream offer since I'd expended most of my military savings at that expensive private graduate school at that point. I of course expressed my deep appreciation for the offer then told him, frankly and for the first time, why I'd decided to leave, noting it had nothing to do with the financial challenge which I knew I could recover from later. Since I'd never discussed my observations regarding political degradation of the academic field with him before I was quite surprised when he acknowledged, without reservation, that my reason for leaving was sound. He was one of the few truly intellectual and independent minded professors I came to know while a grad student; a remarkable professor and human being.

I'm not going to name the professor because I value anonymity but I can tell a story. I was a brand new grad student still very much unaccustomed to the new academic environment I was in, which was very different from my undergrad experience, and I believe it was the second or third session of our first micro theory class when I asked this professor a question and used the word "need". He instantly exploded, as in yelled loudly, in response while impressing upon us why that term had no place in any discussion of microeconomic theory; and as I came to understand with more study he was absolutely correct. The class of newbie grad students was aghast and I was certainly surprised by his response. After he finished energetically emphasizing his point I responded by noting that I had never looked at the matter that way, and oh by the way I'd had drill sergeants who made him look like a pussycat. In response he grinned and laughed. I'm happy to report the other students survived the encounter :)

All reads true to me. Start your own school! You'd lead a good one.

Thanks, I think we have a rather good thing going here on Substack (so far, fingers crossed). I plan to write regularly once the boat work is mostly complete. I'm doing almost all the work myself and I'm no expert, so it isn't fast and I'm rather beat at the end of most days (in fact I need to get back to working on the solar installation now). I'm very much looking forward to interacting with people here and anywhere else which affords the free exchange of ideas. Plus I'll be producing cruising videos for anyone who'd like to come along via that media.

Have you watched the excellent documentary about evolution theory "Expelled, no intelligence allowed"? It proves that "Science" has been hijacked by ideologues a long time ago!

What’s your best way to wake-up those who don’t want to open their eyes?

Please share your most effective wake-up strategies.

The more the awakened, the sooner this nightmare will be over!

If the person doesn’t want to discuss injections, then food is a good start:

Why is food poisoning legal?

How Rumsfeld forced the approval of Aspartame.

Artificial sweeteners, MSG, PFAS, Glyphosate ... go organic!

Then I’d follow with "Are you opened to see if the actual data matches your opinion?"

Then I start showing some of the shortcomings of the Pharma industry:

Then, show that every single person in the planet should be suing Pfizer for deliberately injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) into the cell nucleus of the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada !!!

If he doesn’t like the topic, I’d show this video (all you need is 10 secs in the middle, who doesn’t have 10 seconds for you):

9/11: two "planes", yet the third tower (WTC7) imploded, free falling on its footprint like in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach, and all 7 World Trade Center towers needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work precisely on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings (they never skipped work before). The inside information about the FUTURE 9/11 event helped masons make trillions by shorting the stock exchange: the records were deleted by the SEC so they wouldn't be prosecuted !!!

- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! The same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the insurrection against the stolen elections in Brazil! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.

It's such a mason manual that they organized the same J6 play in Brazil when it was proven that the voting machines owned by mason Soros, were rigged:

- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example:

1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries

2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)

- Their main source of power apart from sin-empowered demons? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.

This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: masonic and satanic secret societies counterfeit paper money and launder trillions with which they buy Banks, seats in the Federal Reserve (the only private run Central Bank in the world), political careers and parties, puppeticians, listed corporations, media, healthcare corporations and organizations, universities, foundations, judges, etc.:

The way out of this mess:

1. Create an easy system for real money: private currencies/warrants based on real assets, goods, services, etc. (gold, corn, oil, distance/volume/weight transportation, labor human hour/minute, etc.)

2. Ban legal tender. Let the free markets decide which real-currencies/valuables/warrants they prefer to trade with

3. Ban paper-backed currencies (unlike real-backed ones of point 1.)

4. Enforce a Legal Banking Reserve of 100% of deposits (so banks don't create money based on air) and therefore there's no excuse for a Central Bank, because there would be no risk of bank-runs since all their loans are fully backed with deposits

16 laws we need to exit Prison Planet

https://scientificprogress.substack.com/p/laws-to-exit-planet-prison

President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”

If you are a mason or know a mason, ask him to ask his 33° master to put in writing and sign it, who is "the great architect" and that he is not Lucifer. If he refuses, then he’ll know who he is really serving, Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW. Sooner or later he’ll be required to trample on a cross to get to a higher degree.
