Summary: the political class has fully seized the means of ideological reproduction, and is now making it mandatory for every member of society to be processed through them to increase the political class's power.
summary nr2: the rich baught their way into education, letting midwits pass who had nothing left but to agree with the smart to blend in.. til all actual intellectuals were replaced by midwits just on the same train of thought. a cult if you will
It is amazing how quickly everyone has gone from thinking that University is a marker of status and an unambiguous positive for society, to it being seen as a bloated waste, that fuels student debt and moral decay.
too many people have access to higher education now. It used to be an exclusive institution, so only the best of the best could get in, but now it's just a business whose goal is to attract more customers.
@@AfePooq softscience should never be subsidesed , private sector can finance it if they want The gov need to focus on being efficient enough and promote science coz it's productive
It is very sad. We need engineers and chemists and we need classicists and theologians, but people think universities just teach gender studies and sport.
studying "social sciences" and the likes does not an education make but a subconscious marxist indoctrination experience. methinks the Japanese are on the right track about those. 😼
One thing I hate the most in a person, is if they're an elitist. And I want make this clear. I hate elitist people, but I don't hate (automatically) people who are part of elite. Elitist is person who thinks that they know everything about everything just because they have ONE university degree. And I say this as a person with university education. I was taught by my parents as a kid that you should respect people who do their job professionally and with great care whether they're garbage truck driver or rocket engineer. And people around me encourage kids to follow their passions (to reasonable extend of course😅).
That’s how my parents are and it annoys the heck out of me. They’re just so arrogant, having a superiority complex over their siblings and parents because they went further to have a phds at universities. This is despite the fact that their parents and some of their siblings make MORE money than them despite having less education. They’re actually struggling a bit financially because they’re burdened by copious amounts of debt from their educations, but that doesn’t stop them from feeling superior to their family. Ugh
no it's not, I am in the same boat, I think a lot are in the same boat. It's a common misconception that younger educated people are automatically globalist, if recent European parliament election show it's actually the opposite. Germany sneakaly lowered the voting age thinking that all 16 year olds would voted for the greens and the socialists while the EXACT opposite happened
Lost friends because I called them out on their lunacy. Course, they weren't really "friends". I honestly find more logic and common ground from the uneducated or the fervently religious. At least they have common sense or a backbone and can be negotiated with. Talking a hamas protestor or communist out of their opinion of themselves is a fool's errand because there's nothing to grapple with.
I have 2 uni degrees and 2 unfinished master degrees, yet I'm not anti globalist, but anti - those who are in high decision making position creating huge amount of wealth and wellbeing for the chosen few, and inflicting illness and suffering for the discarded majority! The older and wiser I'll get, the more I'll take the side of the mass.
there is a curious event in Brazil, where the most educated states (+diplomas per capita) will always side "far right" populist, whilst lesser educated and poorer states side social-dem
Interesting, I wonder if this is because Brazil is poorer then the West and thus more in line with the social-economic trends of Mid 20th Century West then present day west.
@@dehaman_4_144 Internal migration. If you look at the states who vost the most for the leftist party, they're concentrated on the northeast, which is very poor and demographically exhausted since young smart people tend to migrate away to the southwest. However, what happens there is that Brazil as a whole is a very pro-bureaucratic establishment country, to the point where college education turned into a ticket to bureaucratic employment and got insanely expanded with no real economic justification (kinda like china), so if you look at the economic output of states, the more productive ones tend to be right-wing, while the poorer are left-wing. Not to mention that the northeast used to be the political nexus of the country and got left behind across the inumerous political changes of the country, yet maintain a political presence through the state (you can see that happening in real time with rio de janeiro). However, the political differences inside right-wing states (for a lack of a better word) are still close i.e. you don't get a 65% majority conservative state, because of the presence of the bureaucratic establishment nation-wide.
Most educated states are the welfiest ones, in wich very fell People receive gov. welfare, the poorest ones, that sometimes are constituted of almost 80% of welfare recipents, vote for the left, the avarage Joe in a rich state is not a college graduate, and votes right wing, but the minorety of college graduates in welth areas are leftists
My parents are the spitting image of this elitist club you speak of in the video. And it annoys the heck out of me. They’re just so arrogant, having a superiority complex over their siblings and parents because they went further to have a phds at universities.

13:25 It's weird how similar we view classes today as the Chinese did under Confucianism. Under Confucianism, merchants, construction workers, Etc. while often being relative wealthy were still seen as "lower class people" for being less educated. In reality, only government bureaucrats and regulators had any social prestige. Either you were a Mandarin or you were a nobody. This sounds eerily similar to how the modern world works where the higher your degree the more you matter, in the Netherlands we also had this where the titles that came before your name matter more than the things you said. A Doctorandus' opinion was lower than that of a doctor. In imperial China (and similar societies like Vietnam and Korea) what a local magistrate said was deemed less important than a higher ranked Mandarin, who was also often addressed by his rank. The centralised exam system we have today was literally introduced to the West by the Honourable East India Company through contact with China. I wonder if our current sociological developments were simply the results of adopting that system.
May i ask where the discussions take place where a Doctorandus' opinion matters less than a doctors? If they are in the respective field of study then I can understand that the latter holds more weight. But I have never heard anyone say "Oh that guy's is opinion on x is important because he has a degree in something completely unrelated"or something along these line. So i am kinda curious where such conversations take place.
Yeah, it’s very interesting how even a relatively pointless degree and a mediocre white collar office job earning ~50k is generally more prestigious than a blue collar worker who might earn double or even more than that.
@@matthewburrow3089 I think this has less to do with Confucianism. Taiwan is also under the influence, but people don't look down on small businessman (We have pretty bright small businesses environment for a long time). And more interestingly, owner of small business on average does not have higher educational degree than sarariman.
"Either you were a Mandarin or you were a nobody." At least in Korea, people coming from farmer families could take the equivalent exam as the Mandarins had to pass in China and thus had a tiny chance of joining the elite but people from merchant families weren't allowed to do that.
Even in super equal nordic countries (that shun class) the canditate with lesser degrees or education is marked as inferior canditate to other who hold more prestigious titles. I find it quite internesting paradox. Democracy does not let in many people without elite status.
If an equal society working properly this should be the case. Prestige should be tied to ability (or general ability), and therefore in a perfectly functional society those with relevant prestigious degrees should be prioritised. (I don't know how functional the nordics are)
@@jonahworledge111 Getting education degrees is not so much about abilities, but rather about priorities and interests. In a society with a huge competition for degrees and titles, a guy who plunges into that competition and manages to come on top by a narrow margin, is not necessarily the smartest. The guy who avoids getting into the rat race and tries to do something of his own makes actually a smarter move.
I live in denmark, and it is downright impossible to attain a job with simply a bachelors degree. A masters degree is a minimum requirement, which is absurd in my eyes.
@@Finnishpeasant Definitely harder without some student job while studying (which is already full time), but at least the unemployment benefits as newly graduated is good
I may ad anecdotal experience to this: 1) The divite is mostly between talking professions and problem solving professions at least in the universities. At least in our department [maths] its not a thing to talk about politics and if people do this they get ostracised for starting this. We also get some discussion about ...toilets and our parts was not really happy..... same for Finance/Busness. 2) Voting isnt a game about economics, but mostly about the underlying value structure [See Tennessee paradoxon] 3) Education != formal education When I ask anyone about his "problem solving abilities" and the guy just talks about his knowlegde or deeper understaning; I know he's politically special. When I asked my friends, all of them told me their professions/projects/hobbies.
In my experience more "applied sciences" tend to have a quasi-apolitical culture and don't really discuss politics either at all or in depth. De facto these people overwhelmingly vote centre-right. They tend to value low income taxes, and are also often quite straightforward and arguably simplistic in their political thinking. Business students are the closest to them ideologically, even though they differ in other ways. Business students are much more ideologically committed centre-right supporters though and generally more concerned with making money. Once you move over to economics, the political spectrum becomes much more diverse, and this seems to be something of a middle ground, (other) social sciences then tend to become more left leaning.
@@viktator4205 Yes true. Also applied science and business students are more likely to be founders, CEOs, investors, etc. Or at least high-income professionals. So it makes sense that they prefer low taxes, free markets, etc. But they can also be socially liberal / libertarian, since they might have a diverse, multiethnic consumer base or might themselves be ethnically non-majority.
@@JanOsusky Yes, often (an for historical reasons) people assume the best groups of people to pedict their behaviour are by income/net wealth, but in the US and specially Tennessee people dont behave in the way the modelling pedicts them. T. has a lot of lower income people, but they still dont vote for wealth tranfers nor for democrats. For some reason people follow their value even if their values are different from the understanding of analyst haha
One of your best videos, well done. I’d add some points: 1. As young men realise they are losing from this system even “educated” young men are turning right/populist 2. In Australia and US, it’s very observable that domestic student enrolment is on decline especially for males. Trade jobs are now starting to have higher salaries than white collar uni grad jobs. Trade jobs not as at risk as shoe collar “cognitive” jobs. 3. Bureaucracy is becoming female dominated like other govt jobs such as teaching where guys no longer feel comfortable working there 4. I can see situation where female dominated bureaucracy regulating male dominated financially powerful male blue collar resurgent workforce
On point 4: Back in the day there was a form of industrial action called "work to rule", in which workers did exactly what their job description said. The threat of it struck fear into the hearts of managers who had experienced it. Work to rule is the way forward.
That’s all quite black and white, certainly your prediction for the future. You may want to stay of the redpill stuff for just a bit. Although there does seem to be an interesting dynamic with men wanting to stand out, picking up activities that others won’t do, this somehow becoming the next cool thing, and women feeling excluded and wanting to partake, which makes it no longer” the cool man-defining” thing. It’s one force among many though, but there’s a bit of a cat and mouse game going on there.
@@mr-boothere's actually statistical evidence for men increasingly opting out of fields that experience an uptake in female participation. It's very real. It's not clear why but it's definitely happening. Teaching is perhaps the best example. Anecdotally, meaning from my personal experience (typical white collar office bs job) it's always been much more difficult working with females than males. There's far more interpersonal conflict. Personally I shy away from both female bosses as well as female coworkers. It's simply a headache I don't need. Make of that what you want.
The populist right is not particularly right wing. The main thing driving its popularity is opposition to mass 3rd world immigration (often illegal) paradoxically of people who often hold extremely conservative views about how society should be run. It is incredibly ironic that young women, the very people put most at risk if this immigration continues unabated, are the biggest supporters of it. The greatest irony is Europe and America are being flooded with millions of illegal and often under educated immigrants every year but both make immigration for Europeans to America (and vice versa) incredibly time consuming and expensive. They have their priorities all wrong.
I disagree. At least, with the elites of the populist right. The rank and file populist right may not be particularly right wing beyond a few key issues, but the elites of the movement like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and the like are seeking to shoehorn in extremely regressive ideas, like eliminating income tax and restoring a feudal power structure to protect the status of the wealthy. For instance, project 2025 is not populist. It’s dressed in the language of populism, but it’s anything but.
I really don’t understand why they make it so difficult for an American to immigrate to a European country or a European to immigrate to America. Yet they let millions of other unvetted people just walk into the countries!!
You are comparing pears to apples and only idiocy is your excuse. An illegal immigrant can arrive at anytime in any nation, but likewise he will lack rights and means to reach a good life. People from poor nations who immigrate legally also have to wait forever, spend lots of money and very often get rejected.
@@laikanbarth And you genius cannot wonder why. The normal answer is to blamed all on the poor nations. BUT YOU, WESTERNERS STARTED THIS WORLD. There was never going to be massive immigration. A typical western answer is that past is past, and deny all wrong doing by the west. Colonialism never ended. The situation is actually worse now. But Russia has helped many African nations expel French legions (=invaders)
I have a degree in electrical engineering, and I find uneducated people to be much "better" people, but it is harder to find common interests with them since they tend to have less of an intellectual curiosity.
in our day and age it becomes more and more apparent that a young adult with energy and working capacity is stuck for 3-4 years in a system that does not produce added value. 19 to 23 is prime human age and you are stuck learning often outdated concepts. I get that you need to do it ina structured manner, but why the constraints of time. You should be able to get all info in a year, if you want , or in 10
That's what I was pondering recently. Why does it have to be a 4 or 5 year degree. If we treat it as a job with an 8 hour workday you could accomplish it in a year at most. It's a colossal waste of time. Right now unless one is studying to be a medical doctor or something just as specific uni is completely pointless. And despite employers knowing it is pointless they still insist you have it along a number of other achievements which are the ones that actually make the difference like experience or some specialized certificate.
I disagree. Actually universities offer you a lot of useful material over those years. Information is valuable - knowledge is power. It's good that you're getting 4-5 years worth of intense learning. If you need to make money urgently, fine, I can understand. Then don't go to university; there are plenty of jobs that pay well and only require brief education or even just experience - construction, childcare, school teaching, web design. But if/when you can afford it, I think a degree can be a genuinely rewarding pursuit.
@@jaythefoxthe problem is not that the information itself is useless, but more so that despite the students learning tons of invaluable things they still cannot land a job since the knowledge itself doesn’t result in acquiring skills needed in the workforce. Some degrees do not suffer from this problem however others are knees deep in it. Even if you learn a myriad of things it will result in a net negative outcome if your degree doesn’t get you employed and you end up losing your life savings in the process.
@@taruemilia9335 Sure, if you need money then go get a job, I don't disagree with you there. Actually this was exactly what I did. But education isn't just about getting a job NOR is it about some kind of creepy "informed voter" BS. Education is about deep and broad knowledge that makes you more effective in achieving your goals. Those goals can include: investing, improving your health, convincing people, preparing for the future. Once you have some financial capital it's worthwhile IMO to acquire some intellectual capital.
I've worked and taught 3 courses (1 bachelor's, 2 master's) at an Austrian university. students put no effort into my course. They were mid, most were not really qualified to enter uni in the first place. all three of my courses were business courses taught in English. The students' English was abysmal (except for the 5 Irish exchange students). Their presentation skills were abysmal. Their presentation material was abysmal. Their critical thinking was zero. I had to let them pass. I quit before even finishing my second semester😅 No thank you.
Wait, you gave classes in school and are surprised that people still need to grow their skills? Helping them developing their skills is your whole job. If all of them failed, then at least consider the possibility that you can still grow in your teaching skills.
@@mr-boo No. They lack basic maths skills and other knowledge which is required and usually obtained via the local pendant to A-levels (since we usually don't have entrance exams). While I do think that they passed those A-levels tests on honest terms, they seem to have forgotten everything in that summer vacation between highschool and university. I did those same courses 10yrs prior, and the level of my then-cohorts was significantly higher. I was actually one of the lower performing students, even. I say introduce entrance exams across the boards (and screen the knowledge of exchange/foreign students). That would solve lots of the issues.
My problem with academics and "educated" people is that they are separate from reality and actual social forces. Their "solutions" lack cultural and social context. Sure, you can shut down all oil and nuclear plants, and try to replace them with solar panels... only to realize it was not enough so now you have to use coal, which is worse than the things you replaced. They live in a very theoretical world that is not very empathic to working people and the consequences of radical change. That is why they support mass migration and policy that hurts working people... until it also hurts them, which is why they got skeptic of migration when politicians started to import Indians to replace professionals.
The worst thing about this mass college education is that vast majority of those people don't learn anything useful or even challenging cognitively. Here in Poland women attend uni at rates almost double those of men. Yet if you look at STEM then besides medicine you get a massive under representation of women. How come? Well they overwhelmingly go to study sociology, psychology, politics, all sorts of cultural studies and linguistics. Most of those end up useless, in fact many don't even challenge you to think. You just regurgitate material, while wasting years of your life. It also hurts demography, but that's a whole other conversation.
Dumą, polska jest kraj logiczny, rationalny a matematyczny. Filozofia matematyczna była studia państwa.... W Uw, UAM i we Lwówie... Nie Teraz? Jeszcze raz!!
It isn't about knowing stuff or even getting an actual career, it's about imitating the dames of contemporary nobility (that also explains the comparatively higher % of women in medicine vs other STEM courses).
I also know a lot of people studying STEM subjects, who only memorized how to calculate without bothering to understand any philosophy or critical thinking. It goes both ways.
Representative democracy (either fptp federations or parliamentary) is a way to gauge the sentiment of the population. It's a tool for the elites to know what to adjust. It's still better than all alternatives, but there are democratic alternatives that are better.
It's an oversimplification to say that the right is populist and the left is elitist. There's also populism on the left, and what you refer to as the left in this video, is at best center-left, but I'd say it's neoliberal center. Macron in France and Biden in the US is not what I would call left. They both get votes from people who are left, because the alternative in the latest elections were the far right. But from any socialists perspective, they are more to the right that to the left. I live in Sweden, and in the last election, our right-wing populist party, the Sweden Democrats, just experienced the first election were they lost votes compared to the last election. One of the reasons for that is that it was recently revealed that they operate anonomous accounts on numerous social media platforms. Which undermines democracy. Another reason is that they are now part of the governing coalition, and it's not very popular. They've had to compromise away some of their populist positions to appease the traditional right-wing parties they cooperate with. I consider myself a more traditional left-wing person. A socialist. I'm working class, but also quite well educated. But I would probably be called elitist by the populist right, and called populist by the elitist center.
It's truly absurd how much self entitlement some people become when they enter university. Politically they start to consider themselves "way too educated" to be support certain moviments and parties. But then when you ask them some questions you see it is all non logical arguments and there is actually a more sentimental base for their political ideias, a elitist sentiment (Saying this as a young student in university)
Every political opinion is based on sentiment tho. You can find conservatives also make arguments based on sentiment all the time e.g. ask any conservative about immigration and they will tell u about their dislike for the new culture they bring
Id say there is "lost effort fallacy" and way too much emphasis by parents + universities are very urban thing playing into this and everywhere people instinctively adopt habits and opinions around them to belong in group. Combination of these produce those outcomes.
This is excellent. An important issue seems to be that the educated élite aren’t as all-knowing as they think they are. Even academics are too narrowly educated or too restrictedly ideological, in general. That causes a breach of trust.
Spot on. They talk about things they know nothing about. Angela Merkel has a physics degree yet she ran German immigration and economic policy. The result is nordstream (Russian blackmail) and massive social disturbance (immigration/right-wing backlash). There's ample examples like that. The credentialed class should humble themselves a little... I think worst of all is that they don't deal with the fallout of their own policies (in terms of immigration in particular housing cost, crime and wage depression). They obv implement policies that benefit them (cheap labour, rising real estate values, securing their own often state financed jobs, a growing consumer base etc). Simple as that. It's actually a good strategy to simply vote against their interest, even if you know these policies are dogs****. You're actually helped simply by the fact that obstructing the so called elites will dampen and slow the negative effects on you. Simple. All you have to do is piss in their soup. Again, it's a perfectly reasonable strategy.
I'm from a trade school, I can tell you for almost fact that you learn more about the job (programming in my case) than you do in University. How do I know? I've been in both but decided to drop out of college after some complications (the drop out % of my class was above 50% so it's nothing special over there) and went to trade school and got an internship 6 months after doing so. At least in trade school they're honest and tell you that they're only going to teach about the job, and thus don't waste extra 2 years on fluff majority of people aren't going to use.
The ideological capture of the tertiary education by Western Marxists is also a major factor as to why we see these results, university students in Mainland China also seem to be more aligned with Western Marxists than with Chinese Marxists. I am genuinely curious if we see the same levels of indoctrination in countries where the universities aren't captured institutions.
@@rampage241 I went to two universities in the West and we just focused on the subject matter, so I'm not really sure what either of you are getting at here.
I wouldnt only blame humanities.... I see many examples of IT being that kind of cushy job and please remember, either some ceo or executive was programmer 20 years ago or is plain businessman MBA type to begin with, but still enjoy that much higher salary level of that industry than being say cleaning company CEO despite doing very similar tasks. Then these companies many cases live off public acquisitions which constantly seem to fail nowadays but cost millions or even billions euros (Birmingham case from UK if I remember correctly) and then basic services of city fail. There is clearly corruption in city council level to favor certain companies or even shoehorn these projects to benefit company (eg teachers dont want tablets and computers in every class but higher ups rush it through). Someone from different industry branches could tell other stories... we all have heard how german autoindustry managed to pump billions of EU,german national level + city,regional level subsidy money before EVs became threat to them. Im suggesting companies also have public side bureaucracy which over time tends to do same everywhere, bump salaries and grow their numbers. (Read long ago some big canadian engineering company had these shady public taxpayer connections but cant remember any details anymore.... but curiously all big construction projects tend to always pass budgets over +100% enourmous scale).
It is an absolute ABSURD to say that Orban or Trump are hated because "they are not educated" or that they "support the common folk". I like this channel videos, but this one is just straight up stupid.
Both trump and biden are results of a rotten political system, where the events taking place behind scenes in the white house are controlled by those who careers last longer than all possible presidential terms, and can thus project outreached power across the various federal branches of the government. They have the power to make plans that undermine the people's will, the senate and house of reps favor, and president's policy. The balance of power is broken, look at the Snowden leaks.
In Romania, is almost the same as other european countries. In european parlament election, 17% of the votes were given to the far-right AUR party; 14% in romania and 25% in diaspora. What you said about eastern european countries when it comes to voting preferences really resonates with me and my countrymen. Great video by the way as an gen z!
Not sure how well this applies. From what I've seen, there are rather few young people that vote for AUR, the collage educated would vote USR/REPER while those who are not would vote PNL/PSD. The bulk of AUR's support seems to come from somewhat rural, fairly old people. Just more of an anecdotal estimation, I haven't been able to get concrete stats for this
I disagree that uneducated people vote PNL. I have a phd, my parents are very well educated and surrounded by people of similar education level and we all vote PNL. Despite people bitching about it, Johannis was a great president
Being a Russian, it bears for me a remarkable similarity to the view of some part of our westernised nobility towards the commoners - serfs - as some sort of brutes who deserve living in poverty. I think it was mentioned in "Fathers and Sons" (the novel by Ivan Turgenev), although I might be wrong about specifics, that a noble once said that "a peasant would die out of exhaustion if he was to perform the same mental labour as me, just like the noble would die from the physical work in the field". Now, it's pretty obvious that if you haven't dedicated a significant portion of your life to mental work, diving into that would be harder but the condescending attitude... In regards to the policies enacted by the "educated left", we also have proverbs like "the intelligence has gone beyond the common sense" (ум за разум зашел). Pretty fitting.
The problem in the West is an increasingly isolated part of society that is left behind by the modern wealth generating industries that fuel growth. Serfdom in Russia was just a way for the elites to exploit the general population. So basically not similar at all.
College in america is the leading cause of Life long money struggle. The irony is not missed in the US. Indebt, low pay due to too many degrees is a massive issue.
Modern education: Pay a fortune to get indoctrinated into destroying yourself and everything around you; all the while afterwards drowning in usurious debt.
I absolutely despise talking politics with my fellow uni graduates. They often vote liberal, elitist and have absolutely no feel for what is appropriate ethics wise. In contrast, craftsmen are down to earth and have a true feeling for right and wrong.
I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, but I still have my Conservatives values and beliefs in tact. Good upbringing, church, and a Christian college really helps with that. I'm technically part of the elite colege stidents I guess, but I hate what they largely stand for.
Here in The Philippines, our democracy is akin to hereditary feudalism, it is not clean monarchical but rather similar to the Holy Roman Empire, local officials hold on to their fiefs and their position as hereditary titles like the Dukes and Counts of old and once a family is deposed, there is no coming back to power most of the time. People sell their votes for money and entertainment like the bread and circus of Rome, the people are literate and educated but not smart, the mean IQ is low and that makes them easily manipulated by the nobles, the people accept their serfdom and the educated anti elites are just treated similar to the brigands of old, we even have a little crusade or Reconquista of our own with our wars with the Muslims in our south. Oh and the people are lazy and decadent even if they are poor just like in the West and how it was in the late Roman Empire.

Whenever you mention Emmanuel Todd I remember the Philomena Cunk videos where in every episode she makes a tenuous link to the 1989 Belgian Techno anthem Pump Up the Jam by Technotronic.
What's the worst is the uniformity of thinking among the elites. No matter which sector: state bureaucracy, corporations, media, education they are all the same. There is little debate left on top. Only a moral crusade.
I teach English as a secondary language in a highschool in Bulgaria and have to point out that all the texts in the textbooks are always centered around liberal talking points. There is a lot of climate change and pollution with the information not always accurately portrayed. There are many texts introducing foreign(non English speaking) cultures, tribes and traditions. There is a lot of multiculturalism, anti racism, feminism etc. in the junior's and senior's textbooks as well. There is the old tired food pyramid that tries to convince kids the staple of their diet should be bread pasta rice while telling them meat and animal products, while good source of protein, are potentially dangerous. While some of the talking points are valid and beneficial there is a distinct lack of any conservative ones whatsoever. English textbooks in my country mainly come from England and suggest exclusively liberal direction of the education system in Western Europe, which might be qnother explanation for the phenomenon that you're describing. I do think Orban is absolutely abysmal and dislke Trump and dread what he might do with NATO and the war in Ukraine, but in the latter case the other side have utterly failed to produce a viable alternative.
So from what I gather: 'Elitists' tend to consider themselves superior for being able to obtain (increasingly meaningless) university degrees amd feel held back by their less educated compatriots, while 'Populists' tend to believe that they have a birthright to reap the benefits of a country their previous generations built despite lacking the skills to meaningfully contribute to said country in the current economic model and also considering immigrant jobs to be beneath them. Honestly, I find it very difficult to sympathise with either. Both sides seem entitled and with major superiority complexes. It's ridiculous and horrifying that both sides have taken over the entire left vs. right debate and allowed politicians (of both sides) to ignore policies of substance and profit at the expense of the people that elected them.
History is supposed to be a great unending paradox. If it wasn't our culture and the world at large would fossilize. That's why you see factions (in this case educated vs uneducated) with perspectives that are somewhat reasonable but still detached from the big picture.
No. The question for the Emerging Intellectual Right is SHOULD it break its ties with the "less successful, less productive parts of the society" in favor of "the high echelons of the society." In the short term that realignment appears rational, yes. However, the High Echelons are not breeding, whereas The Less Successful ARE breeding. The medium and long term belongs to those who show up, and the High Echelons are amusing themselves to extinction.
I agree with you that that is the trend, but it's not guaranteed to happen. The elites control education, media and other important institutions and they can simply indoctrinate the children of the rational classes. We need a robust response to this.
The intellectual class may not be having children. But they are VERY good at converting children. They control all of the informational institutions and have a near monopoly on force through control of technologically advanced militaries. The poor and uneducated do not have the strength to resist physically or intellectually. I can see a semi stable system where the elite constantly refresh themselves with new blood from the younger generation of the greater populous. Although it does seem a bit precarious to be reliant on a constantly resentful underclass to refill your ranks, I don’t see a mechanism by which that underclass would be able to successfully rebel.
The educated classes have always been more cosmopolitan in outlook than their less educated ethnic brethren. The reason is simple: as a rule, the former have been exposed to a wider range of ideas and likely have had the opportunity to travel more widely. If you have had genuine experiences of different cultures, it is difficult to remain a "ciemnogród" (Polish word referring to a conservative person who prefers to remain isolated from outside influence).
While true to an extent, this is insufficient to explain why those "educated classes" have chosen to create a new culture of globalism, one that turns a blind eye entirely to the issues this new culture causes; and is so heavy handed in its insistance that it is the only acceptable culture, that all other cultures should be sublimated, by any means nessary.
@@jgomo3877 It is about ambition and technological power. As technology has enabled ever increasing control on a global scale, those seeking power will naturally adopt a globalist ethos. The two go hand in hand: being a globalist at heart and seeking power reinforce each other. But not all globalists are "heavy-handed" - though the loudest ones tend to be. I myself am a "cosmopolitan" in the sense that I do not have a strong cultural identity, have lived in different places with different ways of doing things, and have adopted aspects of different cultures in my world view. I respect the uniqueness of each culture, but at the same time feel that global cooperation is the best way forward for humanity. So you can call me a "moderate globalist". For example, I strongly believe that immigrants should respect the local cultures of countries they move to, but "assimilation" should be a personal choice, and will not be possible for most of them (for their children it is possible). This puts me in opposition to "the woke mob" or whatever you want to call it. But it also keeps me very far from the populists who attempt to, often cynically, harness native resentment to newcomers for their political goals.
@@blueodumyou want to keep the trees but want to have the paper. That is not how it works thought. You cannot like and want to preserve the culture of a place and at the same time want to stuff it with a bunch of foreigners that don't want to integrate. What you want simple can't exist. You want a complete homogenized world were everyone is the same, eats the same food, listens to the same music, speaks and talks the same. This creates a super culture that consumes all the rest while destroying social cohesion and local identity. You can have cultural difference and cooperate on the international level. Why you feel the need of killing different ways of life in order to establish cooperation? Can't cooperation exist with differences? The only thing that globalism achieves is the degrading of the human spirit, it's will to live in a community and gives insane power to bureaucracts, globalist economic powers and foreigners. I struggle to find any positive of globalism that can't be achieved with other means. Or how globalism with all it's problems is till having support from people
@@blueodum Agreed, it is about ambition, and technology does enable a much tighter degree of control over society. You identify yourself as cosmopolitan; you take elements of culture from civilizations and cultures from around the world; this is the essence of how culture naturally works. Global co-operation is indeed of great benefit; indeed many industries would not be able to function without it; so long as that co-operation is voluntary and not coercive; as it tends toward in the modern day. The issue is; power lies with those who have chosen to propagate a certain culture by any means necessary for their sole benefit, and think nothing of destroying and persecuting any who think and feel differently. The ultimate goal is the destruction of any unique traits of cultures around the world. In the case of immigrants; the vast majority of people feel the same way; they are welcoming of outsiders who respect their host culture; the issue is across the west large enclaves have formed that hold their host cultures with nothing but contempt; and yet even speaking of this attracts accusations of "fascist", and other such -ists; from all corners of established society, and especially the elite, leading to a situation where all conversation is stifled. The issues continue to fester, and those who are treated with contempt begin to become disillusioned, and eventually become more extreme by necessity having their issues addressed. A dangerous and self fulfilling eventuality. I don't believe there are "moderate" globalists expect in moral theory. it is an idiology which seeks a singular global order. The "native" people have a right to have their voices heard and their democratic wishes fulfilled. Successive governments across the west have won elections for the last 30 years on the basis of lower immigration, and yet it has only ever increased. In many Western countries it has been the number one concern, for decades and yet it is never lowered, never addressed, except to attack and trivialise concerns and consequences. Increasing support for what is seemed "populism"; a term displaying contempt of the elite for the plebs; is an obvious consequence when no alternatives are given to an idiology forced on the population against their democratic will.
That's crap.. they're open to more brainwashing, feeling themselves removed from their tradition and culture ,that they shed with their new identity, being a so called education. In truth the educational program was nothing more than a process of uniformity
I agree that Democrats are attacking Trump judicially, but that doesn't mean he's innocent. Our goal should be to bring all the crimes of politicians to justice. We should not excuse them with a "double standard". What I really hate is the phrase: "Let the voters decide". No, voters do not decide guilt or innocence.
@@alexanderryan1176 Then let's cancel the police, courts and laws. By the way. I have never been ungusting secret documents, for example ;-). Finally, we should have the highest standards in politicians in the highest places.
Undoubtedly he's guilty of some unpalatable things. That said, it's not a question of guilt or innocence, it's a question of "will they apply the same standard to themselves?" to which the answer is inescapably no. We can have justice, we can have anarchy, but to have targeted "justice" is the worst of both worlds.
As someone who has a college degree, I am always skeptical when interviewing/hiring people with college degrees. It isn't just neutral, it is a negative on their resume.
I partially agree with your analysis. I think the greater problem is lack of democratic capacity on both sides. The liberal in liberal democracy does not stand for leftists values, but for consideration of the other side and their rights. Hence as soon as one party gets majority they ought not to infringe on fundamental rights of the other side (no matter if right or left is in power). Political populists are the ones driven to saw divides in the socienty and benefits from such rifts, hence demaging fundation of democratic and liberal society. University educated elitists pushing bonkers ideas are just byproducts of such divides in my opinion...
That image is nowhere near the time stamp and the quote... It's at 1:04 and the quote is "in which oligarchy may replace democracy" As that's what happened in ancient Greece.
@@tomasvrabec1845 The image appears only 20 seconds later and my point was that highly educated people believing they're superior is nothing new as Greek philosophers are known for their modesty, humbleness and lack of arrogance.
16:04 I now remember why I was so alt right back in the day. Slogans like smash racism, smash capitalism, punch nazis, smash patriarchy made feel kinda bad, because I could come up with reasons why all of those things are a good idea. Today I feel strongly that racism is bad, capitalism has huge issues such as inequality and other injustices, the nazis do not share my values and I really dislike mine kampf and is often terrible propaganda reminds me of boomer anti communism (of course most of it is irrelevant today). I do believe in the patriarchy though. I also felt bad about anti russian misinformation people, because I was naive and they were saying only bots believe that nonsense ripping me of my humanity and dignity.
Really good video, It doesn’t however explain why and how those parties gain so many new voters from other backgrounds. I’d say that reason is a general feeling that we want to go back to the liberal 1990s-2000s, get out of this woke era, protect good old western values in the face of immigration and stand up to aggression and terror. You know, the way we used to live 20 years ago.
University used to be considered a quite conservative thing. Much of what you say in the video fits the current state of the world, but I dont think it was always that way nor does it necessarily have to be that way. That started to shift after the second world war, and really started picking up speed in the early 60's. The left had its long march through the institutions, it took over hiring and the bureaucratic side of education and then started steadily filtering out those didnt agree with them until now, the education system is so ridiculously far left, that conservatives actively filter themselves by not bothering to even try to attend/work within it. And now with the final stage of credentialism, they've locked out everybody that hasnt been subjected to 4+ years of indoctrination from taking part in this information economy. Its not that the world view precludes them, its just the system that they took over and are using as a weapon against their political/ideological opponents.
4:20 wait a minute, being a felon in no way disqualifies you from running for president or being president specifically to prevent the courts from interfering with politics. The felony convictions are barely an inconvenience for Trump
We are your doctor, engineer (I am an engineering student myself), your billionaire (if you go now to the Bloomberg list, you will see educated people with degrees or Ivy League dropouts), the person who is a millionaire (88% of millionaires have a degree), and we create businesses so people can work. We make countries great and we will leave any country to be eaten alive if they don't support our views because we believe we know the world better. We are a bunch of crazy people who only go after shiny things and need us to correct them like babies (we do everything). The world won the war against the Nazis because German scientists helped the USA build the nuclear boom first instead of giving it to the Nazis years ahead. German people needed to be defeated, and if you celebrate that and see we beat the Nazis, just know that educated people who make guns, propaganda, and tactics beat the Nazis; normal people are replaceable, but I'm not. My life costs more, so my ideas should also be more important. There is no 'we' other than what educated people say to themselves. The golden age of Islam was ruled by educated people who went against norms to draw, ask about God's existence, and study dead bodies. After that, people who are led by imams convinced the sultan to stop them. Now, mostly they are nothing, and their educated people come to the West, which also happened in China and other countries. The West was only successful by leaving the church, and now national Christianity wants to destroy it. Just like every time, us educated people will move as one block (Muslim, Christian, and whatever belief someone may have) to our next location to start our rise again and leave the national uneducated person to his stupid god that will show him social justice, how to run the economy with no educated people, how to even get enough money, education, and healthcare, and where to work. While we go to our new place to build the next global center because we can, unlike normal people, and also we did build everything and can build more. So, it's our way or the highway, and I'm leaving this hellhole like many of my friends if Afd wins the next election. For all those reason we will see only what we want because we want the best for everyone , from social justice , freedom , equality , human rights , environment and peace , with us Europe and the west stop eating itself and with us the world will be peaceful again , if you want a civilisation , a strong empire or to be the next world center , you need educated people . Even though each time uneducated people stop us , we get a little bit stronger and more more advance , we are ready to do that until we have total control , thankfully the next population crisis is our best chance since poor uneducated people will ask for a leader that will help them escape poverty and we should be there to be that leader , we just should ban tiktok , start educated next generation more and taxing the church/remove any mentions of god in schools and teach all religion equally which will prepare an elite that is ready to fight those religious people and control them. As a human that is my duty to help lead the world to a better place for everyone well being
Great video. My thoughts. I do think as a society we need a lot of people who are higher educated however I feel in the US we have breached that quota and then some. Most jobs do not require 4 year college degrees and would be better severed by a trade school or apprenticeship. Most the people with higher education never use said education and simply settle into a job they could have done without it. Id also be remiss if I did not state that everything you can learn in college is available online and college education is not the only way for a person to become educated. The college class have pushed college degrees as a form of elitism and credentialism assuming that its impossible for someone to learn the same information independent from the college system. Americans have been told for my entire life "go to college or you will never be successful" but I really feel that just isn't true and is propaganda pushed by those who stand to profit from an abundance of college education. Namely the state and the colleges themselves. Id like to push back that populist places are the poorest. At least in America that is not true. You can find plenty of examples of run down or destitute places in cities counties and states that have had left leaning leaders for decades. Rural does not = poor. You can also find examples of places that are primarily ran by the right that have thriving economies. Maybe the populists=poor is true on a global scale but I certainly do not feel like it fits a description of America.
10:55 Not 100% accuracy. In India, all the typical accusations faced by populist RW leaders are heaped on Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP yet their supporters tend to be more educated and urban than average.
That is because the Modi/the BJP appeal is to nationalism which India and many developing countries in Africa are yet to attain unlike in the developed west before WWII. Remember a lot of those countries were colonized, borders drawn for them by foreigners & their history erased so they are still projects to the natives who got “independence” irrespective of one’s education. Even the very concept of education in developing countries was made for them by their colonizers. And it’s in the interest of the developed west to keep those countries divided along sectorial, tribal, religious lines because it’s easier to exploit them that way for cheap labour & immigrants. They control the media which will label Modi/BJP “right wing” because a strong India or any other developing country is a hindrance to the food chain that the developed west created for itself
@@EmmaKing30 I think we have to make a distinction here, the nationalist appeal that the BJP promotes is not just any kind of nationalism. It's "Hindu nationalism," which attracts a certain strata of Indian society - those who want India to be ruled by the traditional laws of Hinduism. A party among them even supports the idea of India annexing the supposedly "breakaway states" from the "undivided India,” such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, and more. That's how radical it gets. The idea of a sovereign Hindu state has always been popular among certain sections of Hindu society, even before independence. However, only recently has it begun to manifest into reality.
This is far from true. The right is still committed to the oligarchs, as it’s philosophical underpinnings favor hierarchy and social Darwinism. Populist rhetoric has been advantageous lately, that is true. However, kingmakers in the GOP remain. Peter Thiel has been proving to be immensely influential, and his vision for the future is nothing if not elitist.

In the US education is often more a measure of gender... because of funding federally.
The problem is in the political ignorance among the masses(even college educated ones). Just make people be able to vote only after they pass a test that checks their historical, political, philosophical and economical knowledge along with a small ceremonial payment and you will see how most traditional political parties would just disappear and be replaced
Политические системы строятся на взаимных уступках (Бедные не будут работать если им не платить. Они не рабы). Если ваша политическая система это просто свод указаний о том, как одним жить и поступать в отношении варваров, вы будете разгромлены этими самыми варварами или рабами. На данном этапе развития общества физическое насилие в отношении других людей всё ещё является существенным аргументом. Предложите что-нибудь другое помимо имущественного или образовательного ценза.
@@timeeternal5756 monarchy is very unreliable and counter productive. Rule by the educated elite(new aristocracy) with political pluralism is the best choice
Who thinks there should be mandatory IQ , EQ, and drug tests for statesman and voters? How about also being able to recite parts of the Constitution as well and answering American history correctly?
Политические деятели это лишь ширма для больших корпораций и кланов. Даже маленьким коллективом из нескольких человек, вы способны строить деревянные дома. Увеличив это число людей до размера завода, вы способны обеспечивать потребности всей вашей страны в широком классе товаров. Потребности же одного человека неизмеримо низки в сравнении с ними. Так, что ключевым вопросом вашей страны является, не политики с их дурацкими законами, а стабильность государства. Свобода от бунтов голодающих. То есть ваш достаток.
Someone in the comments proposed a "rite of passage" for voters. I think the politicians and the voters have to be tested, so that no obviously insane or ignorants can drive all others to an abyss
there should be minimum requirements, No Green card spouse, No multi national - ie one passport 2 children minimum, to married spouse. no littering society with bastards to count. 1 year service in NHS, Police, Army, forestry. Max age of 60 years. Start with those and see if the calibre of minister improves. It should as they have a stake in the nation, no escape and are consigning their children to the choices they make.
the logical conclusions of such elitism end up being horrifying for the majority of the populace. if there's mandatory IQ tests for people in power and voters, why not mandatory IQ tests for potential fathers and mothers? why not mandatory IQ tests for anyone that wants to operate a car, motorcycle or even bicycle? if we embrace such elitism, terrible violations of freedom will logically occur soon after for everyone not part of what is arbitrarily considered "good quality" by those in power. it's a very dangerous concept.
I do have issues with this portrayal, but I'll leave those aside right now. If we want to make a comparison to ancient oligarchy and similar, then I think one very notable difference to history is the informal nature of the divide. Whether we talk of Athenian social classes or feudal hierarchies, classes and their relationships to one another were very much formalised, and we also see the legacy of such formalism in the United Kingdom with the House of Lords and the House of Commons. I do not suggest that the rigid, hereditary classes of old were a good thing, that people can choose their professions and succeed on their merits is entirely positive, but the past did recognise that there were categorically different kinds of people who each had their own place in the functioning of society which should be respected. Take migration and the "anywheres". In the 1800s border controls practically did not exist and any educated well off noble, businessman or academic could with relative ease travel from one country to another, spend an indefinite amount of time there, and would seamlessly find themselves at home in like minded social circles, communicating with people in probably French, German or English. To close borders, limit trade and hamper migration is to cut these peoples wings, their internationalism is at least as much a part of their roots, their identity, who they are as a "somewhere's" region or language. In the past many cities differed entirely in their culture and even ethnic makeup from the surrounding country and they were also governed under an very different system from the surrounding country. Especially of an aristocrat it is fascinating to hear them recount their family history where one ancestor took part in the governing of Russia, another had fled the Revolution from Flanders, or a cousin had been a beloved socialite in Paris. A world of "blood and soil" is downright cruel to such a person. At the same time it's fair to recognise the vast majority of people never migrated very far from where they were born. Even today I would say lower and upper class migration are categorically different phenomena and treated very differently by people of all classes. Currently countries or nations are seen as more or less singular cohesive entities with a more or less "one size fits all" solution, where all regions have essentially the same kind of law and governance, and all people have the exact same rights and duties. This seems to lead to fighting tooth and nail for that one country for fear of it being taken away. In reality though whether it is through one system or an old school divide into provinces and free cities, patricians and peasantry, lords and commons, in some way any harmonious solution will have to accommodate both kinds of people and their lifestyles.
Nope, Democracy allows all kinds of ideas to propagate. Like how in the recent general election of India, a separatist Amrit Pal Singh won in Khadoor Sahib, Punjab and another separatist named Sheikh Abdul Rashid won in Baramulla, India-Occupied Kashmir. Democracy just reinforces the ideas that the majority of people already have.
@@Moonuuu This is nothing but a clear example of "Demographics being destiny." Since democracy is about majoritarianism and demographics, it will favor any group of people who are willing to reinforce their ideas by any means.
5:04 Bro, it did. The law proposed making judicial rulings being able to be throw out with a simple Parliamentary Majority. That law basically makes any government with a majority immune to prosecution, defacto making corruption legal. That is why they proposed the law in the first place, Netanyahu was caught paying bribes and he wanted to get out of being prosecuted for it.

In Poland you are forgeting Konfederacja. Its conservetive-liberal (by modern western standards threthning democracy facist) party that is suported by 30% of voters under 29 years and over 25% of under 35 years of age. Its frist and second score in polls in their age boxes. Also voters of Konfederacja tending of have secondary and university education. On the other way older and less educated right wing electorat vote PiS.
KO is a catch all, it's meaningless as the views of the component parties are too varied and can be opposed on many topics. PiS lost votes not to KO, but to the other right wing party. Poland is still very much right wing among the young people ,as well ( even more so, I would say). KO exists solely to Donald tusk and his political flair. Most recent election were, in a sense, a failure or KO, even though they "won" by under 1% their 20 seats will be split amongst various European parties while PiS will go to a single party. I truly think tusk expected at least 10 % difference
I am not as paranoid about Konfederacja as my fellow sceptics of theirs, but we have to remember Mentzen openly hates democracy and would rather see a dictatorship or absolute monarchy, so yeah...
Automation is a product of labor shortage. In fact, automation is a sign of a wealthy working class. When its cheaper to research, develop, and manufacture robots than to simply hire a man; thats a sign that the wages are quite high in society.
or the inexpensiveness of computers. its cheaper to put touch screens in cars than to machine plastic buttons. this is why you see 'better' tech in cars that is actually harder to use while you are operating a vehicle. changing the temp in my crappy ford, twist a knob. takes 0.5 seconds. Change temp in top tesla, Click 3 menus and dial down a slider, takes 3 seconds. sounds small but 30 MPH = 13.5 metres per second. that's 30 metres ahead that someone could step out and you not notice cos your playing with your aircon.
Disagree. Automation and labour are directly and proportional related, however high wages leading to automation is extremely reductive. Automation would still happen even if wages were below the ability for people to survive; the push for automation is as much about the ability for control of industries and society as it is economics. Morality, idiology, and aspiration are key elements also.
Automation is just superior to human workers in terms of precision and speed .. sometimes it's impossible to achieve high quality products without automation.. More automation is not necessarily the result of overpaid workers..
If you think about the American Civil the North was automating a lot of work while the South was dependent on cheap labor. Post civil war the South started getting industrialized. Today countries like Japan that have low unskilled immigration are more automated than places like the United States that can depend on immigrants for cheap labor but ironically the states that are raising minimum wage are the ones that are forced to automate. If California gets a $25 minimum wage McDonald's will just automate its cashiers and cooks with AI robotics such as Flippy.
Keep college expensive, it partially drives away young women from Far-left indoctrination, let the remaining public education slowly be taken over by conservatives, like what happened in new college of Florida
It’s easier to be brainwashed when you rely primarily on RUclips and Kick to inform your political opinions. The seed of critical thinking is best planted in formal schooling, as there is a disincentive to do it anywhere else. RUclipsrs want to keep their audience, and so do media outlets. An uncritical audience is easier to profit from.
The highly opinonated parts negative towards college education was hard to watch, but the more factual statistics insights and description of growing divide between college educated vs uneducated or rural vs urban was very interesting.

This is why I believe a charter that names and guards the rights of man is what matters the most, not whether the society is a kingdom or republic, democracy or aristocracy, progressive or conservative
It was inevitable, if you start analyzing real-world data. For some reason "global warming" (or COVID) terrifies the most well educated (well, at least they used to), while the coming population/societal collapse coupled with the rise of totalitarian "western democracies" seems to completely avoid any interest. Mattias Desmet also has a good explanation for possible causes.
@@janvanhoyk8375 Also inevitable, as there will be more and more "people like" me ;) And if your not careful, you will be too (and I give you much credit for at least watching these videos - understanding the current situation is the first step).
@@geoffhartI moved in the opposite direction with time. It’s by no means infallible. People are frustrated with our current political system, so it’s cathartic to wave off democracy altogether. It is also easy to find instances throughout history that reinforce this catharsis, but it depends upon ignoring the nuggets of contradiction sprinkled here and there. The problems we are facing right now are endemic to virtually every political system. Every political system is prone to exploitation. Even the most ostensibly egalitarian political systems have found themselves rapidly corrupted by the same leadership issues and corruption that comes with the advancement of smooth-talking psychopaths into positions of power. It’s one of the most pressing issues humanity faces.
I clearly remember myself saying, when I was 20 and a university student: Regarding voter turnout: it is better for the uneducated to stay at home rather than vote for the wrong party. And I considered myself strongly pro democracy. Your video is spot on
Before watching: This is either mild clickbait through omission or bro is breaking his cooking streak Edit1: So yeah, bait. The title should be something like "The current tertiary education establishment has undemocratic tendencies", but I get that wouldn't get clicks. Another minor criticism is KB is often way too apologetic about certain aspects of the "populist right", even though he admits they are guilty of some things. The Establishment Anywheres do abuse the rule of law accusations, but they do have solid roots in reality. Might edit more in later, too.
Your video reminded me of a common pattern of how foreigners perceive education in Canada/USA. A lot of people outside North America think that our educational system are inferior institutions that create inferior quality people who are not ready to do anything productive as adults. While that is true, I find it to be outright wrong at the same time. America itself (not counting international students and immigrants) still produces highly skilled scientists and engineers that turn out valuable R&D or startup projects that other countries like China cannot compete with. Then if you look into the community college institutes and American history (I.e.: the Dodge brothers), you find a “grey zone” where some of the best Americans combine theory & hands on ability into their profession. Too many people have forgotten what “unapologetic meritocracy” really means….
- Nowadays, there's ALMOST (and INCREASINGLY SO) nothing of any kind - (fundamental) science, applied R&D, and startups included (whether those startups are fully private or semi-private state-sponsored organizations) that China could not does not actually produce, or isn't preparing and planning to start making/doing in the near future. It might work differently in terms of financing and bureaucracy, but it does work, overall. - There seems to be a tendency to overrate startups a bit. Plus, (so-called "tech" startups) are often quite gimmicky, overpromising and underdelivering. - It is not completely without reasons that many foreigners think that, in the last 1-2 decades, much of USA's/Canada's economy/industry/making-of-anything has been increasingly leaning towards producing gimmicky outputs, which are much less innovative than they claim to be, and which are much less useful or beneficial to the world as a whole (to the human species, environment, etc ) than advertised (the advertising/persuasion part is still second to none, hats off about that!), and which often tend to exploit (in a negative way) human psychological and cognitive weaknesses rather than help overcome those (a prime example - "social" networks, the big global ones). - Startups or not... Intel having huge troubles expanding much needed chip manufacturing capacity on US soil; having to rely so much on Taiwan (TSMC and co.), China, South Korea, plus now Vietnam and India, for making electonics happen... Intel laying off en masse... Not so great, not so innovative. - BTW, what percentage of software engineers/architects, developers/programmers, and electronics/electrical engineers staffing the big corporations (FAANG, Oracle, IBM, and co.), or startups, or Tesla and SpaceX, or the body of professors in universities themselves! - are truly "America itself (not counting international students who graduated in US universities, (+ postdoctoral researchers, + visiting professors, etc.)" ? And similarly about the medical, pharma, biosciences professions (both R&D and applied)? -- In other words, what percentage of the highly-skilled, highly innovative professionals are at least 2nd-generation US/Canadian citizens? What about 3rd-generation ones? Any meaningful changes in the percentage compared to 2-3 decades ago? To 6-7 decades ago? - How is it that startup-rich and very experienced in the nuclear and power generation areas USA is actually/physically (as opposed to projects on paper) designing AND building practically NO nuclear reactors these days (for close to maybe 2 decades now), except for what, a pair of two of AP1000s at Vogtle, which barely happened? All this while said China has been designing and building and operating dozens of PWRs, with some PHWRs sprinkled for variety, on a routine basis? Plus making strides and testing prototypes of HTGRs, molten sodium/lead-cooled (fast or semi-fast neutron) reactors, pebble-bed reactors, fusion reactors of multiple designs... It's a quickly growing list. All this considering the USA was the undisputed pioneer in nuclear R&D AND in nuclear manufacturing (and safety, and plant output, and and and)? PWRs, BWRs, LFTRs, decades ago... What today? - If the answer to "What today?" is "wind and solar", which isn't a bad answer at all, then, uhm, turns out China (and Europe) are conducting research in those no less if not even more than the USA+Canada, and have fielded more generation capacity of current+previous generations of these technologies. Not to mention that China is the undisputed king in large-scale manufacturing of solar PV, and more or less on parity when it comes to wind turbines (Europe probably still has a moderate technological and quality/reliability lead in onshore wind, and more significant lead in offshore wind, for the moment, but the gaps are shrinking gradually). - Of course there are smart and dedicated and well-meaning persons with bright minds in all nations, countries, and continents, everywhere, and of all ethnicities. I'm not saying they are THAT few jn today's USA/Canada. What I'm saying (as a foreigner) is just that: - They are fewer than they used to be a few decades ago (or, at least, they are seen and heard (of) far less, which would be hard to explain by a sudden surge in modesty, or by hiding achievements and ideas, or by lack of advertising/boasting/popularization activities...). - There is far less of anything so unique, appealing, or enticing about the USA/Canada - at least in the eyes of the several billion people outside the USA/Canada. The cool factor is nowhere what it used to be. - And that is, in my opinion, a very sad development, because the USA/Canada TRULY WERE the uncontested leader in ALL of {democracy and human rights, general personal freedoms, entrepreneurship, scientific progress, technological innovations in practically all spheres, standard of living of the average citizen, industrial output as measured in real physical quantities and not just inflated fuat currency, successful and meaningful integration of massive numbers of immigrants while preserving (much of) their vibrant identities and cultural heritage, ... the list goes on and on ...). But times have changed. NO LONGER an undisputed leader, no longer a beacon of hope. The list of failing (and then failed) once-great states/societies/nations is always open to new candidates, big or small, glorious or not at all. (Saying this as someone coming from a trying-so-hard-to-be-a-member-of-this-list country/nation, ironically one of the oldest countries/nations in Europe, and one which has preserved its name and language all that time, but is now marching towards demographic oblivion and intellectual degradation as a whole/of the average citizen -- despite the (still) relatively high proportion of well-educated and bright people who are using their brains actively).
So STILL is indeed a key word, with a far from optimistic aftertaste. When it comes to tertiary education being able (or unable) to "produce" adults who are able and likely to be productive and useful, what comes to mind is the hyperproliferation of all kinds of "studies" (can't call those things proper scientific disciplines, maybe with a few rare exceptions), such as, for example, "gender studies". Plus the tons of managerial majors, adding to the massive armies of economics and law majors/graduates - which hardly contribute(d) to a better economy (overall, except for the persons teaching those, and except for a limited percentage of the persons studying those), or to a broader or more just rule of law, respectively.

I'm English and live in Hungary, married a Hungarian 20+ years ago. My children go to school here. My daughter goes to Oxford next year - there are some excellent schools here but there teachers are not treated well. Hungary is insular and oligarchic, but the people I meet are very kind and welcoming. The neo-Nazis and Communists still exist but in tiny numbers. The language is difficult but possible for basic things. You need to be fluent (C1) and know history (A level) to become s citizen, unless you have Hungarian blood. Food is there most expensive I've seen (out of UK, NL, DE). You can distill booze legally. Grass is treated like heroin but available everywhere. No gender weirdness! Hungary isn't an option for most. We open to leave again, as there is very little work and it is VERY badly paid. Look into The Slave Law. Clot shot was mandatory for medical staff, and employers could (can?) force it on staff. Generally philo-Semitic. No Islam, a big plus.

@@dehaman_4_144 Internal migration.
If you look at the states who vost the most for the leftist party, they're concentrated on the northeast, which is very poor and demographically exhausted since young smart people tend to migrate away to the southwest.
However, what happens there is that Brazil as a whole is a very pro-bureaucratic establishment country, to the point where college education turned into a ticket to bureaucratic employment and got insanely expanded with no real economic justification (kinda like china), so if you look at the economic output of states, the more productive ones tend to be right-wing, while the poorer are left-wing. Not to mention that the northeast used to be the political nexus of the country and got left behind across the inumerous political changes of the country, yet maintain a political presence through the state (you can see that happening in real time with rio de janeiro).
However, the political differences inside right-wing states (for a lack of a better word) are still close i.e. you don't get a 65% majority conservative state, because of the presence of the bureaucratic establishment nation-wide.
Most educated states are the welfiest ones, in wich very fell People receive gov. welfare, the poorest ones, that sometimes are constituted of almost 80% of welfare recipents, vote for the left, the avarage Joe in a rich state is not a college graduate, and votes right wing, but the minorety of college graduates in welth areas are leftists

13:25 It's weird how similar we view classes today as the Chinese did under Confucianism. Under Confucianism, merchants, construction workers, Etc. while often being relative wealthy were still seen as "lower class people" for being less educated. In reality, only government bureaucrats and regulators had any social prestige. Either you were a Mandarin or you were a nobody.
This sounds eerily similar to how the modern world works where the higher your degree the more you matter, in the Netherlands we also had this where the titles that came before your name matter more than the things you said. A Doctorandus' opinion was lower than that of a doctor. In imperial China (and similar societies like Vietnam and Korea) what a local magistrate said was deemed less important than a higher ranked Mandarin, who was also often addressed by his rank.
The centralised exam system we have today was literally introduced to the West by the Honourable East India Company through contact with China. I wonder if our current sociological developments were simply the results of adopting that system.
May i ask where the discussions take place where a Doctorandus' opinion matters less than a doctors? If they are in the respective field of study then I can understand that the latter holds more weight. But I have never heard anyone say "Oh that guy's is opinion on x is important because he has a degree in something completely unrelated"or something along these line. So i am kinda curious where such conversations take place.
Yeah, it’s very interesting how even a relatively pointless degree and a mediocre white collar office job earning ~50k is generally more prestigious than a blue collar worker who might earn double or even more than that.
@@matthewburrow3089 I think this has less to do with Confucianism. Taiwan is also under the influence, but people don't look down on small businessman (We have pretty bright small businesses environment for a long time). And more interestingly, owner of small business on average does not have higher educational degree than sarariman.
"Either you were a Mandarin or you were a nobody."
At least in Korea, people coming from farmer families could take the equivalent exam as the Mandarins had to pass in China and thus had a tiny chance of joining the elite but people from merchant families weren't allowed to do that.
There are many people with Masters Degrees and PHDs working low-paying minimum wage jobs.
Even in super equal nordic countries (that shun class) the canditate with lesser degrees or education is marked as inferior canditate to other who hold more prestigious titles. I find it quite internesting paradox. Democracy does not let in many people without elite status.
If an equal society working properly this should be the case. Prestige should be tied to ability (or general ability), and therefore in a perfectly functional society those with relevant prestigious degrees should be prioritised.
(I don't know how functional the nordics are)
@@jonahworledge111 Getting education degrees is not so much about abilities, but rather about priorities and interests. In a society with a huge competition for degrees and titles, a guy who plunges into that competition and manages to come on top by a narrow margin, is not necessarily the smartest. The guy who avoids getting into the rat race and tries to do something of his own makes actually a smarter move.

I may ad anecdotal experience to this:
1) The divite is mostly between talking professions and problem solving professions at least in the universities.
At least in our department [maths] its not a thing to talk about politics and if people do this they get ostracised for starting this. We also get some discussion about ...toilets and our parts was not really happy..... same for Finance/Busness.
2) Voting isnt a game about economics, but mostly about the underlying value structure [See Tennessee paradoxon]
3) Education != formal education
When I ask anyone about his "problem solving abilities" and the guy just talks about his knowlegde or deeper understaning; I know he's politically special. When I asked my friends, all of them told me their professions/projects/hobbies.
In my experience more "applied sciences" tend to have a quasi-apolitical culture and don't really discuss politics either at all or in depth. De facto these people overwhelmingly vote centre-right. They tend to value low income taxes, and are also often quite straightforward and arguably simplistic in their political thinking. Business students are the closest to them ideologically, even though they differ in other ways. Business students are much more ideologically committed centre-right supporters though and generally more concerned with making money. Once you move over to economics, the political spectrum becomes much more diverse, and this seems to be something of a middle ground, (other) social sciences then tend to become more left leaning.
Could you tell more about the Tennessee paradox? I am curious
@@viktator4205 Yes true. Also applied science and business students are more likely to be founders, CEOs, investors, etc. Or at least high-income professionals. So it makes sense that they prefer low taxes, free markets, etc. But they can also be socially liberal / libertarian, since they might have a diverse, multiethnic consumer base or might themselves be ethnically non-majority.

One of your best videos, well done. I’d add some points:
1. As young men realise they are losing from this system even “educated” young men are turning right/populist
2. In Australia and US, it’s very observable that domestic student enrolment is on decline especially for males. Trade jobs are now starting to have higher salaries than white collar uni grad jobs. Trade jobs not as at risk as shoe collar “cognitive” jobs.
3. Bureaucracy is becoming female dominated like other govt jobs such as teaching where guys no longer feel comfortable working there
4. I can see situation where female dominated bureaucracy regulating male dominated financially powerful male blue collar resurgent workforce
4 ad vocem: I think there will be rebellion of men against (political) woman and feminine way of governance.
On point 4: Back in the day there was a form of industrial action called "work to rule", in which workers did exactly what their job description said. The threat of it struck fear into the hearts of managers who had experienced it. Work to rule is the way forward.
That’s all quite black and white, certainly your prediction for the future. You may want to stay of the redpill stuff for just a bit. Although there does seem to be an interesting dynamic with men wanting to stand out, picking up activities that others won’t do, this somehow becoming the next cool thing, and women feeling excluded and wanting to partake, which makes it no longer” the cool man-defining” thing. It’s one force among many though, but there’s a bit of a cat and mouse game going on there.
Wrong video. This was all about Education. Go watch the video on population collapse.
@@mr-boothere's actually statistical evidence for men increasingly opting out of fields that experience an uptake in female participation. It's very real. It's not clear why but it's definitely happening. Teaching is perhaps the best example.
Anecdotally, meaning from my personal experience (typical white collar office bs job) it's always been much more difficult working with females than males. There's far more interpersonal conflict. Personally I shy away from both female bosses as well as female coworkers. It's simply a headache I don't need. Make of that what you want.
The populist right is not particularly right wing. The main thing driving its popularity is opposition to mass 3rd world immigration (often illegal) paradoxically of people who often hold extremely conservative views about how society should be run. It is incredibly ironic that young women, the very people put most at risk if this immigration continues unabated, are the biggest supporters of it. The greatest irony is Europe and America are being flooded with millions of illegal and often under educated immigrants every year but both make immigration for Europeans to America (and vice versa) incredibly time consuming and expensive. They have their priorities all wrong.
I disagree. At least, with the elites of the populist right. The rank and file populist right may not be particularly right wing beyond a few key issues, but the elites of the movement like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and the like are seeking to shoehorn in extremely regressive ideas, like eliminating income tax and restoring a feudal power structure to protect the status of the wealthy.
For instance, project 2025 is not populist. It’s dressed in the language of populism, but it’s anything but.
I really don’t understand why they make it so difficult for an American to immigrate to a European country or a European to immigrate to America. Yet they let millions of other unvetted people just walk into the countries!!
You are comparing pears to apples and only idiocy is your excuse. An illegal immigrant can arrive at anytime in any nation, but likewise he will lack rights and means to reach a good life.

in our day and age it becomes more and more apparent that a young adult with energy and working capacity is stuck for 3-4 years in a system that does not produce added value. 19 to 23 is prime human age and you are stuck learning often outdated concepts. I get that you need to do it ina structured manner, but why the constraints of time. You should be able to get all info in a year, if you want , or in 10
That's what I was pondering recently. Why does it have to be a 4 or 5 year degree. If we treat it as a job with an 8 hour workday you could accomplish it in a year at most. It's a colossal waste of time. Right now unless one is studying to be a medical doctor or something just as specific uni is completely pointless. And despite employers knowing it is pointless they still insist you have it along a number of other achievements which are the ones that actually make the difference like experience or some specialized certificate.
I disagree. Actually universities offer you a lot of useful material over those years. Information is valuable - knowledge is power. It's good that you're getting 4-5 years worth of intense learning.
If you need to make money urgently, fine, I can understand. Then don't go to university; there are plenty of jobs that pay well and only require brief education or even just experience - construction, childcare, school teaching, web design.
But if/when you can afford it, I think a degree can be a genuinely rewarding pursuit.
In the UK it's usually three years, 18-21, but must of the colleges and courses are very poor by all metrics
@@jaythefoxthe problem is not that the information itself is useless, but more so that despite the students learning tons of invaluable things they still cannot land a job since the knowledge itself doesn’t result in acquiring skills needed in the workforce. Some degrees do not suffer from this problem however others are knees deep in it. Even if you learn a myriad of things it will result in a net negative outcome if your degree doesn’t get you employed and you end up losing your life savings in the process.
@@taruemilia9335 Sure, if you need money then go get a job, I don't disagree with you there. Actually this was exactly what I did.

@@mr-boo No. They lack basic maths skills and other knowledge which is required and usually obtained via the local pendant to A-levels (since we usually don't have entrance exams). While I do think that they passed those A-levels tests on honest terms, they seem to have forgotten everything in that summer vacation between highschool and university. I did those same courses 10yrs prior, and the level of my then-cohorts was significantly higher. I was actually one of the lower performing students, even. I say introduce entrance exams across the boards (and screen the knowledge of exchange/foreign students). That would solve lots of the issues.
My problem with academics and "educated" people is that they are separate from reality and actual social forces. Their "solutions" lack cultural and social context. Sure, you can shut down all oil and nuclear plants, and try to replace them with solar panels... only to realize it was not enough so now you have to use coal, which is worse than the things you replaced. They live in a very theoretical world that is not very empathic to working people and the consequences of radical change. That is why they support mass migration and policy that hurts working people... until it also hurts them, which is why they got skeptic of migration when politicians started to import Indians to replace professionals.

The worst thing about this mass college education is that vast majority of those people don't learn anything useful or even challenging cognitively.

It's an oversimplification to say that the right is populist and the left is elitist. There's also populism on the left, and what you refer to as the left in this video, is at best center-left, but I'd say it's neoliberal center. Macron in France and Biden in the US is not what I would call left. They both get votes from people who are left, because the alternative in the latest elections were the far right. But from any socialists perspective, they are more to the right that to the left.
I live in Sweden, and in the last election, our right-wing populist party, the Sweden Democrats, just experienced the first election were they lost votes compared to the last election. One of the reasons for that is that it was recently revealed that they operate anonomous accounts on numerous social media platforms. Which undermines democracy. Another reason is that they are now part of the governing coalition, and it's not very popular. They've had to compromise away some of their populist positions to appease the traditional right-wing parties they cooperate with.
I consider myself a more traditional left-wing person. A socialist. I'm working class, but also quite well educated. But I would probably be called elitist by the populist right, and called populist by the elitist center.

Every political opinion is based on sentiment tho. You can find conservatives also make arguments based on sentiment all the time e.g. ask any conservative about immigration and they will tell u about their dislike for the new culture they bring

This is excellent. An important issue seems to be that the educated élite aren’t as all-knowing as they think they are. Even academics are too narrowly educated or too restrictedly ideological, in general. That causes a breach of trust.
Spot on. They talk about things they know nothing about. Angela Merkel has a physics degree yet she ran German immigration and economic policy. The result is nordstream (Russian blackmail) and massive social disturbance (immigration/right-wing backlash). There's ample examples like that. The credentialed class should humble themselves a little...
I think worst of all is that they don't deal with the fallout of their own policies (in terms of immigration in particular housing cost, crime and wage depression). They obv implement policies that benefit them (cheap labour, rising real estate values, securing their own often state financed jobs, a growing consumer base etc). Simple as that. It's actually a good strategy to simply vote against their interest, even if you know these policies are dogs****. You're actually helped simply by the fact that obstructing the so called elites will dampen and slow the negative effects on you. Simple. All you have to do is piss in their soup. Again, it's a perfectly reasonable strategy.
I'm from a trade school, I can tell you for almost fact that you learn more about the job (programming in my case) than you do in University.

At least in trade school they're honest and tell you that they're only going to teach about the job, and thus don't waste extra 2 years on fluff majority of people aren't going to use.

(Read long ago some big canadian engineering company had these shady public taxpayer connections but cant remember any details anymore.... but curiously all big construction projects tend to always pass budgets over +100% enourmous scale).
It is an absolute ABSURD to say that Orban or Trump are hated because "they are not educated" or that they "support the common folk". I like this channel videos, but this one is just straight up stupid.
Yeah this guy says some true things, but a lot of what this channel is about is hating the current left so much he falls right into absurdities
lol
They are hated because they side with populist agenda of the common population. If you don't understand this...
Trump has a degree from Wharton.
Orbán has a degree too, even spent time at Oxford on a scholarship
Both trump and biden are results of a rotten political system, where the events taking place behind scenes in the white house are controlled by those who careers last longer than all possible presidential terms, and can thus project outreached power across the various federal branches of the government. They have the power to make plans that undermine the people's will, the senate and house of reps favor, and president's policy. The balance of power is broken, look at the Snowden leaks.
In Romania, is almost the same as other european countries. In european parlament election, 17% of the votes were given to the far-right AUR party; 14% in romania and 25% in diaspora. What you said about eastern european countries when it comes to voting preferences really resonates with me and my countrymen. Great video by the way as an gen z!
Not sure how well this applies. From what I've seen, there are rather few young people that vote for AUR, the collage educated would vote USR/REPER while those who are not would vote PNL/PSD. The bulk of AUR's support seems to come from somewhat rural, fairly old people. Just more of an anecdotal estimation, I haven't been able to get concrete stats for this
I disagree that uneducated people vote PNL. I have a phd, my parents are very well educated and surrounded by people of similar education level and we all vote PNL. Despite people bitching about it, Johannis was a great president
Being a Russian, it bears for me a remarkable similarity to the view of some part of our westernised nobility towards the commoners - serfs - as some sort of brutes who deserve living in poverty. I think it was mentioned in "Fathers and Sons" (the novel by Ivan Turgenev), although I might be wrong about specifics, that a noble once said that "a peasant would die out of exhaustion if he was to perform the same mental labour as me, just like the noble would die from the physical work in the field". Now, it's pretty obvious that if you haven't dedicated a significant portion of your life to mental work, diving into that would be harder but the condescending attitude...
In regards to the policies enacted by the "educated left", we also have proverbs like "the intelligence has gone beyond the common sense" (ум за разум зашел). Pretty fitting.

The problem in the West is an increasingly isolated part of society that is left behind by the modern wealth generating industries that fuel growth. Serfdom in Russia was just a way for the elites to exploit the general population. So basically not similar at all.
College in america is the leading cause of Life long money struggle. The irony is not missed in the US. Indebt, low pay due to too many degrees is a massive issue.

I absolutely despise talking politics with my fellow uni graduates. They often vote liberal, elitist and have absolutely no feel for what is appropriate ethics wise. In contrast, craftsmen are down to earth and have a true feeling for right and wrong.
I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, but I still have my Conservatives values and beliefs in tact. Good upbringing, church, and a Christian college really helps with that. I'm technically part of the elite colege stidents I guess, but I hate what they largely stand for.

Always appreciate your videos and your perspective! One of my favorite channels, keep the great content coming!
Here in The Philippines, our democracy is akin to hereditary feudalism, it is not clean monarchical but rather similar to the Holy Roman Empire, local officials hold on to their fiefs and their position as hereditary titles like the Dukes and Counts of old and once a family is deposed, there is no coming back to power most of the time. People sell their votes for money and entertainment like the bread and circus of Rome, the people are literate and educated but not smart, the mean IQ is low and that makes them easily manipulated by the nobles, the people accept their serfdom and the educated anti elites are just treated similar to the brigands of old, we even have a little crusade or Reconquista of our own with our wars with the Muslims in our south. Oh and the people are lazy and decadent even if they are poor just like in the West and how it was in the late Roman Empire.

What's the worst is the uniformity of thinking among the elites. No matter which sector: state bureaucracy, corporations, media, education they are all the same. There is little debate left on top. Only a moral crusade.

I teach English as a secondary language in a highschool in Bulgaria and have to point out that all the texts in the textbooks are always centered around liberal talking points. There is a lot of climate change and pollution with the information not always accurately portrayed. There are many texts introducing foreign(non English speaking) cultures, tribes and traditions. There is a lot of multiculturalism, anti racism, feminism etc. in the junior's and senior's textbooks as well. There is the old tired food pyramid that tries to convince kids the staple of their diet should be bread pasta rice while telling them meat and animal products, while good source of protein, are potentially dangerous.
While some of the talking points are valid and beneficial there is a distinct lack of any conservative ones whatsoever.
English textbooks in my country mainly come from England and suggest exclusively liberal direction of the education system in Western Europe, which might be qnother explanation for the phenomenon that you're describing. I do think Orban is absolutely abysmal and dislke Trump and dread what he might do with NATO and the war in Ukraine, but in the latter case the other side have utterly failed to produce a viable alternative.
So from what I gather:
'Elitists' tend to consider themselves superior for being able to obtain (increasingly meaningless) university degrees amd feel held back by their less educated compatriots, while 'Populists' tend to believe that they have a birthright to reap the benefits of a country their previous generations built despite lacking the skills to meaningfully contribute to said country in the current economic model and also considering immigrant jobs to be beneath them.
Honestly, I find it very difficult to sympathise with either. Both sides seem entitled and with major superiority complexes. It's ridiculous and horrifying that both sides have taken over the entire left vs. right debate and allowed politicians (of both sides) to ignore policies of substance and profit at the expense of the people that elected them.
Most if not all populist politicians are elitists. It’s all a shadowy game between them for each side’s selfish interests.
History is supposed to be a great unending paradox. If it wasn't our culture and the world at large would fossilize.
That's why you see factions (in this case educated vs uneducated) with perspectives that are somewhat reasonable but still detached from the big picture.
Very insightful analysis!😍👍
No. The question for the Emerging Intellectual Right is SHOULD it break its ties with the "less successful, less productive parts of the society" in favor of "the high echelons of the society." In the short term that realignment appears rational, yes. However, the High Echelons are not breeding, whereas The Less Successful ARE breeding. The medium and long term belongs to those who show up, and the High Echelons are amusing themselves to extinction.
I agree with you that that is the trend, but it's not guaranteed to happen. The elites control education, media and other important institutions and they can simply indoctrinate the children of the rational classes. We need a robust response to this.
Excellent point.
The intellectual class may not be having children. But they are VERY good at converting children. They control all of the informational institutions and have a near monopoly on force through control of technologically advanced militaries. The poor and uneducated do not have the strength to resist physically or intellectually. I can see a semi stable system where the elite constantly refresh themselves with new blood from the younger generation of the greater populous. Although it does seem a bit precarious to be reliant on a constantly resentful underclass to refill your ranks, I don’t see a mechanism by which that underclass would be able to successfully rebel.
except that less education have outnumbered the elites yet elites have never been more powerful. Flawed logic.
No, it is clear they should not. There is a lot to be optimized. A lot of real work to be done that makes life actually better for most.
These videos should really must get more audience 😭😭So spot on ! And the mention Emmanuel of Todd's work is a great bonus.
This idea could also be framed as "lack of education undermines democracy" just as easy
The educated classes have always been more cosmopolitan in outlook than their less educated ethnic brethren. The reason is simple: as a rule, the former have been exposed to a wider range of ideas and likely have had the opportunity to travel more widely. If you have had genuine experiences of different cultures, it is difficult to remain a "ciemnogród" (Polish word referring to a conservative person who prefers to remain isolated from outside influence).
While true to an extent, this is insufficient to explain why those "educated classes" have chosen to create a new culture of globalism, one that turns a blind eye entirely to the issues this new culture causes; and is so heavy handed in its insistance that it is the only acceptable culture, that all other cultures should be sublimated, by any means nessary.
@@jgomo3877 It is about ambition and technological power. As technology has enabled ever increasing control on a global scale, those seeking power will naturally adopt a globalist ethos. The two go hand in hand: being a globalist at heart and seeking power reinforce each other.
But not all globalists are "heavy-handed" - though the loudest ones tend to be. I myself am a "cosmopolitan" in the sense that I do not have a strong cultural identity, have lived in different places with different ways of doing things, and have adopted aspects of different cultures in my world view. I respect the uniqueness of each culture, but at the same time feel that global cooperation is the best way forward for humanity. So you can call me a "moderate globalist". For example, I strongly believe that immigrants should respect the local cultures of countries they move to, but "assimilation" should be a personal choice, and will not be possible for most of them (for their children it is possible). This puts me in opposition to "the woke mob" or whatever you want to call it. But it also keeps me very far from the populists who attempt to, often cynically, harness native resentment to newcomers for their political goals.
@@blueodumyou want to keep the trees but want to have the paper. That is not how it works thought. You cannot like and want to preserve the culture of a place and at the same time want to stuff it with a bunch of foreigners that don't want to integrate. What you want simple can't exist. You want a complete homogenized world were everyone is the same, eats the same food, listens to the same music, speaks and talks the same. This creates a super culture that consumes all the rest while destroying social cohesion and local identity. You can have cultural difference and cooperate on the international level. Why you feel the need of killing different ways of life in order to establish cooperation? Can't cooperation exist with differences? The only thing that globalism achieves is the degrading of the human spirit, it's will to live in a community and gives insane power to bureaucracts, globalist economic powers and foreigners. I struggle to find any positive of globalism that can't be achieved with other means. Or how globalism with all it's problems is till having support from people
@@blueodum Agreed, it is about ambition, and technology does enable a much tighter degree of control over society.
You identify yourself as cosmopolitan; you take elements of culture from civilizations and cultures from around the world; this is the essence of how culture naturally works. Global co-operation is indeed of great benefit; indeed many industries would not be able to function without it; so long as that co-operation is voluntary and not coercive; as it tends toward in the modern day.
The issue is; power lies with those who have chosen to propagate a certain culture by any means necessary for their sole benefit, and think nothing of destroying and persecuting any who think and feel differently. The ultimate goal is the destruction of any unique traits of cultures around the world.
In the case of immigrants; the vast majority of people feel the same way; they are welcoming of outsiders who respect their host culture; the issue is across the west large enclaves have formed that hold their host cultures with nothing but contempt; and yet even speaking of this attracts accusations of "fascist", and other such -ists; from all corners of established society, and especially the elite, leading to a situation where all conversation is stifled. The issues continue to fester, and those who are treated with contempt begin to become disillusioned, and eventually become more extreme by necessity having their issues addressed.
A dangerous and self fulfilling eventuality.
I don't believe there are "moderate" globalists expect in moral theory. it is an idiology which seeks a singular global order. The "native" people have a right to have their voices heard and their democratic wishes fulfilled. Successive governments across the west have won elections for the last 30 years on the basis of lower immigration, and yet it has only ever increased. In many Western countries it has been the number one concern, for decades and yet it is never lowered, never addressed, except to attack and trivialise concerns and consequences. Increasing support for what is seemed "populism"; a term displaying contempt of the elite for the plebs; is an obvious consequence when no alternatives are given to an idiology forced on the population against their democratic will.
That's crap.. they're open to more brainwashing, feeling themselves removed from their tradition and culture ,that they shed with their new identity, being a so called education.

I agree that Democrats are attacking Trump judicially, but that doesn't mean he's innocent. Our goal should be to bring all the crimes of politicians to justice. We should not excuse them with a "double standard".
What I really hate is the phrase: "Let the voters decide". No, voters do not decide guilt or innocence.
The problem is it being a two tier justice system.

Undoubtedly he's guilty of some unpalatable things.

We can have justice, we can have anarchy, but to have targeted "justice" is the worst of both worlds.

I partially agree with your analysis. I think the greater problem is lack of democratic capacity on both sides. The liberal in liberal democracy does not stand for leftists values, but for consideration of the other side and their rights. Hence as soon as one party gets majority they ought not to infringe on fundamental rights of the other side (no matter if right or left is in power). Political populists are the ones driven to saw divides in the socienty and benefits from such rifts, hence demaging fundation of democratic and liberal society. University educated elitists pushing bonkers ideas are just byproducts of such divides in my opinion...

@@ernimuja6991 Nope just a Christian.

Really good video, It doesn’t however explain why and how those parties gain so many new voters from other backgrounds. I’d say that reason is a general feeling that we want to go back to the liberal 1990s-2000s, get out of this woke era, protect good old western values in the face of immigration and stand up to aggression and terror. You know, the way we used to live 20 years ago.
University used to be considered a quite conservative thing. Much of what you say in the video fits the current state of the world, but I dont think it was always that way nor does it necessarily have to be that way.
That started to shift after the second world war, and really started picking up speed in the early 60's. The left had its long march through the institutions, it took over hiring and the bureaucratic side of education and then started steadily filtering out those didnt agree with them until now, the education system is so ridiculously far left, that conservatives actively filter themselves by not bothering to even try to attend/work within it.
And now with the final stage of credentialism, they've locked out everybody that hasnt been subjected to 4+ years of indoctrination from taking part in this information economy. Its not that the world view precludes them, its just the system that they took over and are using as a weapon against their political/ideological opponents.

We make countries great and we will leave any country to be eaten alive if they don't support our views because we believe we know the world better. We are a bunch of crazy people who only go after shiny things and need us to correct them like babies (we do everything).
The world won the war against the Nazis because German scientists helped the USA build the nuclear boom first instead of giving it to the Nazis years ahead. German people needed to be defeated, and if you celebrate that and see we beat the Nazis, just know that educated people who make guns, propaganda, and tactics beat the Nazis; normal people are replaceable, but I'm not. My life costs more, so my ideas should also be more important.
There is no 'we' other than what educated people say to themselves. The golden age of Islam was ruled by educated people who went against norms to draw, ask about God's existence, and study dead bodies. After that, people who are led by imams convinced the sultan to stop them. Now, mostly they are nothing, and their educated people come to the West, which also happened in China and other countries.
The West was only successful by leaving the church, and now national Christianity wants to destroy it. Just like every time, us educated people will move as one block (Muslim, Christian, and whatever belief someone may have) to our next location to start our rise again and leave the national uneducated person to his stupid god that will show him social justice, how to run the economy with no educated people, how to even get enough money, education, and healthcare, and where to work. While we go to our new place to build the next global center because we can, unlike normal people, and also we did build everything and can build more. So, it's our way or the highway, and I'm leaving this hellhole like many of my friends if Afd wins the next election.
For all those reason we will see only what we want because we want the best for everyone , from social justice , freedom , equality , human rights , environment and peace , with us Europe and the west stop eating itself and with us the world will be peaceful again , if you want a civilisation , a strong empire or to be the next world center , you need educated people .
Even though each time uneducated people stop us , we get a little bit stronger and more more advance , we are ready to do that until we have total control , thankfully the next population crisis is our best chance since poor uneducated people will ask for a leader that will help them escape poverty and we should be there to be that leader , we just should ban tiktok , start educated next generation more and taxing the church/remove any mentions of god in schools and teach all religion equally which will prepare an elite that is ready to fight those religious people and control them.

Nice rant goldstein
Great video. My thoughts.
I do think as a society we need a lot of people who are higher educated however I feel in the US we have breached that quota and then some. Most jobs do not require 4 year college degrees and would be better severed by a trade school or apprenticeship. Most the people with higher education never use said education and simply settle into a job they could have done without it.
Id also be remiss if I did not state that everything you can learn in college is available online and college education is not the only way for a person to become educated. The college class have pushed college degrees as a form of elitism and credentialism assuming that its impossible for someone to learn the same information independent from the college system.
Americans have been told for my entire life "go to college or you will never be successful" but I really feel that just isn't true and is propaganda pushed by those who stand to profit from an abundance of college education. Namely the state and the colleges themselves.
Id like to push back that populist places are the poorest. At least in America that is not true. You can find plenty of examples of run down or destitute places in cities counties and states that have had left leaning leaders for decades. Rural does not = poor. You can also find examples of places that are primarily ran by the right that have thriving economies. Maybe the populists=poor is true on a global scale but I certainly do not feel like it fits a description of America.
You're a better version of Whifalthist.
10:55 Not 100% accuracy. In India, all the typical accusations faced by populist RW leaders are heaped on Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP yet their supporters tend to be more educated and urban than average.
That is because the Modi/the BJP appeal is to nationalism which India and many developing countries in Africa are yet to attain unlike in the developed west before WWII. Remember a lot of those countries were colonized, borders drawn for them by foreigners & their history erased so they are still projects to the natives who got “independence” irrespective of one’s education. Even the very concept of education in developing countries was made for them by their colonizers. And it’s in the interest of the developed west to keep those countries divided along sectorial, tribal, religious lines because it’s easier to exploit them that way for cheap labour & immigrants. They control the media which will label Modi/BJP “right wing” because a strong India or any other developing country is a hindrance to the food chain that the developed west created for itself

@@belstar1128 not really.
@@EmmaKing30 I think we have to make a distinction here, the nationalist appeal that the BJP promotes is not just any kind of nationalism. It's "Hindu nationalism," which attracts a certain strata of Indian society - those who want India to be ruled by the traditional laws of Hinduism. A party among them even supports the idea of India annexing the supposedly "breakaway states" from the "undivided India,” such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, and more. That's how radical it gets.
The idea of a sovereign Hindu state has always been popular among certain sections of Hindu society, even before independence. However, only recently has it begun to manifest into reality.

Someone in the comments proposed a "rite of passage" for voters. I think the politicians and the voters have to be tested, so that no obviously insane or ignorants can drive all others to an abyss

2 children minimum, to married spouse. no littering society with bastards to count.
1 year service in NHS, Police, Army, forestry.
Max age of 60 years.
Start with those and see if the calibre of minister improves. It should as they have a stake in the nation, no escape and are consigning their children to the choices they make.
the logical conclusions of such elitism end up being horrifying for the majority of the populace. if there's mandatory IQ tests for people in power and voters, why not mandatory IQ tests for potential fathers and mothers? why not mandatory IQ tests for anyone that wants to operate a car, motorcycle or even bicycle? if we embrace such elitism, terrible violations of freedom will logically occur soon after for everyone not part of what is arbitrarily considered "good quality" by those in power. it's a very dangerous concept.
I do have issues with this portrayal, but I'll leave those aside right now. If we want to make a comparison to ancient oligarchy and similar, then I think one very notable difference to history is the informal nature of the divide. Whether we talk of Athenian social classes or feudal hierarchies, classes and their relationships to one another were very much formalised, and we also see the legacy of such formalism in the United Kingdom with the House of Lords and the House of Commons. I do not suggest that the rigid, hereditary classes of old were a good thing, that people can choose their professions and succeed on their merits is entirely positive, but the past did recognise that there were categorically different kinds of people who each had their own place in the functioning of society which should be respected.
Take migration and the "anywheres". In the 1800s border controls practically did not exist and any educated well off noble, businessman or academic could with relative ease travel from one country to another, spend an indefinite amount of time there, and would seamlessly find themselves at home in like minded social circles, communicating with people in probably French, German or English. To close borders, limit trade and hamper migration is to cut these peoples wings, their internationalism is at least as much a part of their roots, their identity, who they are as a "somewhere's" region or language. In the past many cities differed entirely in their culture and even ethnic makeup from the surrounding country and they were also governed under an very different system from the surrounding country. Especially of an aristocrat it is fascinating to hear them recount their family history where one ancestor took part in the governing of Russia, another had fled the Revolution from Flanders, or a cousin had been a beloved socialite in Paris. A world of "blood and soil" is downright cruel to such a person. At the same time it's fair to recognise the vast majority of people never migrated very far from where they were born. Even today I would say lower and upper class migration are categorically different phenomena and treated very differently by people of all classes.
Currently countries or nations are seen as more or less singular cohesive entities with a more or less "one size fits all" solution, where all regions have essentially the same kind of law and governance, and all people have the exact same rights and duties. This seems to lead to fighting tooth and nail for that one country for fear of it being taken away. In reality though whether it is through one system or an old school divide into provinces and free cities, patricians and peasantry, lords and commons, in some way any harmonious solution will have to accommodate both kinds of people and their lifestyles.

@@den15423 It's they doing so much kids which turn into voters in few years.
Nope, Democracy allows all kinds of ideas to propagate.
Like how in the recent general election of India, a separatist Amrit Pal Singh won in Khadoor Sahib, Punjab and another separatist named Sheikh Abdul Rashid won in Baramulla, India-Occupied Kashmir.
Democracy just reinforces the ideas that the majority of people already have.
@@Moonuuu This is nothing but a clear example of "Demographics being destiny." Since democracy is about majoritarianism and demographics, it will favor any group of people who are willing to reinforce their ideas by any means.
@@jostnamane3951 That's why I like great dictatorship who is stable government rather than corrupt politicians.
5:04 Bro, it did. The law proposed making judicial rulings being able to be throw out with a simple Parliamentary Majority. That law basically makes any government with a majority immune to prosecution, defacto making corruption legal. That is why they proposed the law in the first place, Netanyahu was caught paying bribes and he wanted to get out of being prosecuted for it.
Well I hate democracy and liberalism and before you call me ungrateful, the country I live in is neither a democracy nor liberal. Therefore I am not ungrateful to anything.
Where do you live?
remember, the industrial revolution happened during monarchies without liberalism and democracy.
Same, democracy can more or less be considered a failure anyway at this point
@@sheridansherr8974 UAE, its a federal monarchy and its kinda liberalizing but by western stanadards (no lgbt rights and Islam is religion of the state) its not, therefore i like it. Every june well its normal also All food is halal and there is higher church attendance in this muslim country than many western countries since the christians here are philipino or African or European christians.
@@klown463 Glad to have people agree with me, my dad went to college got a masters degree in aeronetics engineering in a college in London and when started he wasnt very religious or knowledgable about his religion now that he finished he is ultra religious and conservative, btw we are Muslim and we dont live in London or the west my father just studied there.
I graduated with two degrees pushing for masters
I’m as nationalist as it gets 🏴
In Poland you are forgeting Konfederacja. Its conservetive-liberal (by modern western standards threthning democracy facist) party that is suported by 30% of voters under 29 years and over 25% of under 35 years of age. Its frist and second score in polls in their age boxes. Also voters of Konfederacja tending of have secondary and university education. On the other way older and less educated right wing electorat vote PiS.
KO is a catch all, it's meaningless as the views of the component parties are too varied and can be opposed on many topics. PiS lost votes not to KO, but to the other right wing party. Poland is still very much right wing among the young people ,as well ( even more so, I would say). KO exists solely to Donald tusk and his political flair. Most recent election were, in a sense, a failure or KO, even though they "won" by under 1% their 20 seats will be split amongst various European parties while PiS will go to a single party. I truly think tusk expected at least 10 % difference
I am not as paranoid about Konfederacja as my fellow sceptics of theirs, but we have to remember Mentzen openly hates democracy and would rather see a dictatorship or absolute monarchy, so yeah...
A wing of the party literally supports Franco's Catholic fascism so I think accusing them of fascism is justified
@@antiglassesgang I also suport it
Exceptional video.
Automation is a product of labor shortage. In fact, automation is a sign of a wealthy working class. When its cheaper to research, develop, and manufacture robots than to simply hire a man; thats a sign that the wages are quite high in society.
or the inexpensiveness of computers. its cheaper to put touch screens in cars than to machine plastic buttons. this is why you see 'better' tech in cars that is actually harder to use while you are operating a vehicle. changing the temp in my crappy ford, twist a knob. takes 0.5 seconds. Change temp in top tesla, Click 3 menus and dial down a slider, takes 3 seconds. sounds small but 30 MPH = 13.5 metres per second. that's 30 metres ahead that someone could step out and you not notice cos your playing with your aircon.
Disagree. Automation and labour are directly and proportional related, however high wages leading to automation is extremely reductive. Automation would still happen even if wages were below the ability for people to survive; the push for automation is as much about the ability for control of industries and society as it is economics. Morality, idiology, and aspiration are key elements also.
Automation is just superior to human workers in terms of precision and speed .. sometimes it's impossible to achieve high quality products without automation..
More automation is not necessarily the result of overpaid workers..
If you think about the American Civil the North was automating a lot of work while the South was dependent on cheap labor. Post civil war the South started getting industrialized. Today countries like Japan that have low unskilled immigration are more automated than places like the United States that can depend on immigrants for cheap labor but ironically the states that are raising minimum wage are the ones that are forced to automate. If California gets a $25 minimum wage McDonald's will just automate its cashiers and cooks with AI robotics such as Flippy.
@@ShA-ib1em I would love to see automated garbage trucks and sewer repair robots... the messes would be spectacular.
Hahah diploma owner here :p Unsurprisingly I have very few friends within academia
Why not just make college free and promote skilled but not college labor
Keep college expensive, it partially drives away young women from Far-left indoctrination, let the remaining public education slowly be taken over by conservatives, like what happened in new college of Florida
@lucaslevinsky8802 cost definitely doesn't drive women away.
@@floridaman318 Getting rid of half the workforce because you can’t get a wife is crazy
@@gregoryturk1275It comes to the detriment of the birthrates and overall mental health of women.

Another interesting video. Keep up the great work. 👍
"Enlightened" is an interesting way to spell brainwashed.
Euphemism.
Education is euphemism for propaganda. Remember, industrial revolution happened before the education system we have today.
Both sides of the same coin.
It’s easier to be brainwashed when you rely primarily on RUclips and Kick to inform your political opinions. The seed of critical thinking is best planted in formal schooling, as there is a disincentive to do it anywhere else. RUclipsrs want to keep their audience, and so do media outlets. An uncritical audience is easier to profit from.
@@Maelstromme formal schooling... lol
The highly opinonated parts negative towards college education was hard to watch, but the more factual statistics insights and description of growing divide between college educated vs uneducated or rural vs urban was very interesting. I hope for more such objective non-divisive content so that more people could enjoy your channel
This is why I believe a charter that names and guards the rights of man is what matters the most, not whether the society is a kingdom or republic, democracy or aristocracy, progressive or conservative
George Friedman has a great speech about the importance of nationalism, some of the best arguments I’ve ever seen.
lol, i figured this channel was going this direction
It was inevitable, if you start analyzing real-world data. For some reason "global warming" (or COVID) terrifies the most well educated (well, at least they used to), while the coming population/societal collapse coupled with the rise of totalitarian "western democracies" seems to completely avoid any interest. Mattias Desmet also has a good explanation for possible causes.
@@geoffhart oh, no, I meant I knew you would find people like you on this channel in a few months when I first started watching.
@@janvanhoyk8375 Also inevitable, as there will be more and more "people like" me ;) And if your not careful, you will be too (and I give you much credit for at least watching these videos - understanding the current situation is the first step).
@@geoffhart cute
@@geoffhartI moved in the opposite direction with time. It’s by no means infallible. People are frustrated with our current political system, so it’s cathartic to wave off democracy altogether. It is also easy to find instances throughout history that reinforce this catharsis, but it depends upon ignoring the nuggets of contradiction sprinkled here and there.
The problems we are facing right now are endemic to virtually every political system. Every political system is prone to exploitation. Even the most ostensibly egalitarian political systems have found themselves rapidly corrupted by the same leadership issues and corruption that comes with the advancement of smooth-talking psychopaths into positions of power. It’s one of the most pressing issues humanity faces.
I clearly remember myself saying, when I was 20 and a university student: Regarding voter turnout: it is better for the uneducated to stay at home rather than vote for the wrong party. And I considered myself strongly pro democracy. Your video is spot on
Before watching: This is either mild clickbait through omission or bro is breaking his cooking streak
Edit1: So yeah, bait. The title should be something like "The current tertiary education establishment has undemocratic tendencies", but I get that wouldn't get clicks. Another minor criticism is KB is often way too apologetic about certain aspects of the "populist right", even though he admits they are guilty of some things. The Establishment Anywheres do abuse the rule of law accusations, but they do have solid roots in reality. Might edit more in later, too.
What about after watching? He makes some good points
@@nubidubi23 don't have time right now, but will Edit later
What does "breaking his cooking streak" mean?
@@tomasvrabec1845 a cringe take after a string of good observations
What are you talking about, and shouldn't you be in class?
Your video reminded me of a common pattern of how foreigners perceive education in Canada/USA.
A lot of people outside North America think that our educational system are inferior institutions that create inferior quality people who are not ready to do anything productive as adults. While that is true, I find it to be outright wrong at the same time.
America itself (not counting international students and immigrants) still produces highly skilled scientists and engineers that turn out valuable R&D or startup projects that other countries like China cannot compete with. Then if you look into the community college institutes and American history (I.e.: the Dodge brothers), you find a “grey zone” where some of the best Americans combine theory & hands on ability into their profession.
Too many people have forgotten what “unapologetic meritocracy” really means….
- Nowadays, there's ALMOST (and INCREASINGLY SO) nothing of any kind - (fundamental) science, applied R&D, and startups included (whether those startups are fully private or semi-private state-sponsored organizations) that China could not does not actually produce, or isn't preparing and planning to start making/doing in the near future. It might work differently in terms of financing and bureaucracy, but it does work, overall.
- There seems to be a tendency to overrate startups a bit. Plus, (so-called "tech" startups) are often quite gimmicky, overpromising and underdelivering.
- It is not completely without reasons that many foreigners think that, in the last 1-2 decades, much of USA's/Canada's economy/industry/making-of-anything has been increasingly leaning towards producing gimmicky outputs, which are much less innovative than they claim to be, and which are much less useful or beneficial to the world as a whole (to the human species, environment, etc ) than advertised (the advertising/persuasion part is still second to none, hats off about that!), and which often tend to exploit (in a negative way) human psychological and cognitive weaknesses rather than help overcome those (a prime example - "social" networks, the big global ones).
- Startups or not... Intel having huge troubles expanding much needed chip manufacturing capacity on US soil; having to rely so much on Taiwan (TSMC and co.), China, South Korea, plus now Vietnam and India, for making electonics happen... Intel laying off en masse... Not so great, not so innovative.
- BTW, what percentage of software engineers/architects, developers/programmers, and electronics/electrical engineers staffing the big corporations (FAANG, Oracle, IBM, and co.), or startups, or Tesla and SpaceX, or the body of professors in universities themselves! - are truly "America itself (not counting international students who graduated in US universities, (+ postdoctoral researchers, + visiting professors, etc.)" ? And similarly about the medical, pharma, biosciences professions (both R&D and applied)?
-- In other words, what percentage of the highly-skilled, highly innovative professionals are at least 2nd-generation US/Canadian citizens? What about 3rd-generation ones? Any meaningful changes in the percentage compared to 2-3 decades ago? To 6-7 decades ago?
- How is it that startup-rich and very experienced in the nuclear and power generation areas USA is actually/physically (as opposed to projects on paper) designing AND building practically NO nuclear reactors these days (for close to maybe 2 decades now), except for what, a pair of two of AP1000s at Vogtle, which barely happened? All this while said China has been designing and building and operating dozens of PWRs, with some PHWRs sprinkled for variety, on a routine basis? Plus making strides and testing prototypes of HTGRs, molten sodium/lead-cooled (fast or semi-fast neutron) reactors, pebble-bed reactors, fusion reactors of multiple designs... It's a quickly growing list. All this considering the USA was the undisputed pioneer in nuclear R&D AND in nuclear manufacturing (and safety, and plant output, and and and)? PWRs, BWRs, LFTRs, decades ago... What today?
- If the answer to "What today?" is "wind and solar", which isn't a bad answer at all, then, uhm, turns out China (and Europe) are conducting research in those no less if not even more than the USA+Canada, and have fielded more generation capacity of current+previous generations of these technologies. Not to mention that China is the undisputed king in large-scale manufacturing of solar PV, and more or less on parity when it comes to wind turbines (Europe probably still has a moderate technological and quality/reliability lead in onshore wind, and more significant lead in offshore wind, for the moment, but the gaps are shrinking gradually).
- Of course there are smart and dedicated and well-meaning persons with bright minds in all nations, countries, and continents, everywhere, and of all ethnicities. I'm not saying they are THAT few jn today's USA/Canada. What I'm saying (as a foreigner) is just that:
- They are fewer than they used to be a few decades ago (or, at least, they are seen and heard (of) far less, which would be hard to explain by a sudden surge in modesty, or by hiding achievements and ideas, or by lack of advertising/boasting/popularization activities...).
- There is far less of anything so unique, appealing, or enticing about the USA/Canada - at least in the eyes of the several billion people outside the USA/Canada. The cool factor is nowhere what it used to be.
- And that is, in my opinion, a very sad development, because the USA/Canada TRULY WERE the uncontested leader in ALL of {democracy and human rights, general personal freedoms, entrepreneurship, scientific progress, technological innovations in practically all spheres, standard of living of the average citizen, industrial output as measured in real physical quantities and not just inflated fuat currency, successful and meaningful integration of massive numbers of immigrants while preserving (much of) their vibrant identities and cultural heritage, ... the list goes on and on ...).
But times have changed.
NO LONGER an undisputed leader, no longer a beacon of hope.
The list of failing (and then failed) once-great states/societies/nations is always open to new candidates, big or small, glorious or not at all. (Saying this as someone coming from a trying-so-hard-to-be-a-member-of-this-list country/nation, ironically one of the oldest countries/nations in Europe, and one which has preserved its name and language all that time, but is now marching towards demographic oblivion and intellectual degradation as a whole/of the average citizen -- despite the (still) relatively high proportion of well-educated and bright people who are using their brains actively).
So STILL is indeed a key word, with a far from optimistic aftertaste.
When it comes to tertiary education being able (or unable) to "produce" adults who are able and likely to be productive and useful, what comes to mind is the hyperproliferation of all kinds of "studies" (can't call those things proper scientific disciplines, maybe with a few rare exceptions), such as, for example, "gender studies".
Plus the tons of managerial majors, adding to the massive armies of economics and law majors/graduates - which hardly contribute(d) to a better economy (overall, except for the persons teaching those, and except for a limited percentage of the persons studying those), or to a broader or more just rule of law, respectively.
Is it worth to live in another country as a western european?
Maybe in Hungary?
Or is Budapest Paris with 40 years behind?
EU has open borders, so whatever happens in the west will happen in the east. I'd say that countries with cheap land are better, as you can create an insular community. Brazil, Argentine, some parts of Africa, etc.
You're better off living with your own kind or else prepare for a long learning curve to overcome language barriers and a bureaucratic mess of paperwork to get ahead anywhere
europe is done, we moved to singapore. my salary doubled, much better environment for my kids and much better public services
I'm English and live in Hungary, married a Hungarian 20+ years ago. My children go to school here. My daughter goes to Oxford next year - there are some excellent schools here but there teachers are not treated well.
Hungary is insular and oligarchic, but the people I meet are very kind and welcoming.
The neo-Nazis and Communists still exist but in tiny numbers.
The language is difficult but possible for basic things. You need to be fluent (C1) and know history (A level) to become s citizen, unless you have Hungarian blood.
Food is there most expensive I've seen (out of UK, NL, DE).
You can distill booze legally. Grass is treated like heroin but available everywhere.
No gender weirdness!
Hungary isn't an option for most. We open to leave again, as there is very little work and it is VERY badly paid. Look into The Slave Law.
Clot shot was mandatory for medical staff, and employers could (can?) force it on staff.

Ideas for alternatives?
@@PhthaloJohnson monarchies have proven far more effective than democracies.
Dynasties have lasted for centuries and millennia whereas democracy has collapsed after not even a century of its fullest expression.
@@saladin3273 Some dynasties have lasted for literal hours before the monarch was removed. They've also not been the most stable or productive type of governance.
Secession crisis is something that democracies are really good at solving. Similarly, democracies are less susceptible to corruption and systemic incompetence. You are more likely to take and hold power by merit in a democracy.
Monarchies, outside of the TV show type appeal have no practical benefit for most people besides the monarch and the royals. Being born into power doesn't seem palatable to most people anyway, so it's likely that people will not find the regime legitimate and simply ignore it leading to a failed state.
Maybe I am just an elitist liberal centrist, but you seem to overlook the existence of a populist left faction in this, which is made up of the humanities educated people.
Ironically, people want to dismantle the humanities :(

Политические системы строятся на взаимных уступках (Бедные не будут работать если им не платить. Они не рабы). Если ваша политическая система это просто свод указаний о том, как одним жить и поступать в отношении варваров, вы будете разгромлены этими самыми варварами или рабами.
