Thrilled to see Heather as one of your guests. Equally thrilled to see you add in video cuts. It really helps convey a more solid narrative. As opposed to talking head factoids.
My favorite part of this episode is my favorite part of all these episodes with these fucking chud-llectuals, "we're not racist but these DEI practices are gonna make us racist and that's THEIR fault" This heifer is just some once hard left, ivy league blowhard who's personal habitat got blown up by the Frankenstein's Monster SHE helped to create and decided to knee-jerk to the other side in all but name only as a way to have relevance. Fuck off.
My grandparents were put in a Soviet-run gulag for three years when the Red Army "liberated" Hungary. Every day, they endured hard labour. Even worse, they received daily reeducation to convince my grandparents that they were the cause of every problem in society. My grandparent's crime is that they were farmers. It's nice to know that today's universities teach the exact same curriculum that my grandparents endured in that Soviet-run gulag.
Are you seeing what the Liberal Left in power is doing to farmers today? History shows Socialism always starves its people, and I believe re-education camps are definitely going to be a result of this Marxist Democrat Socialist regime.
Similar. My great grandfather was put in the gulag when someone reported on him for being a xi-yon ist. It's crazy to hear today how many people willfully repeat the same rhetoric almost word for word without any context or history of what they are repeating
I'm sorry about your Grandparents, but in this day, I'm most sorry because Today the youngers, born 2001. Clueless to history. In America maybe GB/UK. Of course most ignorant of history of Israel folks. Say 70s to today. Of course. pro Palestinians, Clueless as to attacks on jews, from 70s. Several times thru the years, from 70s to now. Hamas attacked the jews, last 50y, historically many in restaurant, bomb the jews. Eventually build walls, iron dome, to live freee. ,,so the jews , gave Gaza to Hamas. Turnkey businesse...but. still attacked Israelis. . Hamas took money from Poor Palestinians ....but of course they can't complain of Rulers Hamas... ( unless in America) I was told re Hamas. OF abuse of poor, taken advantage of Palestinians
I always thought of Heather Mac Donald as one of the two top intellectuals who accepted the baton from William F. Buckley (RIP). Tomas Sowell is the other.
"Envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins before it became one of the most admired under it's new name, "social justice." Thomas Sowell.
"heyhey hoho western civ has got to go " . When western civilization goes , so go human rights, international treaties, rule of law, laws against slavery and human trficking, all human beings being born equal in rights and dignity... so they lose everything that allowed them, to end up in a situation where they could insult a teacher, a cop, and don't get executed on spot. Slavery will be back and all the rest. but they don't knwo that, because they have'nt studied anything. I think it's the end goal, geting grid of human rights, concentrated all the power into a small elite's hand, an elite that will be able to do whatever it wants.
@@swifty64@swifty64 You people really are stupid, so desperate to blame the decline on the US you HATE anything that is not backward Christian conservatism and have to invent boogy men. Where are all the cultural Marxists, names please, same with post-modern Marxists, a stupid oxymoron. Where are they all? Fluck me, fancy caring about social justice, how horrible. Its much more Christian to force your backward beliefs on others, regarding marriage and abortion. Why don't mind your own business? All you do is criticize and judge others because you are so insecure you cannot stand anyone questioning your beliefs because you are infantile and terrified of change. Do you know why there is so much infedelity? Because monogomy is unnatural to our species. Survival and procreation are the only 2 things that are in the DNA of every species.To continue the species. Most have windows where the female is fertile, with humans, while women are more fertile at certain times, tits and bums, that attract the male of the species in order to procreate are in our faces 24/7. Marraige is backward social construct, that was used to control women, control by making us feel guilty for our natural human urges. Adulterly is a vile Christian construct that makes sex dirty, as the clergy fluck young boys and get away with it. You are convinced this pyschotic dog eat dog society that treats everything as a disposable commodity, places no value on art, music etc because they don't yield a profit is the pinnacle of modernity. A country that considers healthcare as toxic socialism, but has no problem spending trillions a year on building ever more efficient machines of mass murder. Why, when no one can threaten the USA...why so much expenditure on the military? For reasons that Thomas Sowell, this fluck wit Konstantin, and none of you ever mention. From day one, America's prosperity has been fuelled by continual genocidal invasion and resource theft from the so called third-world that the west are 100% responsible for. This how stupid Americans are....not one of you would know of the Berlin conference of 1910, you know when the western nations were all about to plunder Africa (known as the mad rush for Africa) to fuel the industrial revolution, and realised they may go to war against each other. So they went to Berlin (Germany, The British, Dutch, French, USA, Belgians) and they drew up Africas borders, all of them expect for Ethiopia, and have been plundering Africa ever since. For every dollar in Aid that goes to Africa, $25 is owed to the IMF. If any African leader arises that wants to use the land for his own people, the USA will send one of its genocidal death stars, (aircraft carriers) to dispose them and put in a compliant puppet, so we get their resources and also the sweatshop misery required to keep our commodity prices down. You couldn't careless. Exactly the same thing was done in the Middle East. What do you think the US has been doing for the last 20 years in the Middle East? Mass murder on an industrial scale, raising entire countries to the ground, because the USA, which has 5% of the world's population, uses 28% of the world's oil. America is an imperiliast country of genocidal mass murder, and has never been anything else. That the US inteveved for freedom in WW1 and 2 WW, is the second greatest bullshit story ever told This genocide takes place because you self righteous morons vote for war criminals. You enable genocide, because you only care about yourselves. Americans protest US support for Israel, as they vote for the US and enable support for Israel. America is screwed because it is stone motherless broke and it has been since 2000. Its not the trillions handed over to the banksters that is a problem, or the trillions throw away on an unwinnable war, and Ukraine, is a US proxy war for Russian resources.

Well, some people call it a Mao style cultural revolution for a reason. Afaik the term "useful idiots" has been coined by the very people that were interested in spreading this pernicious ideology back in the day and that's what the students are. I can't even type it out because YT, which is part of the problem, will censor my comment.
Heather is so articulate and genuine, backs up everything she says with data & stats and is one of the most morally courageous people in academia! Love her ❤
Our most intellectually gifted! Calling for genocide is only bad if it is acted upon, but just using the wrong pronoun or preferred gender is an offense worthy of losing one's job?
I agree completely with your point of the obvious lack of principles by the university presidents. I also appreciated Heather's position. "From the river to the sea..." doesn't always mean genocide. When chanted by Hamas and Hezbollah, that is exactly what they are after. When chanted by a de-educated university student, they want Israel to just cede all power. Usually without realizing all Jews would need to flee the area to avoid being massacred. The political neighbors of Israel were very clear about their intentions on Oct 7. If students did chant, "Death to all Jews" that should clearly be outside any permissible boundaries of free speech and should be punished.
Its amazing that these so called intellectuals can just hand wave away what Israel is doing to Palestine right now cause collage kids support Palestine. A broken clock is right twice a day. Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are an apartheid state and is very sad to see these "intellectuals" supporting it.
@@NoelFallstrom but it does though. it does mean genocide 100% of the time. the de-educated university students understand exactly what that means, which is why they attack Jews that are not Israeli. Heather's position is the milquetoast position that got us to where we are today. she is right that they shouldn't be silenced though let them scream it loud and clear accelerationism is the only way.
Konstantin is wicked smart, but Heather MacDonald combines brilliance with righteous fury. She is completely fearless and has reams of stats in her memory bank that absolutely demolish the absurdities of the progressive left. She is like a white female combination of Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell.
There are more people in existence at this very moment who understand quantum mechanics and general relativity than ever before in history. More people are literate around the globe as I type this comment than there have ever been throughout the entire existence of our species on this planet. Your thesis is demonstrably false, and false in the dumbest way imaginable.
@@Muonium1 How is it then that people do not know the difference between men and women? How is it that 450 years ago the moors were pushed out of Europe for causing chaos and now they are welcomed back? How is it that there is no replacement for Concord How is it that Socialism is on the rise after 100+ years of total FAILURE How is it that AI is actually Idiocy .. I could go on and on The fact is with all the "intelligence" you believe in ... the idiocy is far greater People wearing masks against viruses when it has been well documented following decades of research that they do not protect against viruses.. you need a hazmat suit .. etc etc This is absolutely the most stupid time in human history because we really should KNOW better
As a white dude, I lost my black cousin to a drive by shooting in the 90s. I realized then as a child how stupid all of this racial division is, because it makes everyone ignore the real problem - gangs, ignored illegal activity, and a culture that encourages thuggery and violence instead of striving for excellence.
and what about armed white supremacist groups being led by racist veterans and the NRA refusing to help limit access to weapons of mass destruction to these groups and anyone else with a deranged vision of reality. And I suppose the fact that many if not most of the schools in poor areas not having the resources to (strive for excellence) has nothing to do with these problems of gang violence and police violence. But no, let's put our attention on peaceful protests as a means of addressing the issues.
@@johnstivaly1170 Not sure what your talking about....there's a lot there. Seems like you're rather upset. In my opinion.....all racism is bad. None of it is good. No discrimination is helpful. I think magnifying white supremacy only empowers it, it needs to be starved for attention, and looked at as the jokes they are, and I think everyone needs to see them that way. Theyre a joke, and ignorant, and have no idea what their really doing, or they wouldn't be doing it. I think the world would be a heck of a lot better off if we looked past superficial skin, and saw each other's souls. I'm a Christian, so my opinion is, we're all created in the image of God, and commanded to love one another. I hope you're doin well, friend. Truly.
“He is free to evade reality; he is free to unfocus his mind and stumble blindly down any road he pleases, but not free to avoid the abyss he refuses to see……..Ayn Rand
I was at Stanford in 1986. I barely remember the protest; it was dismissed as political correctness, which most people had little patience for at the time.
19:35 angers me. The fact that a student felt the need and was able to get away with telling a professor to shut up is infuriating.. I would have never thought to tell a teacher or professor that and I was a pretty rebellious guy in my youth
edit- Whoo okay, totally different context than I imagined it would be. Never mind me. - I haven't gotten that far yet, but I had a teacher for a 3 hour class who spent half of it talking about her life, and late husband. That was over 15 years ago, and I'm still bitter. I drive half an hour, park in an over crowded parking lot to basically learn what chapters I need to read in the book for next week, not actually being taught.
If you’re not in a relationship with somebody who is trans, or you didn’t give birth to somebody who is trans, or you don’t have a sibling who is trans… Why do you even care? It has nothing to do with you. They are such a small part of the population. They just want people like you to leave them the fuck alone.
The whole idea with encouraging people to insist of being called by the right pronouns is to discourage them to demand important social rights, those that really matter: free Healthcare, free education, affordable housing, etc
I'm ashamed to say I dropped 30k or so doing English at a redbrick in the UK 20 years ago and it was mental then. I just thought a few of the professors' views were unhinged; I did not know it was endemic.
"It's a slow process, which we call *Active Measures* . The first stage being *Demoralisation* , it takes from 15-20 years to demoralise a nation. The next is *Destabilisation* . What matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, defence systems. The next stage is *Crisis* . Followed by a violent change of economic structure & politics. Finally, There is a period of *Normalisation* . It will last indefinitely." KGB defector Yuri bezmenov, 1984.
I feel very privileged to have been in college when, and at a university where, they were teaching *both* the "dead white males" as well as fascinating and honest courses about women's/Chicano/African American/Urban studies in which everything was certainly not blamed on white males nor patriarchy, and in which we had some real debate. It seemed like our professors wanted us to learn to think critically so that the mistakes of the past power structures might be righted, rather than making us all feel like eternal victims.
@@Madonnalitta1 Yeah, I think the 90s were a good time to go to college because we were exposed to the woke stuff, so that we now understand the mentality today, but we were able to debate it and discuss it honestly without being lynched.
Heather is a hero! Hopefully, we can come through this insanity. If we do, it will be due to people like Heather and your podcast. Thank you for your fight against the insanity.
She is in my top 10 of people I most admire. Another is a person you mentioned, Thomas Sowell. Just a point about racism in America. In my High School graduating class in 1975 of over 325 students only 2 were black. Yet one of them was elected student council president. Even that far back in time most people did not care about a person's race. He won simply because he was the best candidate.
Yes, Conservatives have been raising the alarm for decades, but they were drowned out then and now by the screaming and violence of the radical Left and their mobs.
@@excellentcomment During the Cold War we did have intelligence services protecting us for communist ideological infiltration and subversion. When the Cold War ended we immediately stopped funding those programs. At the same time the student radicals of the 1960's were doing what Herbert Marcuse told them to do, go on a long march through the institutions to seize power. Those 60's radicals are the ones now in power.
Terrible with the black kids screaming at that teacher. Instead of an award she should have been suspended for a week or two. Do they think that will work in SHTFF?
My doctor is Indian, and probably not overly woke considering he has no problem telling me that my fat butt needs to lose some weight. 😂 He's also over 50, and Indians may count in with the East Asians when it comes to the lack of getting preferential treatment.
Omg that student yelling to the professor and having a complete meltdown … that got me very angry. Spoiled arrogant brat!!! Oh my goodness 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
That's so sad to read and I can only imagine what it's like if you are Jewish and or Israeli living in the UK right now. My heart goes out to you and I stand with you ❤.
Another edifying and educational interview with an intelligent and articulate person! Thank you to Heather MacDonald, and always, Konstantin and Francis.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can you please interview Jennifer Bilek, creator of 11th hour blog. She’s a great resource on the global push toward transhumanism. I see so many people pillage her work without credit and I’d like to see her get some recognition on her very in-depth hard work and research on this subject. I think you both would really enjoy a conversation with her.
At my university, the standards have slipped so much that the Vice-Chancellor (CEO) has the title of professor with only one published academic article. In the old days the vice-chancellor was example of the pinnacle of academic vigour, we just have a sad fraud now.
It always surprises me how many people do not have critical thinking skills. Most people need to be taught these skills. Now people pay money to be educated in hate. Keep these conversations going. These platforms are the new higher education.
Most people Do have critical thinking skills but sometimes in Order to succeed in life they need to follow the official narrative and loudly agree with things they don't like.
I really wish they'd specify 'black Americans', because trust me; not all 'blacks' have the same mentality! Can I just say, I LOVE how balanced you gentlemen are in this conversation 💛
The prof getting yelled at just make me cringe. You're barely 20 and you're lecturing a professor for using his constinutional right of freedom of speech.
That one video at 19:31, started me down the rabbit hole that was commonly known as Red Pilling. In 2015, that was the start of my Red Pill journey. Until then, I gathered my news from the BBC, watched and enjoyed mainstream TV, watched movies, sporting events, enjoyed watching the funny adverts etc. Now I feel my eyes have been opened to indoctrination in all of our media content. It's literally everywhere and I find it so un-comprehendible I didn't see it before 2015. The Matrix movie reference couldn't be more relevant to someone's awakening to the cultural Marxist takeover of Western culture.
I was born in 49. We weren’t poor but my parents budgeted carefully. We 6 kids never received an allowance and we all learned to work to provide anything “extra” for ourselves. I began babysitting at 12 and after 13 I paid for everything except room and board. I’m grateful for my great parents and their hard work in raising us. We always felt loved! 🇺🇸
Those that make the rules should be held most accountable to those rules. I'm a free speech absolutist, I abhor "hate speech" laws/rules, but if YOU impose "hate speech" laws on everybody, then YOU should be held accountable for breaking those rules just like everybody else. I'm tired of these people advocating punishment for "hate speech," hiding behind free speech every time they break their own rules.
Please please keep getting this sort of conversation out there. I am totally blown away (like Heather I think) that the world has gone so mad. Keep shouting Heather and keep the Trigonometry microphone on so we all can hear the truth. Amazing work. Thank you.
The American educational establishment is well aware, though tacitly, of the difference in academic performance between different groups; however, rather than endeavoring to raise the performance of the poorest performing group to the level of the best performing groups, they’ve decided that the far better course of action is to try to lower the performance of all groups to the level of the poorest perform group-in the name of “equity,” of course. We’re already getting a glimpse of what America will look like under the DEI regime in the anti Trump trials. Obviously incompetent, unqualified people who’ve been elected or placed into positions of power or authority are being revealed to a national audience. How is it possible that people of such obviously low intellectual bandwidth got through law school and then passed the bar exam? How?
I usually never comment on political videos because I’m afraid I’ll get cancelled. But fuck it. I went to UC Berkeley from 2017-2021 and I will say she is completely right about the lack of free thinking. In several of my academic classes, I was taught to basically be a sheep, walk on eggshells, and repeat whatever woke perspective was being taught. If someone voiced a different opinion, they’d get completely ostracized and “called out” by everyone else. Absolutely no allowance for debate or nuance. I honestly felt like sometimes the students’ political beliefs ran the class rather than the professors. I did love my school, but this part made me so miserable. I am slowly waking up. This woman is so smart. Thank you for this video.
@@baddog6003 Hi. I'd say 'in (positions of) authority' - 'authoritarian' means repressive, and 'authoritative' describes trustworthiness of a source of information. Only 'in authority' is a way of describing the holding of power that does so neutrally (unlike 'authoritarian'). All best
Regarding the question of “what is going on?”, I have a theory that what makes a well educated, intelligent person ignore or deny truth is the fear of being perceived as ignorant. If it’s true, I find it really ironic.
I wouldn't say it's ignorance they are afraid of. It's more that when you look at knowledge as something which should be detached from your own emotional interpretation, that knowledge becomes quite cold. Others then perceive you as a cold person when you deal in facts rather than emotional interpretations. It takes quite a strength of character to deal in difficult truths because you ultimately end up viewed by some people as uncaring, even though difficult truths are the starting point for finding real solutions to the problems which cannot be solved by application of emotion. There's a reason why Hume separated the is and the ought, and that was to remove the influence of dogmatic emotional and cultural influence on scientific enquiry. It's this tradition which has been assaulted.
Side point on university funding, which was mentioned in passing: just what are those US universities with colossal endowments actually doing with them, other than sitting on them? Some of them could probably make tuition free for everybody, and perhaps even cover living costs. Why don't they? ('I see you are sitting on a huge endowment, Dean.' Oo-er!)
Academia has earned America's animosity and active opposition. Like growing numbers of other Americans with advanced degrees, we persuaded our only child to avoid college. I earned my academic degrees by 1986 and like other Americans, my confusion turned to disgust & fury as I watched academia destroy our essential foundations like due process and freedom of speech. Now our son is 25, and he just wrote AND published his first book on Amazon. He is an excellent writer-- and we are deeply proud of him. You don't need college. You can find a better way to succeed. RUclips is a great gift to all of us in that way.
The gap isn't socio economic - I grew up on a council estate to parents addicted to drugs and my academic achievements were beyond my well off friends. I'm not well off now, and my daughter is in the advanced math class, advanced English class, plays Cello, and speaks fluent French. She's 9. I'm also a single parent. All those things are excuses, these children are not being parented properly. It's that simple.
Historically this reminds me of the end of the Islamic golden age of science. There was a lot of knowledge being gained. So much being learned then Bam! Math was proclaimed bad, etc etc etc and ideologues took control and the new knowledge essentially stopped.
19:50 One of the funniest parts of that scene there is how they all click their fingers instead of cheering or clapping because it’s less triggering! Not ‘funny ha-ha’, more ‘funny a dystopian nightmare’.
Okay talking about Doctors. I had an angioplasty done by a black doctor who just happened to be from Africa. The surgeon assigned to look at the angioplasty happened to look at all the data from it & saw me without talking to the doctor who performed the angioplasty & he told me everything looked good & they would put in 1 stent & that should take care of me. This surgeon happened to be white, after he talked to me he talked to the surgeon about my condition & he said I needed a massive open heart surgery, the surgeon came back to me & changed his diagnosis 180 degrees & they scheduled me for open heart surgery. I arrived the night before staying at a hotel affiliated with the hospital as it was gonna be an early start. The surgeon called me up as I arrived at the hotel & told he had good news that they were only going to do a stent & not have open heart surgery. Of course I’m happy for the change, who wouldn’t be ? I asked him what changed his mind & he said the doctor who performed the angioplasty was on vacation in Africa & the surgeon asked the doctor who was on call replacing the angioplasty doctor to take another look at my data & the on call doctor agreed with the surgeon that all I needed was a stent !!! Like I said I was estatic that I wasn’t going to have open heart surgery but what changed the surgeons mind ??? I’m going to go out on a limb here but not really because I know in my heart (pun intended) that it was a woke problem that almost caused me to have open heart surgery when all I needed was a stent !!! The Surgeon felt pressured not to contradict the angioplasty doctor because he was black, to change his diagnose he gave to me preceding his talk with the black doctor & gave in to his diagnosis that I needed open heart surgery. When the surgeon had a chance to push his original diagnosis because the black doctor was out of the country & get a second opinion that matched his original assessment he jumped at the opportunity because he knew he was right & I didn’t need open heart surgery. So by a lot of luck that my surgery was scheduled when the original angioplasty doctor was out of the country & I was saved from a needless open heart surgery. It’s unreal thinking about how your life was changed because a doctor was out of town & another doctor took advantage of that to assuage his guilt because he didn’t have the courage to stand up against Wokeness !!!
@@keyrajones6853 What’s sketchy ? A surgeon looks at results of an angioplasty & determines only 1 stent should be done. While the doctor who performs angioplasty calls for open heart surgery. The surgeon changes his mind after talking to angioplasty doctor & schedules open heart surgery. The night before the surgery is scheduled the surgeon finds out angioplasty doctor won’t be there for the surgery, so acting upon his original instinct asks for another opinion from the person on call for the angioplasty doctor & the on call doctor agrees with the surgeon & just a stent is done. Thats the sketchy part ! There’s is no reason for a surgeon to ask for another opinion the night before a surgery without any new medical information. The only new information was that the original doctor who pushed for open heart surgery wasn’t gonna be there so that gave the surgeon an opportunity to go by his first instinct instead of battling with the original angioplasty doctor ! Now doesn’t that give you a great confidence in our medical establishment whereby a doctor going on vacation can be the difference in having a stent put in or open heart surgery . My family & I went through a month of he🏒🏒 worrying about this surgery, thankfully I talked 2 of my children out of flying cross country to be there for me !
@@tedszweb5268 you are making wild assumptions here that's all. Medicine is not always a cut and dried-science. Different interventions can resolve the same pathology, the only difference being the intrusiveness. Some doctors are more conservative than others, which is always reflected in their treatment choice. This is why they seek their peer advice all the time to make sure they pick the best solution for their patients. This is also why patients seek or should seek second amd/or third opinions and be able to choose a treatment plan that they are more comfortable with. Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers. A simpler explanation could be that your surgeon was debating on a treatment choice, he discussed with the black doctor, open heart surgery was the best course of action at the time. But he still was not sure and thought about it some more, so he asked someone else who said the stent should be enough and that resonated with him. Doctors contradict each other all the time and I doubt that your doctor would be afraid to debate the black doctor opinion just because of his race and the woke issue, unless he told you that specifically. And that does not make the black african doctor incompetent. Ask yourself this, if your doctor had asked a third opinion, and that doctor opted for the open heart surgery, would you still maintain your stance?
@@keyrajones6853 #1 I know about the give & take of Doctors opinions being my wife just retired from 40 years of nursing with the last 20 spent running operating rooms, I have had discussions about 2nd opinions with them myself as some of them are my friends & have never had them tell me anything like what happened to me. Which doesn’t validate your opinion because my situation wasn’t normal at all & the things that I infer would have never entered my thoughts until I witnessed it happen ! 2 would I have changed my stance, NO because my inferences are all based on the Surgeon doing a 180 flip from his original diagnosis of just needing a stent . When he gave me his first assessment he was confident as he🏒🏒 I just needed a stent but when he came back & said after talking to the angioplast doctor he wasn’t as confident sounding & it seemed he was reluctant. Maybe you had to be there to see his manner which to me I could read like a good book. I was still going along with the open heart surgery. So when he called me the night before he said the original doctor was out of town & his replacement doctor graduated with him from Medical School. So he asked him to check it out as he wouldn’t be stepping on anyone’s toes then. 3 Ask yourself if you were gearing up for open heart surgery for a month dealing with your families worries & your own . Then the night before the surgeon calls you up & says oh by the way since the original doctor isnt here I’m going to have my buddy take a second look at your surgery. So in essence I didn’t have open heart surgery because a doctor just happened to go on vacation. WOULDNT THAT BOTHER YOU ?
WOW. I didn't know Heather said that. I posted this a few days ago. "Would calling for the genocide of Black people be a violation of student conduct or context-dependent?"
I'm really feeling this rise in mediocrity at the low and high level. My local big chain mini mart had small square wholemeal sandwich bread slices prominently displayed, for a month or so. When I asked if they'd ran out the manager looked at me with a puzzled look. He then ' reminded' me that the absence of certain items is due to it being part of an end to the run of a surplus which had been endured by the chain as a whole.?....At the high end I can't tell you how many times me and my doctor have both sat infront of a screen googling my symptoms.
Speaking as someone who went to high school in a predominantly black setting, where I was a minority white guy, let me just interject at the 1:00:01 timeframe here… I went to a middle and high school in the early 2000’s (graduated 2007)… literally I think all my classes (especially math and science) had no textbooks to give us. We had printouts if our teacher made them for us. Our football team was on its way to state, my teachers were also football coaches, that’s what was important (the sports). We were not in an inner city, but a poor community on the outskirts. At one time the school was in the top in Texas. Parents can’t force their kids to bring home textbooks in my upbringing, because we didn’t have them. Period. I ended up homeschooling myself from high school on to college shortly in the middle. All my classmates from my high school were in remedial courses when I went to college (as was I, for math, but many of them were in it for all of the main subjects, and I mean all). My school system was literally shut down and absorbed by another school system that was also known around that time as not being any good for education but they couldn’t shut down all the school systems in a 20 mile radius… but that was our reality. So sometimes, it’s not as simple as encouraging the parents to have their kids read a book. Sometimes it’s not even available for a single student. Speaking as someone who understands the parent (in my case) can make all the difference. What saved me? I taught myself from high school onwards. And learning early on no one would be there for me. Not a single person.

Thrilled to see Heather as one of your guests. Equally thrilled to see you add in video cuts. It really helps convey a more solid narrative. As opposed to talking head factoids.
19:50 Shitflake Useless Turds, not students. Expel all defamers.
My favorite part of this episode is my favorite part of all these episodes with these fucking chud-llectuals, "we're not racist but these DEI practices are gonna make us racist and that's THEIR fault"
This heifer is just some once hard left, ivy league blowhard who's personal habitat got blown up by the Frankenstein's Monster SHE helped to create and decided to knee-jerk to the other side in all but name only as a way to have relevance. Fuck off.
My grandparents were put in a Soviet-run gulag for three years when the Red Army "liberated" Hungary. Every day, they endured hard labour. Even worse, they received daily reeducation to convince my grandparents that they were the cause of every problem in society. My grandparent's crime is that they were farmers. It's nice to know that today's universities teach the exact same curriculum that my grandparents endured in that Soviet-run gulag.
Are you seeing what the Liberal Left in power is doing to farmers today? History shows Socialism always starves its people, and I believe re-education camps are definitely going to be a result of this Marxist Democrat Socialist regime.
Similar. My great grandfather was put in the gulag when someone reported on him for being a xi-yon ist. It's crazy to hear today how many people willfully repeat the same rhetoric almost word for word without any context or history of what they are repeating
I'm sorry about your Grandparents, but in this day, I'm most sorry because Today the youngers, born 2001.
Clueless to history. In America maybe GB/UK. Of course most ignorant of history of Israel folks. Say 70s to today.
Of course. pro Palestinians, Clueless as to attacks on jews, from 70s. Several times thru the years, from 70s to now.
Hamas attacked the jews, last 50y, historically many in restaurant, bomb the jews. Eventually build walls, iron dome, to live freee.
,,so the jews , gave Gaza to Hamas. Turnkey businesse...but. still attacked Israelis. . Hamas took money from Poor Palestinians ....but of course they can't complain of Rulers Hamas... ( unless in America)
I was told re Hamas. OF abuse of poor, taken advantage of Palestinians
Christopher Hitchins said it best, we now live in an age of infantilism.
Miss Hitch 😢
Better and more accurately put is that the marxists we fought on the cold war did indeed take over our governments and institutions here in the West.
Where are the younger intellectuals at? Seems we never got anyone to replace Hitchens, Chomsky and Sowell
I always thought of Heather Mac Donald as one of the two top intellectuals who accepted the baton from William F. Buckley (RIP). Tomas Sowell is the other.
Infantilism is not an accident it's a control and oppression instrument
"Envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins before it became one of the most admired under it's new name, "social justice."
Thomas Sowell.
Genius
That's gold.
That's so fucking bang on. Good old Thomas Sowell
"heyhey hoho western civ has got to go " . When western civilization goes , so go human rights, international treaties, rule of law, laws against slavery and human trficking, all human beings being born equal in rights and dignity... so they lose everything that allowed them, to end up in a situation where they could insult a teacher, a cop, and don't get executed on spot. Slavery will be back and all the rest. but they don't knwo that, because they have'nt studied anything. I think it's the end goal, geting grid of human rights, concentrated all the power into a small elite's hand, an elite that will be able to do whatever it wants.
@@swifty64@swifty64 You people really are stupid, so desperate to blame the decline on the US you HATE anything that is not backward Christian conservatism and have to invent boogy men.
Where are all the cultural Marxists, names please, same with post-modern Marxists, a stupid oxymoron. Where are they all? Fluck me, fancy caring about social justice, how horrible. Its much more Christian to force your backward beliefs on others, regarding marriage and abortion. Why don't mind your own business? All you do is criticize and judge others because you are so insecure you cannot stand anyone questioning your beliefs because you are infantile and terrified of change.
Do you know why there is so much infedelity? Because monogomy is unnatural to our species.
Survival and procreation are the only 2 things that are in the DNA of every species.To continue the species. Most have windows where the female is fertile, with humans, while women are more fertile at certain times, tits and bums, that attract the male of the species in order to procreate are in our faces 24/7. Marraige is backward social construct, that was used to control women, control by making us feel guilty for our natural human urges.
Adulterly is a vile Christian construct that makes sex dirty, as the clergy fluck young boys and get away with it.
You are convinced this pyschotic dog eat dog society that treats everything as a disposable commodity, places no value on art, music etc because they don't yield a profit is the pinnacle of modernity. A country that considers healthcare as toxic socialism, but has no problem spending trillions a year on building ever more efficient machines of mass murder.
Why, when no one can threaten the USA...why so much expenditure on the military? For reasons that Thomas Sowell, this fluck wit Konstantin, and none of you ever mention. From day one, America's prosperity has been fuelled by continual genocidal invasion and resource theft from the so called third-world that the west are 100% responsible for.
This how stupid Americans are....not one of you would know of the Berlin conference of 1910, you know when the western nations were all about to plunder Africa (known as the mad rush for Africa) to fuel the industrial revolution, and realised they may go to war against each other. So they went to Berlin (Germany, The British, Dutch, French, USA, Belgians) and they drew up Africas borders, all of them expect for Ethiopia, and have been plundering Africa ever since. For every dollar in Aid that goes to Africa, $25 is owed to the IMF. If any African leader arises that wants to use the land for his own people, the USA will send one of its genocidal death stars, (aircraft carriers) to dispose them and put in a compliant puppet, so we get their resources and also the sweatshop misery required to keep our commodity prices down.
You couldn't careless.
Exactly the same thing was done in the Middle East. What do you think the US has been doing for the last 20 years in the Middle East? Mass murder on an industrial scale, raising entire countries to the ground, because the USA, which has 5% of the world's population, uses 28% of the world's oil. America is an imperiliast country of genocidal mass murder, and has never been anything else. That the US inteveved for freedom in WW1 and 2 WW, is the second greatest bullshit story ever told
This genocide takes place because you self righteous morons vote for war criminals. You enable genocide, because you only care about yourselves. Americans protest US support for Israel, as they vote for the US and enable support for Israel.
America is screwed because it is stone motherless broke and it has been since 2000. Its not the trillions handed over to the banksters that is a problem, or the trillions throw away on an unwinnable war, and Ukraine, is a US proxy war for Russian resources. No its woke that is the problem
There is no culture war....the west has no culture.

American Infantilization and the Age of Reason - Medium
What's increasingly infantile is the mainstream culture. The majority's demand makes something popular and the tastes of the majority reflect most people's average or below-average intelligence.
The student screaming at the professor reminds me of the Cultural Revolution that happened in China. Very scary.
I recommend reading “The Cow Shed” by by Ji Xianlin. Petrifying first hand account.
Well, some people call it a Mao style cultural revolution for a reason. Afaik the term "useful idiots" has been coined by the very people that were interested in spreading this pernicious ideology back in the day and that's what the students are. I can't even type it out because YT, which is part of the problem, will censor my comment.
Exactly, how can you expect any academic achievement from a person with that mindset?
The student jackass acts like she is his boss reading him the riot act. I bet she is fun to hang out with.
I wouldn't take that idiot's shit!
Heather Mac Donald has been sounding the alarm for many years. She uses undisputed facts, data, and evidence. I like her.
perfect summary.
Like a female Thomas sowell
Just like Thomas Sowell.
My late mother used to say "envy creates monster's" and was she so right.
I've always liked Heather, a lot. Not her best day, to say the least.

After this interview, I think the USA is post-Western.
@@bri_____Then what is left to do?
Heather is so articulate and genuine, backs up everything she says with data & stats and is one of the most morally courageous people in academia! Love her ❤
bullshit stats< She is a biggoted white supremist
Our most intellectually gifted! Calling for genocide is only bad if it is acted upon, but just using the wrong pronoun or preferred gender is an offense worthy of losing one's job?
That's exactly the message of our elite
I agree completely with your point of the obvious lack of principles by the university presidents.
I also appreciated Heather's position. "From the river to the sea..." doesn't always mean genocide. When chanted by Hamas and Hezbollah, that is exactly what they are after. When chanted by a de-educated university student, they want Israel to just cede all power. Usually without realizing all Jews would need to flee the area to avoid being massacred. The political neighbors of Israel were very clear about their intentions on Oct 7.
If students did chant, "Death to all Jews" that should clearly be outside any permissible boundaries of free speech and should be punished.
Its amazing that these so called intellectuals can just hand wave away what Israel is doing to Palestine right now cause collage kids support Palestine. A broken clock is right twice a day. Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are an apartheid state and is very sad to see these "intellectuals" supporting it.
@@NoelFallstrom
but it does though. it does mean genocide 100% of the time.
the de-educated university students understand exactly what that means, which is why they attack Jews that are not Israeli.
Heather's position is the milquetoast position that got us to where we are today.
she is right that they shouldn't be silenced though let them scream it loud and clear
accelerationism is the only way.
@@NoelFallstrom Very well said.

You can count on Heather to say it like it is. She never holds back.
Freedom of speech seems to have become kids throwing tantrums with their parents money.
It is rare to see someone speaking with Konstantin that is more razor focused and clearly spoken. She is quite excellent.
Konstantin is wicked smart, but Heather MacDonald combines brilliance with righteous fury. She is completely fearless and has reams of stats in her memory bank that absolutely demolish the absurdities of the progressive left. She is like a white female combination of Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell.
Lol. This is Mao’s cultural revolution.
Mao allowed kids to run wild for his power goals & the kids wound up murdering millions.
What these kids don't know is that much of the Red Gaurd was later disposed of when they weren't necessary anymore and were just a burden

As a white dude, I lost my black cousin to a drive by shooting in the 90s. I realized then as a child how stupid all of this racial division is, because it makes everyone ignore the real problem - gangs, ignored illegal activity, and a culture that encourages thuggery and violence instead of striving for excellence.
They begin teaching you to be racist at daycare and never stop
and what about armed white supremacist groups being led by racist veterans and the NRA refusing to help limit access to weapons of mass destruction to these groups and anyone else with a deranged vision of reality. And I suppose the fact that many if not most of the schools in poor areas not having the resources to (strive for excellence) has nothing to do with these problems of gang violence and police violence. But no, let's put our attention on peaceful protests as a means of addressing the issues.
@@johnstivaly1170 Not sure what your talking about....there's a lot there. Seems like you're rather upset.
In my opinion.....all racism is bad. None of it is good. No discrimination is helpful. I think magnifying white supremacy only empowers it, it needs to be starved for attention, and looked at as the jokes they are, and I think everyone needs to see them that way. Theyre a joke, and ignorant, and have no idea what their really doing, or they wouldn't be doing it. I think the world would be a heck of a lot better off if we looked past superficial skin, and saw each other's souls. I'm a Christian, so my opinion is, we're all created in the image of God, and commanded to love one another.
I hope you're doin well, friend. Truly.
That is why you need Charter Schools. If honest government takes on lousy public schools, the teachers unions will go crazy.

Fantastic quote
I was at Stanford in 1986. I barely remember the protest; it was dismissed as political correctness, which most people had little patience for at the time.
Yet it is remembered as defining down education standards. Today we have no standards, and Socrates is best found nowhere near any campus.
Oh how far we've come since the 80s.
19:35 angers me. The fact that a student felt the need and was able to get away with telling a professor to shut up is infuriating.. I would have never thought to tell a teacher or professor that and I was a pretty rebellious guy in my youth
edit- Whoo okay, totally different context than I imagined it would be. Never mind me.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but I had a teacher for a 3 hour class who spent half of it talking about her life, and late husband. That was over 15 years ago, and I'm still bitter. I drive half an hour, park in an over crowded parking lot to basically learn what chapters I need to read in the book for next week, not actually being taught.

Identifying as a random profession is still much more realistic than identifying as the opposite sex
The whole idea with encouraging people to insist of being called by the right pronouns is to discourage them to demand important social rights, those that really matter: free Healthcare, free education, affordable housing, etc
I'm ashamed to say I dropped 30k or so doing English at a redbrick in the UK 20 years ago and it was mental then. I just thought a few of the professors' views were unhinged; I did not know it was endemic.

"It's a slow process, which we call *Active Measures* .
The first stage being *Demoralisation* , it takes from 15-20 years to demoralise a nation.
The next is *Destabilisation* . What matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, defence systems.
The next stage is *Crisis* . Followed by a violent change of economic structure & politics. Finally,
There is a period of *Normalisation* . It will last indefinitely."

Holy sh!t - that says a lot. The Baby Boomers started this process in the 1980's. And here we are.
I feel very privileged to have been in college when, and at a university where, they were teaching *both* the "dead white males" as well as fascinating and honest courses about women's/Chicano/African American/Urban studies in which everything was certainly not blamed on white males nor patriarchy, and in which we had some real debate. It seemed like our professors wanted us to learn to think critically so that the mistakes of the past power structures might be righted, rather than making us all feel like eternal victims.

@@Madonnalitta1 Yeah, I think the 90s were a good time to go to college because we were exposed to the woke stuff, so that we now understand the mentality today, but we were able to debate it and discuss it honestly without being lynched.

She is in my top 10 of people I most admire. Another is a person you mentioned, Thomas Sowell. Just a point about racism in America. In my High School graduating class in 1975 of over 325 students only 2 were black. Yet one of them was elected student council president. Even that far back in time most people did not care about a person's race. He won simply because he was the best candidate.
I graduated in 1976. Yes, it was like that.
People did raise the alarm. I remember reading Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind in 1990. It was published in 1987.
Yes, Conservatives have been raising the alarm for decades, but they were drowned out then and now by the screaming and violence of the radical Left and their mobs.
Why didn't it work?
@@excellentcomment During the Cold War we did have intelligence services protecting us for communist ideological infiltration and subversion. When the Cold War ended we immediately stopped funding those programs.

At my university, the standards have slipped so much that the Vice-Chancellor (CEO) has the title of professor with only one published academic article. In the old days the vice-chancellor was example of the pinnacle of academic vigour, we just have a sad fraud now.
It always surprises me how many people do not have critical thinking skills. Most people need to be taught these skills. Now people pay money to be educated in hate. Keep these conversations going. These platforms are the new higher education.
they hate everyone who doesn't succumb to their ideology and yet they think it's others who are intolerant and hateful and bigoted
Most people Do have critical thinking skills but sometimes in Order to succeed in life they need to follow the official narrative and loudly agree with things they don't like.

That one video at 19:31, started me down the rabbit hole that was commonly known as Red Pilling. In 2015, that was the start of my Red Pill journey. Until then, I gathered my news from the BBC, watched and enjoyed mainstream TV, watched movies, sporting events, enjoyed watching the funny adverts etc. Now I feel my eyes have been opened to indoctrination in all of our media content. It's literally everywhere and I find it so un-comprehendible I didn't see it before 2015. The Matrix movie reference couldn't be more relevant to someone's awakening to the cultural Marxist takeover of Western culture.
I was born in 49. We weren’t poor but my parents budgeted carefully. We 6 kids never received an allowance and we all learned to work to provide anything “extra” for ourselves. I began babysitting at 12 and after 13 I paid for everything except room and board. I’m grateful for my great parents and their hard work in raising us. We always felt loved! 🇺🇸
Every time I listen to Heather MacDonald, I feel like I've learnt something. She is brilliant.
Those that make the rules should be held most accountable to those rules. I'm a free speech absolutist, I abhor "hate speech" laws/rules, but if YOU impose "hate speech" laws on everybody, then YOU should be held accountable for breaking those rules just like everybody else. I'm tired of these people advocating punishment for "hate speech," hiding behind free speech every time they break their own rules.
Every thing is held hostage by an evil ideology.

Please please keep getting this sort of conversation out there. I am totally blown away (like Heather I think) that the world has gone so mad. Keep shouting Heather and keep the Trigonometry microphone on so we all can hear the truth. Amazing work. Thank you.
Irony of ironies - that young woman screaming at Christakis was on his hiring committee.

Really?? Do you have a link?

Ms Mac Donald is always worth reading and listening to. Thank you, ma'am.
So glad Heather mentioned Middlemarch.
It's perhaps the one book that led to my psychological awakening.
The American educational establishment is well aware, though tacitly, of the difference in academic performance between different groups; however, rather than endeavoring to raise the performance of the poorest performing group to the level of the best performing groups, they’ve decided that the far better course of action is to try to lower the performance of all groups to the level of the poorest perform group-in the name of “equity,” of course. We’re already getting a glimpse of what America will look like under the DEI regime in the anti Trump trials. Obviously incompetent, unqualified people who’ve been elected or placed into positions of power or authority are being revealed to a national audience. How is it possible that people of such obviously low intellectual bandwidth got through law school and then passed the bar exam? How?
Well done, Heather MacDonald & Triggernometry Team!! Thank you so much.
Fantastic and very important conversation. Thank you. God bless. Agape!! 🎉🎉🎉
I greatly appreciate her final words. The arts have enriched my life, making it a bit more bearable.
I usually never comment on political videos because I’m afraid I’ll get cancelled. But fuck it. I went to UC Berkeley from 2017-2021 and I will say she is completely right about the lack of free thinking. In several of my academic classes, I was taught to basically be a sheep, walk on eggshells, and repeat whatever woke perspective was being taught. If someone voiced a different opinion, they’d get completely ostracized and “called out” by everyone else. Absolutely no allowance for debate or nuance. I honestly felt like sometimes the students’ political beliefs ran the class rather than the professors. I did love my school, but this part made me so miserable. I am slowly waking up. This woman is so smart. Thank you for this video.
The people in authoritarian positions HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS
Positions of authority - but in many cases, yes.
and are evil!
I think you mean authoritative.
@@baddog6003 Hi. I'd say 'in (positions of) authority' - 'authoritarian' means repressive, and 'authoritative' describes trustworthiness of a source of information. Only 'in authority' is a way of describing the holding of power that does so neutrally (unlike 'authoritarian').
All best
@@baddog6003authorities are authoritative
Just a small correction, the term "white racism" is a bit redundant because apparently there is no other kind.....

Good lord, this woman is unfathomably based.

She is a bigot
Bending over for dei is the dumbest thing we could do as a civilization. It will lead to stagnation and eventual collapse.
I am really curious why the elite universities given the ability to admit basically anyone in the world chose to admit these lunatics.
IIRC, isn't the woman who yelled "who the fuck hired you?!" was also on the committee that hired Dr. Nick?

I first heard Heather MacDonald on The Brendan O'Neill Show. She's marvellous.
Regarding the question of “what is going on?”, I have a theory that what makes a well educated, intelligent person ignore or deny truth is the fear of being perceived as ignorant. If it’s true, I find it really ironic.
I wouldn't say it's ignorance they are afraid of. It's more that when you look at knowledge as something which should be detached from your own emotional interpretation, that knowledge becomes quite cold. Others then perceive you as a cold person when you deal in facts rather than emotional interpretations. It takes quite a strength of character to deal in difficult truths because you ultimately end up viewed by some people as uncaring, even though difficult truths are the starting point for finding real solutions to the problems which cannot be solved by application of emotion.
There's a reason why Hume separated the is and the ought, and that was to remove the influence of dogmatic emotional and cultural influence on scientific enquiry. It's this tradition which has been assaulted.
What is this lady talking about? She thinks they haven't called for the genocide of Jews? What the hell does "From the river to the sea" mean?
Excellent conversation.
For most of them involved with academia it boils down to 💰💰💰💰💰💰...
The self pity and rudeness of these vile "students"are disgusting. I feel i need a bath.
Downvoted for her pathetic leftie views on Hamas.... disgusting.
Side point on university funding, which was mentioned in passing: just what are those US universities with colossal endowments actually doing with them, other than sitting on them? Some of them could probably make tuition free for everybody, and perhaps even cover living costs. Why don't they?
('I see you are sitting on a huge endowment, Dean.' Oo-er!)
Academia has earned America's animosity and active opposition. Like growing numbers of other Americans with advanced degrees, we persuaded our only child to avoid college. I earned my academic degrees by 1986 and like other Americans, my confusion turned to disgust & fury as I watched academia destroy our essential foundations like due process and freedom of speech. Now our son is 25, and he just wrote AND published his first book on Amazon. He is an excellent writer-- and we are deeply proud of him. You don't need college. You can find a better way to succeed. RUclips is a great gift to all of us in that way.
Well, give him a plug!
What's the book called? What's it about?
The gap isn't socio economic - I grew up on a council estate to parents addicted to drugs and my academic achievements were beyond my well off friends.
I'm not well off now, and my daughter is in the advanced math class, advanced English class, plays Cello, and speaks fluent French. She's 9.
I'm also a single parent.
All those things are excuses, these children are not being parented properly. It's that simple.
The poorest parts of Appalachia, produce more advanced degrees than all of the urban (ghetto) areas, it's not money, it's culture
Historically this reminds me of the end of the Islamic golden age of science. There was a lot of knowledge being gained. So much being learned then Bam! Math was proclaimed bad, etc etc etc and ideologues took control and the new knowledge essentially stopped.
Then crusades hit apparently
19:50 One of the funniest parts of that scene there is how they all click their fingers instead of cheering or clapping because it’s less triggering! Not ‘funny ha-ha’, more ‘funny a dystopian nightmare’.
Okay talking about Doctors.
I had an angioplasty done by a black doctor who just happened to be from Africa. The surgeon assigned to look at the angioplasty happened to look at all the data from it & saw me without talking to the doctor who performed the angioplasty & he told me everything looked good & they would put in 1 stent & that should take care of me. This surgeon happened to be white, after he talked to me he talked to the surgeon about my condition & he said I needed a massive open heart surgery, the surgeon came back to me & changed his diagnosis 180 degrees & they scheduled me for open heart surgery. I arrived the night before staying at a hotel affiliated with the hospital as it was gonna be an early start. The surgeon called me up as I arrived at the hotel & told he had good news that they were only going to do a stent & not have open heart surgery. Of course I’m happy for the change, who wouldn’t be ? I asked him what changed his mind & he said the doctor who performed the angioplasty was on vacation in Africa & the surgeon asked the doctor who was on call replacing the angioplasty doctor to take another look at my data & the on call doctor agreed with the surgeon that all I needed was a stent !!! Like I said I was estatic that I wasn’t going to have open heart surgery but what changed the surgeons mind ???
I’m going to go out on a limb here but not really because I know in my heart (pun intended) that it was a woke problem that almost caused me to have open heart surgery when all I needed was a stent !!!
The Surgeon felt pressured not to contradict the angioplasty doctor because he was black, to change his diagnose he gave to me preceding his talk with the black doctor & gave in to his diagnosis that I needed open heart surgery. When the surgeon had a chance to push his original diagnosis because the black doctor was out of the country & get a second opinion that matched his original assessment he jumped at the opportunity because he knew he was right & I didn’t need open heart surgery. So by a lot of luck that my surgery was scheduled when the original angioplasty doctor was out of the country & I was saved from a needless open heart surgery.
It’s unreal thinking about how your life was changed because a doctor was out of town & another doctor took advantage of that to assuage his guilt because he didn’t have the courage to stand up against Wokeness !!!
Lol that's a sketchy interpretation of the situation
@@keyrajones6853
What’s sketchy ?
A surgeon looks at results of an angioplasty & determines only 1 stent should be done.
While the doctor who performs angioplasty calls for open heart surgery.
The surgeon changes his mind after talking to angioplasty doctor & schedules open heart surgery.
The night before the surgery is scheduled the surgeon finds out angioplasty doctor won’t be there for the surgery, so acting upon his original instinct asks for another opinion from the person on call for the angioplasty doctor & the on call doctor agrees with the surgeon & just a stent is done.
Thats the sketchy part !
There’s is no reason for a surgeon to ask for another opinion the night before a surgery without any new medical information. The only new information was that the original doctor who pushed for open heart surgery wasn’t gonna be there so that gave the surgeon an opportunity to go by his first instinct instead of battling with the original angioplasty doctor !
Now doesn’t that give you a great confidence in our medical establishment whereby a doctor going on vacation can be the difference in having a stent put in or open heart surgery . My family & I went through a month of he🏒🏒 worrying about this surgery, thankfully I talked 2 of my children out of flying cross country to be there for me !
@@tedszweb5268 you are making wild assumptions here that's all. Medicine is not always a cut and dried-science. Different interventions can resolve the same pathology, the only difference being the intrusiveness. Some doctors are more conservative than others, which is always reflected in their treatment choice. This is why they seek their peer advice all the time to make sure they pick the best solution for their patients. This is also why patients seek or should seek second amd/or third opinions and be able to choose a treatment plan that they are more comfortable with. Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers. A simpler explanation could be that your surgeon was debating on a treatment choice, he discussed with the black doctor, open heart surgery was the best course of action at the time. But he still was not sure and thought about it some more, so he asked someone else who said the stent should be enough and that resonated with him. Doctors contradict each other all the time and I doubt that your doctor would be afraid to debate the black doctor opinion just because of his race and the woke issue, unless he told you that specifically. And that does not make the black african doctor incompetent. Ask yourself this, if your doctor had asked a third opinion, and that doctor opted for the open heart surgery, would you still maintain your stance?
@@keyrajones6853
#1 I know about the give & take of Doctors opinions being my wife just retired from 40 years of nursing with the last 20 spent running operating rooms, I have had discussions about 2nd opinions with them myself as some of them are my friends & have never had them tell me anything like what happened to me. Which doesn’t validate your opinion because my situation wasn’t normal at all & the things that I infer would have never entered my thoughts until I witnessed it happen !
2 would I have changed my stance, NO because my inferences are all based on the Surgeon doing a 180 flip from his original diagnosis of just needing a stent . When he gave me his first assessment he was confident as he🏒🏒 I just needed a stent but when he came back & said after talking to the angioplast doctor he wasn’t as confident sounding & it seemed he was reluctant. Maybe you had to be there to see his manner which to me I could read like a good book. I was still going along with the open heart surgery. So when he called me the night before he said the original doctor was out of town & his replacement doctor graduated with him from Medical School. So he asked him to check it out as he wouldn’t be stepping on anyone’s toes then.
3 Ask yourself if you were gearing up for open heart surgery for a month dealing with your families worries & your own . Then the night before the surgeon calls you up & says oh by the way since the original doctor isnt here I’m going to have my buddy take a second look at your surgery.
So in essence I didn’t have open heart surgery because a doctor just happened to go on vacation.
WOULDNT THAT BOTHER YOU ?
25:59 I truly wish she had just asked, “does calling for the genocide of black people go against policy?”
WOW. I didn't know Heather said that. I posted this a few days ago. "Would calling for the genocide of Black people be a violation of student conduct or context-dependent?"
The biggest problem with universities is too many administrators compared to the number professors.
We need to tear everything down and rebuild from scratch on first principles
Mac Donald is truly awesome !!!
Go Heather McDonald. Thanks for the clarity. Articulated beautifully.
I'm really feeling this rise in mediocrity at the low and high level. My local big chain mini mart had small square wholemeal sandwich bread slices prominently displayed, for a month or so. When I asked if they'd ran out the manager looked at me with a puzzled look. He then ' reminded' me that the absence of certain items is due to it being part of an end to the run of a surplus which had been endured by the chain as a whole.?....At the high end I can't tell you how many times me and my doctor have both sat infront of a screen googling my symptoms.
Speaking as someone who went to high school in a predominantly black setting, where I was a minority white guy, let me just interject at the 1:00:01 timeframe here… I went to a middle and high school in the early 2000’s (graduated 2007)… literally I think all my classes (especially math and science) had no textbooks to give us. We had printouts if our teacher made them for us. Our football team was on its way to state, my teachers were also football coaches, that’s what was important (the sports). We were not in an inner city, but a poor community on the outskirts. At one time the school was in the top in Texas.
Parents can’t force their kids to bring home textbooks in my upbringing, because we didn’t have them. Period.
I ended up homeschooling myself from high school on to college shortly in the middle. All my classmates from my high school were in remedial courses when I went to college (as was I, for math, but many of them were in it for all of the main subjects, and I mean all).
My school system was literally shut down and absorbed by another school system that was also known around that time as not being any good for education but they couldn’t shut down all the school systems in a 20 mile radius… but that was our reality.
So sometimes, it’s not as simple as encouraging the parents to have their kids read a book. Sometimes it’s not even available for a single student.
Speaking as someone who understands the parent (in my case) can make all the difference. What saved me? I taught myself from high school onwards. And learning early on no one would be there for me. Not a single person.

Guys, the number of ads in your video is extremely intrusive snd annoying!
Hahah! The guy who allowed her to yell and curse at him is weak. “If you want to speak to me you better come correct.”
Can we have that in English?
Nope!
Absolutely disgusting the way the students treated that professor and even worse was that the university leadership rewarded it. Reprehensible.
Yeah, disgusting. Reminded me of Evergreen with Brett and Heather. It's truly shocking.
If going to Harvard is oppressed can I get that type of oppression?
