    B. An Ivy League education is overrated, but what you're really paying for is the opportunity to network / clout.

      Behold the return of the autodidact. Imagine knowing what you want to learn and then learning it without paying anyone, then applying that knowledge to your life in a way that makes you successful.
      Imagine that.

      That came across a little bit glib. I am only suggesting it would be interesting to see, in an era where information is so very easy to obtain, what a movement toward real learning could bring to a group of people fed up with the current gatekeepers of knowledge. It is the perfect landscape for autodidacts to flourish.

    C. It’s a social club that makes a little money on the side by hustling its brand (pretty much a paper mill). The fact that its own members are making a distinction between off and on site, is evidence enough of that.
    If AI can weed out dishonesty in academia, I am for it. When it comes to who we perceive as our erudite leaders in scholarship, there is no room for plagiarism.
    At what point does necessary investigation become a witch hunt? Makes me want to write a detective novel on the subject, possibly with tentacles.

    Having a degree diploma from Harvard (2002), I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to set it aflame. It's clearly not worth the paper it's printed on.

    Yeah, I feel like all those presidents had an offramp not sure why they all failed that basic test. Also just want to say I came for the cults and stayed for your personality.
    I also took classes through the Harvard Extension School and I just want to say they are the actual classes the Harvard students take, in some respects I find being an extension student is more difficult than the on campus "Harvard" experience. Since the teachers don't offer the same resources to the extension students but we are graded the same and have all the same deadlines etc. Not to mention most of the extension students work full time...
    Love ya videos!

    Is the Harvard Degree "bogus"? In some ways...these institutions and their benefits are only as valuable as what we as a collective society are willing to pay towards it. AND...that's the point. Ackman understands this...that if you devalue the worth of a degree, and rather specific institutions in the eye of the public, where does the value of education come from? It comes from where the rich and powerful say it comes from. College only stops being valuable in some people's eyes and it won't be those who can afford through their connections to garner value from it. Education...in many ways has been an equalizer, it hasn't been perfect, but it has helped. Those Ackman represent aren't interested in truth...they're interested in power. We think those who can afford to won't find ways to game even this new system? Like AI can't be used to pre check work for format of references and quotation marks?
    If anything should come from this it's a reevaluation of the weight we place on dissertations...there's people who can teach their asses off but can't contribute to the body of knowledge...but tons of weight is placed on originality. This won't create the world people are thinking it will.

    Imagine if there was a set criteria for how to cite sources for RUclips videos. And you stuck by that criteria. And then two decades later they changed that criteria. But instead of holding you to the citation requirements of your era, they, for political reasons, held your two decades old videos to the new criteria. Said you were plagiarizing, and got you demonetized, in your current day.
    This is what happened.
    Many of you have zero clue about academic writing or scholarly standards for citation, then or now. Because if you did, you'd realize why Claudine didn't plagiarize, and that this entire scandal is clearly about something else.

    • @zd4w9
      @zd4w9 9 месяцев назад

      This right here. APA, MLA etc. have changed. Even formatting has changed and it's really easy to technically plagerize by missing a citation. That's not even close to straight up stealing ideas or putting your name on someone's paper.

  • @Da1PrettyT
    @Da1PrettyT 9 месяцев назад +1

    I'm sorry but you could not be more wrong. Dr Gay's "plagiarism" was literally her forgetting to put in quotation marks but still citing the person in the footnotes or vice versa. Nobody who isn't a right wing shill believes she tried to pass another persons thoughts on as her own especially since she was citing her own thesis advisor (AKA co-author if you haven't done academic writing). This is another example of a black person being held to standard that nobody else is held.

      This was definitely a political takedown, but all 50 allegations can’t be explained away. One or two, well, language is limited but for all of them, it’s just too much. These are Cosby numbers. Here’s a link to an article and even taking Canon out, there’s just so many. And yes, Oxman seems to also be very guilty of plagiarism. freebeacon.com/campus/harvard-president-claudine-gay-hit-with-six-new-charges-of-plagiarism/
