It's every college and every public school.
Not at all. For example, the University of Chicago created an academic charter called the "Chicago Statement" to focus on academics and solidify freedom of speech, not activism. UofC *eliminated* their football team (which was a good team) in order to prioritize academics as the football program was causing the school to move towards a sports franchise, like many public schools. Purdue University, as another example, hasn't raised tuition in 10+ years (they make Chinese students offset costs thru remote degree programs such as Purdue Global). Look up "Heterodox Academy" setup by Jon Haidt (he wrote "Coddling of the American Mind"). It has a list of Universities that aren't propogandists like the Ivy's or private liberal arts schools. - schools you should WANT to go to.
Lex never fails to disappoint me with his insular naivete
Literally will never know how he popped off and became popular
I watch it out of spite
@@Zennsunni thats how he popped off ^^^
@@bananafoneable fingers on the algorithm
He's an agent that's why he gets guests like Jeff Bezos
Does Lex not realize that engineering students are like 5% of any typical university?
And yet make the lights turn on and the world go 'round.
You mean electricians?@@swesleyc7
And it isn't as though Engineering is harmless. It used to be the sciences were under suspicion, because they build, say, atomic bombs, and the people there seemed willfully blind to moral questions. But now the engineers continue to build Frankensteins, and the humanities departments' role as a moderation influence is to set the intellectual stage for the end of civilization. I think they call this kind of thing the Singularity. The real one, not the fake one where we all live happily for ever in a video game.
@@swesleyc7 not quite true. The pipe fitters, power plant techs, the line men, the working men make the system work. Note, I have a degree. My son is an engineer. A good number of power plant techs are actually former US Navy ship power plant men. My son is still involved with his school's "indy" car team. The people they hate the most are the LGBTQ+ crowd. Why? They are "special" and never make their deadlines.
Lex: “Universities are not corrupt institutions inculcating elite ideologies”
Also Lex: “MIT is full of engineers that are developing the technology that will save the world.”
Lex is like if paint drying was a person
This video was barely insightful. Micheal didn't even get to describe how he would go about doing what he said... It was just Lex pouting in his chair.
For an intelligent person Lex displays an incredible naïveté
Never underestimate an intellectual’s ability to believe their own bullshit.
Podcasters have to play devil's advocate to appear fair and balanced.
I think Lex is thinking about STEM classes, maybe they have fewer of those issues. But funding for research and what gets studied are also heavily influenced by politics. Maybe there's a better way.
11:20. Where has Lex been living. The major Universities forced their students to take COVID vaccines which is a violation not only of their human rights, but of everything we know about testing products, and not vaccinating into pandemics etc... And this was because they were beholding to their funders, took more money from corporations, than in tuition.
Before American universities can be taken down, the cultural obsession with college must be stopped. Kids are being conditioned to just mindlessly go to college and pursue a degree without even considering a cost/benefit analysis or considering alternatives. As long as it’s perceived as the cool, trendy thing that everyone is doing and THE path to success, then nothing will change.
Wonder what Alex would say now, after the MIT dean was put before congress.
*Among many other issues, the excerpt below is not what is being said in this video...*
*_"The college curriculum devoted to mathematics, the classics, languages, grammar, history, and rhetoric was transmuted into the baser metals of vocational education, citizenship, health science, homemaking, commercial English, secretarial skills, and accounting-all valued because of their practical utility. "Culture" was to become more and more of an afterthought until, in its original, liberal, and liberating meaning, it occupied no place in the minds of American educators. It is important to observe that not only did the content of education change at this time but, at least of equal and perhaps of greater importance, so did its tenor: rapidly disappearing was the sense of reverence that characterized the teaching and the learning of the older curriculum. This reverence was not transferred to commercial subjects; instead it evaporated. The shift away from a higher learning devoted to culture was in fact, as we can now see clearly in looking back, a shift away from contact with values capable of eliciting reverence. The values of careerism and acquisition of money took their place, but reverence was a thing past"_*

Berea College is a non-denominational Christian college in Kentucky has not charged tuition since 1892. they pay for things out of their endowment. we should make universities behave like this.
For example, the University of Chicago created an academic charter called the "Chicago Statement" to focus on academics and solidify freedom of speech, not activism.

Lex, I hope you read this. When I see you, I see a little of myself. I'm 52 and I believe much of what you did until I was approximately 45. My world view couldn't make sense of what I was experiencing. I began a process of questioning all my core beliefs and I found that they were mostly all wrong. This was precipitated by my having children and thinking of their future. I'm not saying you need to follow this path. It was mine. Regardless, you are stuck in a recursive loop. You want to believe that all you core tenants about your life and your place in it are true, but when a viable source questions them, you essentially waffle. Be open to doubt and true self-introspection. It will change your life. Peace.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wazniak didn't need an MIT playground to create Apple.
What Michael describes is happening at Texas A&M. If it's there, it's everywhere. It's certainly at work at every university with a college of education.
Woke-ism/oikophobia/hate for "the west" was already prevalent in nearly every non-STEM course I took in college 15 years ago. History/liberal arts/literature etc etc.
It's much worse now apparently.
Lex explaining the his experience when "I'm in the system (2:43)" to the guy who studies the inefficiency and corruption of systems.
Think of how much farther humanity would have advanced if we all donated to research and development instead of throwing away money at Africa for 60 years.
You'd have to dismantle a lot of laws if you want humanity to flourish by donating research. Donating to research now just forwards a handful of R&D departments that use "intellectual property" laws after they were funded publicly.
@@Robot-Overlord Correct. Including insulin.
Alex is a typical technical nerd. Even 30 years ago, liberal art departments (philosophy, English, etc.) at technical schools had a lot of their own drama going on that real technical people didn't know about and didn't want to hear about (rightfully so). In their minds, it's still like that everywhere. It is not. It's not a "playground for kids" anymore, those who actually want to play can't do it without a "Karen mom" shouting at them. Playgrounds are cool, but Karens must be removed by cutting funding.
Freedom in science at universities?
Try discussing the climate?
Try discussing biology in regards to gender?
Lex is hanging by a thread here.
He shouldn't even bother doing these interviews when he hasn't slept and is so out of it like in this one.
College is a waste of time and money. If i had to do it again, i would skip college and work in the field I studied and learned and climbed the latter.
Excuse me, but does anybody know from which episode this is? I would like to watch this fully. I am surprised it was not in the footnotes.
My interaction with university standards and staff, maybe like Lex', was mostly limited to the required curriculum and the teachers. I saw no overarching aim for egalitarianism and world domination that Michael Malice says rules. The required curriculum seemed to only reflect the old, unproven theory that broad education fits a person for life best, and the teachers seemed a mix of enthusiasts pursuing and promoting their enthusiams, and others simply doing something to get paid. Later in life I used virtually nothing I 'learned' in university. I'd be happy to see universities done away with and replaced by trade schools and otherwise by research centers to which young people uninterested in trades could have a try at.
Most if not all of the greatest discoveries have been made by people outside their discipline!
MIT is an engineering focussed place so maybe they have a strong productive sense still, but that isnt Universities in majority. As for advances taking place in universities, yes overfunding them with hundreds of billions of free dollars and giving them a million tax benefits private companies do not have should occassionally output something, but the computer, the TV, The LED were not invented in universities.
I don't know if Malice has ever stated, but under his anarchy, who would the leaders of other countries come and speak to if they wanted something from America?
That depends on what they want. If they want a loan to fight a war, they would go to American banks or investors. If they want to extradite one of their citizens accused of a crime, they would go to the judge handling the case, if they want to make some kind of trade deal, they would go to the big companies that make the goods, or maybe an industrial group. If they want to build an embassy or a military base, they would go on the market to purchase the land, and maybe make their case to some community groups as well since they'll ultimately need local support for utility service, food, fuel, materials, goods and services.
@@troll_kin9456 I had actually come to a similar conclusion shortly after I posted that while thinking about it. I don't think there's any denying that anarchism comes with a whole other set of problems all it's own, but what doesn't? Thanks a lot, man.
Oh Michael you precocious little trouble maker😂
Lex here believes his experience as a top 5% student is the vast majority experience. In reality the administrative class within these universities and colleges are simultaneously providing what MM is talking about. A highly nonfunctional and openly antagonistic to higher level learning through subsistence education. Designed to provide a credentialed class that will permeate society as advocates and policemen for group think. The end result out current MSM and corporate bboards and admin doing everything within it's power to strengthen a single narrative that is both provably false and in direct competition with it's own self interest and mission.
If MIT wanted to be a research institution they would be what do you call it, a company, that does research and takes on for profit engineering jobs.
I think you would find they would have to fire a lot of wasted staff who dont get much done and research a lot of useless things
How much shit is acceptable in a sandwich?
I don't know, but it's always got to be served on complement bread. Or so I am told.
Love Mike Malice!!
Why is some of the best research in the world done at universities? Because they can get government funding, and sell out to Industry.
Michael Malice is the catalyst for transformation.
This is ridiculous gaslighting from Lex. I'm an engineering student, and I definitely go through all the stuff Malice states.
Lex is like a cancer patient telling his doctor, “My body is only a minority tumor, so what’s the problem?”
Defund universities now!
Lex started to say “universities don’t have this liberal agenda” 😂😂😂😂😂 @4:30
Talk about being lost 😂
The tortoise and the hair. The hair wins this one
Abolishing is changing.
Lex, imagine how much more the engineers could have accomplished if they weren’t even occasionally burdened with politics and the latest intolerant mind virus.
some of the stupidest people I met were in college, a lot of them professors.
Well, that's because the university works for people like Lex.
I think Lex is full of shit and I don’t trust him at all
Pretty much, or given some pats on the backs from the right people.
Lex, MIT is not a good example of woke universities.
The universities are a browse age technology in the age of the internet
You can't learn anything at a university that you can't learn with a library card or a trip to a bookstore.
Lex just doesn’t know the reality.
Lex needs to spend more time out of the bubble.
Is Lex talking about the 40’s and 50’s? He sounds dated.
just dont go to them
Lex... how about you stop sobbing for 5 minutes and just ask Micheal how he would go about getting rid of the univetsities...
Lex doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge reality, this 100% is definitely in the sciences dude, you can’t be this ignorant
haha all Lex can hear is: MIT bad.
I thought this guy was supposed to be smart
Typical engineer. No idea how the real world works around them.
This doesn't sound fascist at all, lol
Lex, let me help you. Your dad was a great math plasma physics guy who should have been paid 1 million a week.. Ok, what truly functional thing did he invent?..... See my point. Welcome to capitalism and if you don't like it YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE.
Indeed, such thought paths as this will lead us into another dark age: What does pressing the boundaries of human knowledge on all fronts bring? It is unknown literally by definition - go back to your capitalistic mind collar, work till you die for the benefit of the rich and never wonder or dream; you are part of a machine 🤖
lol. narrow vision.
