You know what is also scary, that most of higher education is also aligned in the same political direction. It's almost as if there is some correlation that comes with education


That correlation has to do more with self selection rather than some natural order.


Are the higher educated from Brazil, Russia, China, Egypt, Japan, Poland, and Algeria also aligned in this same direction? And do you know what happens to the higher educated that don't toe the line? Here's a hint:

James Watson's DNA Nobel Prize sells for $4.8m - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30346903

And here's more than a hint: unless you're publicly committed to this same political direction, 20% of all academic jobs in the US are officially closed to you [1]. The un-official denial rate is surely even higher.

Or you know, brainwashing is prevalent in higher ed in case you have not noticed.
