Look at US institutions now, the ruling govt is trump, but many universities are anti trump

trump is just the president

Leader of the govt

de jure

My point still stands

Institutions don’t just blindly follow the current rulers

de facto the us government is just a regulatory apparatus subject to regulatory capture by plutocrats

academic institutions serve them

Not really

The current biggest lobbyists are oil and fossil fuels etc

But academic institutions are pro green on the whole

I mean you already see what neglecting humanities lead to: people can't discuss things already, it's all emotional tugging and 'there are no wrong people just good and evil people' mentality

I’d argue that’s due to a focus on shit humanities

Gender studies and such

oil and fossil fuels don't represent the plutocracy as a whole + climate science isn't a social science

it's generally easier to bend softer sciences to one's will

Whereas yes, if more people studied law history and philosophy

Yeah I'd say the shit humanities is what you get for neglecting the proper ones

We’d have better arguments and debates overall

ie economics, sociology

No expectations, no goals, no adversity in Western humanities at this point

It's also related to paying edu providers per degree handed out etc I heard that's happening :p not sure how Tru it is anywhere actually

Urmmm

I’d say education has gone downhill in the UK due to lack of funding but also due to the opening of too many shit universities

N word

The fact of the matter is, some people aren’t suited for academia

And that’s okay

But they’re told they have to go to UNI

but yeah the degree to which there is a consensus on anthropogenic climate change despite the incentives being there to reject it is one thing that makes me find it to be very convincing

And we get all these shit universities with shit degrees

What incentives to reject climate change?

the fact that it's in the interests of those who hold power to reject it

And it is an INTERNATIONAL consensus

Oh so you agree there is man made climate change?

yes

Oh okay cool

I would not be so sure.

it seems quite likely

My bad, misunderstood you

There is a LOT of self-hatred and anti-"west" sentiment, climate change caused by evil whites fits into this postcolonial theory perfectly
