The writing and thought in this piece is pretty facile. @rbrogan's comment below sums it up well. Let's remember that Nietzsche received a very rigorous education before his precocious career as a professor. Sure, there are pressures on the university that push its members away from independent and critical thought. But independent and critical thought has threatened institutions with volatility for a long time. I don't think the wilderness of pop culture is the best place to go looking for it.
