It is not just neo-racism and neo-sexism.
It is also a weird kind of neo-feudalism, excluding outsiders that cannot or won't fit the expected mold. In the court of Versailles, you had to behave according to a certain stiff etiquette. If the same is required in institutions of higher learning, how many really creative people will be willing to put up with it?

- ethbr0 4y agoFair point. The 60s wouldn't have happened without the 50s. The 90s without the 80s. Artistic creativity brews strongest when there's an omnipresent dogma to reject, and the current pastiche of thoughtlessly-implemented progressivism is fertile ground. It's been bubbling up in standup comedy for a while, but that tends to be the quickest turnaround on cultural commentary. No nuanced good idea ever survives contact with a brainless bureaucracy.
- jimmaswell 4y ago> If the same is required in institutions of higher learning Can you give an example? At my colleges there were no rules about "stiff etiquette"
- tsunamifury 4y agoTech companies have crazy stiff etiquette and at its worse point hr people were butting into meetings on demand and correcting behavior in real time. It was … creepy.
