Rather than all the useless ineffectual discussions that happens whilst a minority at Stanford continues to impose their views on the majority, what can be done to push back in a way that actually changes things?
- malandrew 4y agoI don’t know the answer here but I imagine a cultural attitude that reserves the greatest shame for anyone expressing authoritarian attitudes of any flavor. The problem we have today is that people will look at disdain for one flavor of authoritarianism as an argument to impose a competing flavor of authoritarianism. Those with an authoritarian tendency exploit this dynamic actively such that societies are constantly oscillating between the different authoritarian policies, accumulating more liberty reducing rules with each swing of the pendulum.

There is a bunch of rich dudes, like Soros and Pritzker, that create grants for supportive admins, professors and teachers. For example, a grant may require one to publish 5 papers on certain topics every year, or enact policies in your workplace. They get addicted to the grants, and eventually get used to the new way of thinking, so no grants are even necessary.
