People have such strong delusions about universities (and they're so vocal about them too).
- neilv 10mo agoNot delusions. Ideals. And reactions to erosion.
- almostgotcaught 10mo agoYou can't have ideals about other people's things - you want to be idealistic (ideological?), feel free to start your own uni.
- neilv 10mo agoAcademia and higher education have long-established ideals, institutions receive considerations from society in light of that, and they are also supposed to be regulated in some ways (e.g., accreditation). I think a better defense than the libertarian "don't tell me what to do with my property" would've taken the angle that "university X isn't actually becoming a factory for pumping out techbro libertarian scourges of society".
