I think there's like so much that's gone wrong with science, so much that's gone wrong with pretty much every part of the humanities where it's been conquered by ideology. And the other thing that's crazy, the administrations at these top universities have tripled in size on average. So you have more administrators at Harvard and Yale than you have students. No way. Yeah, it's crazy.

What are they doing? they're doing like lots of policy for virtue signaling and for making sure that they can hire other bureaucrats and making sure these bureaucrats like put out all sorts of like, you know, like stuff about whatever the topic of the day is and whatever programming they need for the students to make sure the students are, you know, feel guilty about their race or whatever.

I don't know if ramp up's the right word, but what happened is that there was a march through the institutions, right, as the famous communists discussed. And these institutions were conquered by extreme ideologues, right? There's been multiple studies of this where, like, the administrators are pretty much universally to the hard left of the professors and their activists.

And so these activists have conquered these institutions. It's not like... It's active conquer, right? And so now are they going to be virtue signaling as much about things like DEI in today's culture? Of course, they're going to be a little quieter about that because they don't want to get pissed off the donors and get fired. Wave the flag.

So they're not going to, but are they going to keep controlling things the same way with these insane values? Yes. And are they going to like all of a sudden not conquer the institution anymore or give it up to someone else? No way.

And these things are still completely conquered. And I think people are, they think of it the wrong way. They're like, oh, well, it'll probably just fix itself. Like, no, these people are in charge. The layer of administrators are in charge. The professors run their departments. The lawyers at the university set the rules.
