Actually, there are a couple of papers on that, Jordan. I'm sure you've seen, I think, Corey Clark. I've read a couple, I think, showing basically the feminization of higher education over the last 50 years. But there's something else, listening to you, that... that just came into my mind. I don't know if you've read it.

There's a book by a psychologist called Luke Conway that came out, I think, a year ago called Liberal Bullies. And what he has done, which is fascinating, is he's gone back and looked at all the old stuff on right-wing authoritarianism and the scales that they used comparing right-wing authoritarians with left-wing authoritarians. And of course, the old argument, this is going back

50 years of social science was that you don't get left-wing authoritarians, you only get right-wing authoritarians.

And the whole literature, right, has just been debunked because what Conway is saying, well, if you actually, if you change the scales, because they were measuring right-wing authoritarianism differently from left-wing authoritarianism, if you use the same scales on both, what you find is that so-called liberals are actually more prone to authoritarian impulses and tendencies than conservatives.

And if anything explains the last 15 years in Western politics, the kind of Great Awakening, you know, all of the fanaticism dogmatism that we saw around Black Lives Matter and the social justice movement. It's this take. I read his book and I was like, there it is. So basically, social scientists were misleading everybody. I would say maybe they knew about it.

Maybe they were just lying to people. And here we have evidence that if you identify as highly liberal, you are more prone to authoritarian impulses than conservatives.
