You gotta love KZbin. Redirecting people to Wikipedia from the national association of SCHOLARS lmao. Couldn't get more ass backward if they tried.

These ladies are the greatest.

What a great conversation. Thank you. I took a course with him at the University of Pennsylvania back in 1986 or so. It was very inspiring. I believe that John Dewey’s book a common faith also tackles the question of what to do in a pluralistic society dominated by political liberalism.

1:16:00 yea I bet if you taught them Harry Potter they would all of a sudden perk up like someone let a breath of fresh air in too. They all perk up when you get to Poe because you actually have to work to understand authors like Melville and people have a natural aversion to hard work. It's the difference between mere entertainment and literature.

I love this author and have listened to his book Big Intel several times through on Audible. It's top notch and confirmed what I woke up to many years ago, how the Marxist subversion is taking place. He does excellent job of showing it historically. Tip though guys, work on your volume balance. He comes in real loud at times while host comes in too quiet. Get up closer to mic or whatever. Also I'm gonna look but I hope you guys are on Rumble. I'm so tired of censorship and ads on YT these days

OK, this video is from several months ago, but I just read most of these comments. One person claimed that Stock looks like a drunk. Having seen several videos of Stock, it appears to me that she is battling a head cold or an allergy attack. As a liberal, I cannot get other liberals to educate themselves regarding this issue. Every liberal I know, and liberal commenters I've chatted with online all buy into the trans radical activist position that a "trans woman" is a woman, and anyone who disagrees is a bigoted transphobe. Trans radical ideology is the most pernicious ism I have ever encountered in my life.

Men will and have lost their tenure, but Amy - for some reason - is protected from Lossing tenure and treated like us little-people are. Correction to Paul du Quenoy's answer of tobacco in Lebanon - it is never father value-raised & mother finely-shaped white man that are the delusional-psycho VagFeelie Fem-Nazis that push for such policies as non-smoking.

When the English parliament outlawed slavery were there any geopolitical motivations to do so. Specifically, did they have an interest in setting the precedent in order to exasperate the tension between the slave holding states and the northern states in the U.S? At the time was it in there interests to weaken the U.S?

Sex is not binary because you have Inter-sex people

@45:50 "... these new markets in teenage flesh ..." So important to this debate. And one feels the same rage that momentarily flashes across Kathlene's expression. I am still rageing. She, on the other hand, contains the anger instantly, presumeably because she has a far more rational. philosophical and focussed voice than I do. In my defence, I just got through an hour and twenty minutes of enrageing Judith Butler straw-manning terfs, popes and socialists here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZmvp2WtgJV4p9U

Dynamite! SOLID. Thank you.

It's very jading to see everything from a gendered lens.

Outstanding work.

David Randall talks too damned much. You are scholars, oh yeah. Quit the niceties and fussiness and get on with opening so great a fount of wisdom upon the world of literature. I noted you had only eleven comments after posting this video two years ago. This makes perfect sense to me.

Iowa is a place of ethnic bigotry

15 minutes in and so far it is all focussed on her professional grievances. Not a persuasive way to start out your conversation. Are you interested in dispassionately discussing your thoughts on gender or what?

In answer to the question posed about physicians, I have been pushing back, hard, for over three years!

Thought this was a rogan interview😂😂

Excellent conversation

U Penn is bullshit. Wax is amazing, and her point is correct that the students as U Penn and other Ivys only get one point of view, and this is a major issue.

Never heard of Weiss, she is excellent, but ouf I can how she makes enemies of the woke.

Hats off to these dangerously reasonable women. How galling the lack of full, rational discourse in our time on emotional topics.

I just want to say thank you for this series. I am 32 years old and feel like my knowledge about my own country is very lacking.

This is sad, and is why enrollment is increasing at schools where people think more critically than this, and hatred of Israel by faculty isn't ignored. The fact that a Cornell professor stated the Oct. 7 murders " exhilarated" him should disturb all people. ( Russell Rickford, an associate history professor)

Evil woke! It’s all about power. A kind of new dominant oppressive religion.

National treasures.

Well said, the three of you. You clarified the muddied waters!

When I watched this I was reminded of the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz and how loud she was in dying when a house fell on her for some odd reason, it's just the first image that came into my head. I'm still trying to make sense of it.

Follow up on Momodou Taal's suspension, in today's Cornell Daily Sun. Taal was the guy with the bullhorn in the video. Taal was suspended following the incident where demonstrators pushed their way in to the Statler Hotel to disrupt a job fair being held there. He had been previously suspended for similar disruptive actions during Cornell's tent encampment last academic year. Cornell has now rescinded his suspension. He is still not allowed to come on to campus, but will be allowed to submit and defend his dissertation online. That action removes any threat to his student visa status, and so Taal will not face the deportation proceedings that might follow from losing his student visa. There has been a great deal of gaslighting the past couple of weeks about Cornell "deporting" Taal. No, Cornell doesn't have that authority, but Taal being suspended would invalidate the conditions for his student visa. That would open him up to deportation, but does anyone reasonably think he would actually be deported? He did illegally enter the Statler Hotel and participated in the disruption to the job recruitment fair being held there. There is a lot of gaslighting going on about how Cornell is suppressing his free speech rights. No, ludicrous as his speech was, his suspension followed from the illegal act of trespassing in the Statler Hotel and interfering with other students wanting to participate in the recruitment fair. Question: why isn't Cornell (or the Ithaca Police) charging Taal with trespassing? Cornell says that it is using video and photographic evidence to pursue disciplinary actions against other student trespassers. Given what we have seen here, all I can say is ... we'll see.

## A Discussion on Academic Freedom and Repression The transcript presents a panel discussion and audience Q&A featuring three academics: Elizabeth Weiss, Frances Widdowson, and Amy Wax. All three have faced significant professional challenges and even threats to their careers due to their outspoken views on controversial topics, views that often challenge prevailing academic orthodoxies. **Main Themes and Messages:** * **The Erosion of Academic Freedom:** The transcript powerfully illustrates the concerning trend of diminishing academic freedom within universities. All three speakers provide firsthand accounts of how they have been targeted, ostracized, and even punished for expressing views that deviate from dominant ideological perspectives. * **The Rise of "Woke" Ideology and its Intolerance of Dissent:** The discussion points to the pervasive influence of "woke" ideology within academic institutions. This ideology, characterized by an emphasis on identity politics, social justice activism, and a perceived hypersensitivity to offense, is portrayed as stifling open inquiry and creating a climate of fear and self-censorship. * **The Personal Costs of Speaking Out Against Academic Orthodoxy:** The speakers share their personal experiences of the negative consequences they have faced for challenging accepted narratives. These consequences include online harassment, professional setbacks, and attempts to damage their reputations. They highlight the chilling effect this has on other academics who might be hesitant to express dissenting views for fear of similar repercussions. * **The Role of Institutions in Silencing Dissent:** The transcript criticizes the complicity of universities and other institutions in suppressing dissenting voices. Speakers argue that university administrations, faculty senates, and even academic unions have often failed to uphold principles of academic freedom and have instead bowed to pressure from activist groups or internal ideological factions. * **The Importance of Resisting Ideological Conformity:** The speakers emphasize the importance of defending academic freedom and resisting the pressure to conform to prevailing ideologies. They argue that open inquiry, critical thinking, and the free exchange of ideas are essential for the pursuit of knowledge and the health of academic institutions. **Character Analysis:** * **Elizabeth Weiss:** A physical anthropologist, Weiss speaks about her opposition to repatriation laws that mandate the return of Native American skeletal remains for reburial. She argues that these laws prioritize religious beliefs over scientific inquiry and limit research opportunities. She comes across as a strong advocate for scientific rigor and a fierce critic of postmodern influences in her field. * **Frances Widdowson:** Widdowson, a political scientist, details her dismissal from Mount Royal University due to her critiques of Indigenous policy in Canada and her skepticism regarding claims of "cultural genocide" at residential schools. She is presented as a meticulous researcher unafraid to challenge widely accepted narratives, even when those challenges lead to significant personal and professional costs. * **Amy Wax:** A law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Wax discusses her ongoing battles with her university over her controversial views on immigration, affirmative action, and cultural differences. She is portrayed as a sharp and witty commentator on social and political issues, willing to engage in debate even when her positions are unpopular. She is critical of the university's attempts to silence her and emphasizes the importance of academic freedom. **Emotional Tone:** The overall tone is one of serious concern and, at times, indignation. While there are moments of humor and witty observations, the speakers' frustration with the current state of academic freedom is palpable. * **Frustration:** All three speakers express frustration with the attacks they have endured and the silencing of dissenting views within academia. * **Determination:** They also display a resolute determination to continue speaking out against what they perceive as ideological conformity and the erosion of academic freedom. * **Apprehension:** There is a sense of apprehension about the future of academic inquiry if these trends continue. **Language and Style:** * **Direct and Unapologetic:** The speakers use clear and direct language, avoiding euphemisms or hedging their opinions. * **Personal Anecdotes:** They effectively use personal anecdotes to illustrate the challenges they have faced and to make their arguments more relatable. * **Scholarly References:** The discussion includes references to historical events, legal cases, and the work of other scholars, demonstrating the speakers' academic backgrounds and grounding their arguments in broader intellectual contexts. **Contextual Significance:** The transcript is part of a panel discussion organized by the National Association of Scholars (NAS), an organization known for its advocacy for academic freedom and its critique of ideological trends in higher education. The event provides a platform for academics who have experienced negative consequences for expressing controversial views. **Subtext and Implications:** * **The Broader Culture Wars:** The transcript reflects the ongoing cultural and political divisions in society, particularly regarding issues of race, ethnicity, and social justice. * **The Polarization of Academia:** The discussion highlights the increasing polarization within academia and the challenges of fostering open dialogue and intellectual diversity. * **The Potential Consequences for Higher Education:** The speakers raise concerns about the potential long-term consequences for the quality of education and scholarship if universities continue to suppress dissenting voices. **Personal Interpretation:** The transcript presents a sobering account of the challenges to academic freedom in contemporary higher education. The speakers' experiences raise important questions about the role of universities in promoting open inquiry and the free exchange of ideas. While the speakers represent a particular perspective, their concerns deserve serious consideration, as the erosion of academic freedom ultimately threatens the intellectual vitality and societal value of higher education.

So Cornell University has become the University of Spoiled Brats in the Ivies.

Impressive discussions. I found Professor Fogel's comments on the work particularly illuminating. William James's "Varieties of Religious Experience" could very well be paired with Henry James's novella.

When was this video recorded? Anyone know?

1:01:13 Crime and Punishment Dostoyevsky

I think that PTSD created by king Philips war played a role in Salem witch trials. I had ancestors in both sides of Salem witch trials. There were land grabs and petty local rivalries involved in the Witchcraft allegations and trials. Brother of the Towne sisters was my ancestor. Putnam’s and Salem village (Danvers people) were illegally cutting down trees for wood that were owned by the Towne family and when the Towne family complained the got accused of Witchcraft.

I always liked history. After it turned out that 1/3 of 1600s New Englanders with wikipedia pages were my ancestors history got even more interesting. 1 half of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts towns in 1670 had my ancestors living in them.

It was too late in 1670 for native Americans to retain their freedom. Natives were doomed. What would have happened if John Cotton was still alive in the 1670s. Cotton was moral enough and Tolerant enough to oppose killing Anne Hutchinson. Native Mexican DNA survived by marrying Spanish people. But there was a lack of Spanish women.

I understand that medical intervention can potentially be very dangerous, but most of her talk is absolute prattle ...for a lesbian( who are marginalised themselves) to do such 'othering' is unfortunate ...Gender debate is about justice and equity rather than name calling and condescension that both the guest and the host amply display ....Judith Butler has more refined and well thought out arguments to support her claims ....the speaker doesn't have any of them ...sorry

Bit irritating listening to the interviewer stumbling so painfully but Dr. Stock is supurb

It is good to be courageous and stand your ground for what you think is right.

I think he's impersonating his twin brother BookerT. Bradshaw.

Amy Wax has spent her entire life with that hooked nose of hers in books without learning anything about normal human behavior. The purpose of education is action. Having more degrees than the people who sign your checks isn’t what I call winning.

The academy is lost. It won't be won back. We need new institutions.

I was there at this demonstration. Although I was pro-Israel to begin with, the speakers at this protest presented no evidence nor reasonable arguments to change my heart or mind. I actually thought that the protesters acted more like toddlers with rage than with Ivy League students with reason. This is what is a perfect example of the depths the Ivy League has descended to at taxpayers expense.

Why do so many of them have masks on?
