48:18 David is so good at breaking Strawmen. "Give me an example" and Jack just freezes in place. No you weren't "forced" to read, more than I was "forced" to read To Kill a Mockingbird. Even Graham throws him a bone, trying to give him a way out by pointing out that if the teacher was so inflexible then writing some pandering slop would've been the easiest A+ ever.

[@JohnSmith-yd5wq]

Exactly

[@tradfluteman]

His example was not being forced to read the book, it was his expectation that he had to analyze it a certain way. That expectation theoretically could have been real or imagined, but in today's climate, if a teacher operates in a political domain and doesn't go out of their way to make students feel like they can express diverse opinions, it is definitely because they're trying to pressure you. It's not even plausibly deniable. In college I took a class on socialism and the professor was very accommodating and clear about his welcoming opposing opinions. But I also took a politics 101 class where no such care was taken, and it eventually became brutally clear that the professor wanted us to only express leftwing opinions. He told us our job analyzing the writings of Edmund Burke, for example, was explicitly to figure out how to refute his philosophy.

[@tradfluteman]

In the socialism class, I was able to write a 31 page report on the genuine socialist influences behind Nazism, as opposed to other fascisms, and got an A+. From a recognized historian on socialism. Now that's intellectual freedom, and that's how college should be.

[@funcentral2439]

People's grade should not be determined by if they agree with the professor politically or not. I think that's the point that Jack was trying to make. Would you agree with the point that he was trying to make.

You youngsters should actually talk to a retired 65 or older retired..cause no one in their right mind wants to be forced to work till 80, you're young you don't know what old people enjoy after retirement it's the economy that forces retirees to get pushed back into the workforce and there isn't many young people really want to work with old people and that is more depressing to an older person, young people don't respect the elders, there to slow, there having hard time with computers, they bag your groceries slow, etc., but would you really want your own grandma and grandpa slaving away right now? and they do enjoy retirement..

Dissenting in opinion with teachers and professors is something I've done my whole life; often arguing positions I didn't sincerely hold to induce a more interesting conversation. I don't believe conservatives are generally afraid to share their true beliefs in educational environments. Perhaps it happens more often in less credible (more idealogical) higher educational institutions. I do sometimes hold my tongue in certain situations, but that's not because I fear for terribly negative responses, but because I don't see any value in the effort, especially if I'm just tired and the situation doesn't really call for it; it doesn't really matter for the discussion. If I'm making small-talk to a stranger on the train during the pandemic who complains about feeling pressured to take a vaccine he doesn't believe in, I'm not going to die on that hill. This also holds for crazy progressive ideas I hear on campuses. I just don't think any of them will come to anything, and if they ever do, I will be the first in line to argue against them; as it stands, however, the "ROI" of making to contention is too low.

1:13:30 then the next question is what is the level of pesticides used on GMO crops vs non-GMO crops and why would they even bother developing crops that are more tolerant of pesticides if they didn’t plan on using pesticides? Obviously there is nothing wrong inherently with GMO crops. We’ve been doing that for hundreds of years. Nobody who is serious about the topic actually thinks the danger comes from the crops themselves. How do we know this? Just look at the super expensive fruit in Japan. Those are all technically “GMO”, but nobody complains about the dangers of those fruits. GMO itself isn’t inherently bad. What’s done with it could be, as with most things humans do.

[@bingbong2179]

I agree GMOs are fine, but I disagree that people don't feel a danger in GMOs themselves. It's a very well known marketing to tactic to write things such as "all natural ingredients, No GMOs" in the same breath. Just through sheer repetition people have a natural negative idea of them. But I also think you've identified a clear case of people not really having a well founded view on a thing, e.g. they easily dismiss that view when they see really cool looking Japanese fruit. Alsoo, from a visual perspective seeing a juicy fruit in person is very different, to drinking a popper in which you don't see the ingredients. Essentially, it's easier to play off people's fears the less certain they are, and especially so when you highlight those fears and implant them in people like with most groceries. So, my point is seeing someone have a really cool looking fruit also plays on other factors than just the gmo bad thing. But yeah, I'm very pro GMOs, they've kept costs of food down a tonne, dramatically increased the efficiency of agriculture in general and are almost always beneficial. As useless background, I briefly worked for my state govenments agriculture department and looked at optimising crop layouts given you \have pedigree info on crops.

Balancing the budget should not be that difficult. Historically we've been able to capture, at most, ~17-20% of gdp without negative effect on economic growth. Next years budget can't exceed 18% of this year's gdp. Force Congress to operate without a massive deficit.

I would not call the framing of that question disingenuous at all. For example… If an employer requests an employee to send out an email by the end of the day, and if they don’t, they will be fired… Is that forcing the employee to do it? They could just say no and get fired… Or is that simply a requirement of the job? I think 2 things can be true at the same time. Also - I agree… always call out intellectually dishonest points. However that was not intellectually dishonest, the difference of using the term forced vs mandatory had nothing to do with the point I was making.

[@ktbn22]

I got an associates degree from a community College and it was fabulous. I went to state college for two semesters. I was taking sociology classes. I was absolutely told that I could not have a differnt opinion. That I was to listen and understand. The first time I tried to speak up was when we were discussing our Indigenous population. Many in the class were discussing them as if they were extinct. My professor clearly only knew what she had read in a book. I grew up in a State with a large native population. Large portions of my state are Reservations. Long story short. I made a comment about how harsh they have it and how our Native population need so much help and deserve so much more. I was basically told that I'm to emotional and ignorant to the suffering of the black people bc i live in a mostly "white" state. She said that to me in front of the whole class. I wish i could have gotten my bachelors at the community college, I learned so much more than at the state school.
