Universities–1 During my last decade as a practicing psychiatrist, I used to go regularly to the Harvard CME courses in Boston. I usually stayed in Cambridge- home to Harvard and MIT. I would go shopping and have a meal in Harvard Square and occasionally take a walk on the campus
I was immediately struck by the ” darkness of the vibe”( yes, I know that sounds too New-Agey for some but it’s a reality, nevertheless!) Darker than Broadway, darker than Congress and probably even darker than Wall St, If you can believe it!(At least there is the Reality of money there lol) For me, that said it all. These are places of delusion- even of evil! To be avoided whenever possible! If you can’t, because you want to be a doctor or lawyer then be aware and detox yourself, as I did, every time you get home!
God protect us!
Universities-2– more than almost any other social institutions- like Congress and the Supremely Foolish Courts and Public Health Institutions- are Palaces of Delusions! Highly competitive entrance requirements, $90 000 fees, stressed out final exams, tenured professors whose overall social contributions are most likely negative, brain-washing with CRT and Woke philosophy
And the totally unaware population that still believes in them?! It’s amazing that they haven’t fallen apart a long time ago. But as the old saying goes: “there’s none as blind as those who will not see” l
Universities-3 I am encouraged to see the chaos on U.S. campuses! There are much deeper issues than the Middle East at play actually. Even deeper than left-wing /right wing politics.The Universities are the Temples of the Cult of the Intellect as I have described on my blog. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FORM OF IDOLATRY IN THE WORLD TODAY-THE WORSHIP OF THE iNTELLECT. Until we get over that, none of our problems will be solved because this cult puts abstraction before Reality. So how can we solve problems when we are not in Reality?!
Places of darkness, expensive, propagandistic and cultish. I have a little experience of UK universities and they have similar qualities but perhaps to a lesser degree. Reality over abstraction is a very important point.
