    "my qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students"

    at first I thought, maybe unintentional dogwhistle, but then i got to this;

    "Some of my colleagues even allow themselves to undergo so-called anti-bias training, conducted by supremely unqualified Human Resources personnel"

    got to be deliberate

    Is it just me or has he really gone off the deep end since the whole benzos thing? Like, at one point, he was actually somewhat good at hiding far-right shit behind a veil of intellectualism, now, he can't help but just give away the game.

      It's actually kinda "impressive" how good he used to be at masking it. Like, years ago, right before he got big I heard him on a podcast. No idea who he was at the time. For the first 30 minutes I thought he sounded OK. As someone who for years was living on my own and didn't really take care of things, I had recently learned the mental benefits of having a nice, clean place. So I was like alright, this makes sense. Then he careened hard into his cultural Marxism BS and I was turned off, but I can see how he suckers people in who are inclined that way.

      The way he quit comes with the potential for permanent side effects. I think it's not unreasonable to think that either he fried his brain or that the benzos were there to cope with some mental health issue that is now completely untreated.

    I did the math, and realized I could make far more money per hour as a speaker at conservative events than I was ever making doing lectures. See ya, nerds!

          Tenured professors rarely get fired, it has to be some really big scandal for them to do that.

          Grifting insecure reactionary men isn't enough unfortunately.

            As always reactionaries complaining about professors being fired for political reasons is all projection
