My university sacrificed ideas for ideology, so today I quit
<i>Students at Portland State are not being taught to think. Rather, they are being trained to mimic the moral certainty of ideologues.</i><p>They have been taught the magnitude of their outrage makes them righteous. And their outrage is never satiated. These people are toxic and sometimes evil. They'll eventually come for you too no matter how much you generally agree with them.<p>Some of them are certainly sincere. But as Milton Friedman once said, "sincerity is an overrated virtue". The damage they cause is the same irrespective of how sincere they might be.
