In the UK it was the expansion promoted by Tony Blair in early 2000s which had a huge impact on our attitudes to further education - the period when it was suddenly common to hear the phrase "going to Uni" which diminished the word and concept both literally and metaphorically. One result of this, I suspect, was that abstract thinking such as post-colonial theory, gender theory, or the works of Derrida and Foucault, began to be taken not as theory, but as fact...because it is really only an elite who will who have the understanding, patience and interest to play with abstract ideas. And when no essay can be handed in without a lacing of such ideas, they become the marker for the educated mind, and (ironically) for the capacity to think critically; i.e. the notion of thinking independently has been usurped by the notion of seeing through an accepted critical lense which is in itself not to be challenged. When studying Translation Studies, for example, students are required to look through the lenses of colonial theory, Bourdieu etc as well as the latest theories within translation...rarely are they asked to think independently about what translation might mean, or to grapple with the real problems of translation. The same goes for Women's Studies which has wandered from the path of historical research or statistical analysis.

1:29:00 bc of capital lady - the predatory non even bankrupt escapable student loans *& university rampant price hikes* : free education, certainly first degree, is important. or teach trades at the same schools! (plus you are WAY underestimating the horrors and impacts of war, it shapes everything. in fact, another war & deeper depsn wld also fix this) _JC

I love this woman. She is a true inspiration. I wish I could marry her. Seriously, I've never seen anyone, in the intelligentsia or whatnot, this fearless, this direct, when it comes to whatever, the woke menace, or whatever you'd call it. And confidently and with such easy conviction decrying it for what it is.... And the fact that it's a woman, who apparently deeply respects what you might call traditional values, which essentially means the warm and rewarding ways in which people live, and at the same time espousing a sincere feeling for and belief in socioeconomic equality and justice, and effortlessly and sincerely combining the two as if its the most natural thing you could do.... When IMO the phenomonen of 'wokeness', and it's flourishing and metastasizing, and co-opting by the PMC and the various powers that be to be weaponized at their discretion, is largely the work of self-interested, ambitious women, flush with all the powers and privileges that feminism has given them.... makes it triply awesome.

While I agree with most of this, as a Remainer, I think your analysis of Brexit is simplistic to the point of misinformation. A return to the university grant system in the UK might change things so we return to the idea of education as a benefit to society in general and not just a commodity to be purchased. Surely the detriment to challenging debate is going to be to the disadvantage of capitalism soon/eventually. Personally I would like to see government intervention in the only way that is now possible - the regulation of degree standards. If I were an employer I would not accept a degree achieved under the kind of university regimes you describe.

The fact that Ms. Williams needs to expend so much time and eloquence on explaining why academic freedom of speech is important, and that it is disappearing, is sad and tragic. I don’t see a way back, at least not during my lifetime.

A hospital Consultant I met socially was mystified as to why I voted pro-Brexit. I said that once an Organisation starts murdering journalists I think it has lost all claims to respectability. I cited the case of Jan Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kusnirova, of Slovakia, who were gunned down in true mafia style outside their flat. Jan Kuciak, aged 28, was investigating *the infiltration of the EU by the 'NDrangheta*. My interlocutor questioned the strange foreign word which was obviously new to him. His whole demeanour, including facial expression and body language, told me that he assumed that I was using neologisms, and was 'ipso facto', probably schizophrenic. I told him I was referring to the Calabrian Mafia, and he eventually seemed to accept this after having it confirmed by a young man who was present.

Brexit result: 'The poor darlings didn't understand it - it's too complicated for them. They need to have another shot at it. I'm sure they'll get it right if they are just given a second chance - next month, say - to choose the right thing'. The week after the Brexit Referendum result, a substantial weekly newspaper in four colours appeared, and has appeared every week since, called 'The New European'. Who funds this?

I wish understood better what woke or wokeism actually is. It seems as best I understand it related to concepts of social justice. A notion I'm not unsympathetic towards. My understanding was that woke is a phrase that originated among black civil rights activists in the USA meaning being alert to injustice. On the surface that doesn't seem problematic, it seems problematic to me when I see how gender ideology has developed and influenced the world and it has silenced views that go against the prevailing view. The authoritarian element and telling people you can't think or question something will always be a problem to me from whatever direction it comes. But the loudest or most prominent voices that criticised things for being woke as a pejorative term often come across as total snowflakes themselves. In popular culture when a movie studio makes a film and a fictional character is played by an actor of a different race or gender than was the norm often caused a degree of uproar and consternation far beyond what seems rational. If you're getting upset that a mermaid isn't white you might have some issues. Same if you get angry that a character in a comic was an old man and then is portrayed as a women in the film and you're spewing bile about there is something wrong with you. There are areas where more diversity doesn't strike me as intrinsically bad, but there are ways of encouraging or enforcing it that could be. It certainly not untrue that lots of people have been underrepresented in certain areas and there are systemic reasons that would have continued unless we tried to address that. But it's possible in trying to fix one injustice you can create another. The same as asking students to do a sexual harrasment awareness course doesn't immediately strike me as a problem, we'd like less sexual harrasment and assaults in the world but yes saying you can't graduate until you do or any other mandatory here's what to think not how to think training course is a slippery slope towards damaging freedom.

Ok. I said this in another video in this series.. using the power of free speech to make changes in the world doesn't always mean talking. I am an American, so my right to free speech is protected....in a public space.. which a university is NOT. A university is a business and therefore can restrict speech via policies.. however as a business the are ultimately after profit. The professors are there to teach.. the higher-ups such as the dean and the people who actually own the business are there to make money and they can't do that without teachers... So if, using the internet to organize, all and I do mean all of the college professors all over the world who want the woke policies to go away suddenly refuse to teach until they do things would change...as a professor at any four year college you all make enough money each year to have enough set aside to hold out longer than the institution is going to be able to... Simply showing up to teach and standing there silent for the whole class each and every day might work, but probably just walking off the job en masse until they change the policies and they revert back to a place where free speech and the free exchange of ideas are possible would definitely work. I didn't say it would be easy.. but what revolution is? And this woke movement might actually require a revolution of sorts to fix it. I don't know how it is in the UK, but in America a college education is sought out to secure a higher pay check each month or year it has not been sought out as a means to achieve a higher education and level of enlightenment for a long time. Don't be fooled. Capitalism is what is driving this crap. It's quite simple, young people are a cash cow for universities and young people are screaming for safe spaces so the college is giving it to them to gain enrollment and therefore revenue. Still no teachers= no 💰 so use your "voice" and hit the institution where it hurts. 🙂

enlightenment is wrong name, it is when this darkness started

What kind of accent is that? When she says words like "days" the annunciation is really funny... it sounds like Australian or something
