Topic: Matt: Why do you think academia is so "left-wing"?

Personally, I think it's because conservatives are generally less intelligent.

Indeed, facts tends to have a liberal bias.

The interesting thing is that most educational facilities, at least at the community college level, encourage disagreement among students as it leads to discussion and expanded knowledge. The only sad part is that conservatives are more likely contest facts that are brought up along with evidence to support them. I knew two guys in my Anthropology Lab course who contest the theory of evolution and held a conservation while sounding like complete tots retar and always disrespected the teacher to where she felt like she received no love from them.

So a doctor, lawyer, police officer, and firefighter aren't "real jobs"?

It really is not. Fox News, etc. Like to make it out that professors are all recruiting Marxists, but not so. It does tend to be more left-wing than not, though, and I think it is because people who study and learn, are forced to view the world from other perspectives. The “they did it ion my small town so they should do it that way everywhere” conservative mentality breaks down when one experiences the world and other points of view.

Let me know when you can create something of value with critical theory and navel gazing.

Why do you believe that knowledge is without value?

Critical theory isn't knowledge.

So you could just apply for those jobs like you would for a job at McDonald's, alright then?

You still have to go to school and receive training, bud.

@855,501 (..... !2Nu9nWUn.U)
This is the first time I agree with you. It seems like once you start exposing yourself to other views and the world you quickly break out of the more self driven nature of the conservative ideology. But this isn't always the case, as I have seen some conservatives that remain true to their values, but know how to adapt such values to better accommodate their new knowledge. I respect such conservatives who managed to do that, but it seems like once they get going in the business world they return to being utter and total pricks.

Critical theory creates knowledge, and hones the means to find knowledge.

a job that requires academic training is not academia
academia is staying within the educational/research system

The correct word is "in", not "ion".

And you like to correct others grammar mistakes. Dumbass.
