The 'hollow university' produces technically competent but intellectually passive graduates—exactly what authoritarian systems prefer. New article and call-to-action coming on Monday on Substack.

Student debt isn't the only challenge, but it is a growing one. When graduates owe $38,000 average, they can't afford to question the system that indebted them. Critical thinking becomes a luxury good, restricted to a chosen few akin to the system in place just over a century ago.

Therein lies the danger.

I get the sarcasm.

But do consider how this enables a state of exception. Used to justify policies, actions, etc., for anyone or anything branded antifa through executive action and manic whim alone. Its, frankly, Schmittian.
