This was a wonderful Podcast, the first 2 thirds of it magnificent.
It continues to boggle the mind that we have professors of major universities who do not realize what a university is for. If we have supposed teachers in our institutions of higher learning who can’t grasp the idea that the reason a university exists is to open the minds of people, and to allow them to have access to the greatest minds we have to offer, and give out their points of view to eager young mind, who are eager and ready to listen, then where are we? Dartmouth ought to be ashamed of those professors who wish to inhibit these investigations into straightening the mind.
Then to follow that up with a discussion with Eva Moskowitz, who has proved that people from challenging backgrounds can learn, was truly inspiring.
The final part of this show is what I cannot figure out. Identity politics IS truly a horrible thing. It is harming this country, and the people it supposedly seeks to help. But to think that Donald Trump can be of service in combating it, as Dr. Bennett and many of his guests do, is a head-scratcher to me! I understand why many people voted for Trump. It is not hard to figure out, when people really begin to think about it. But to think that a man so self-absorbed and thin-skinned as he is could begin to sort out a problem he himself has contributed to, is to totally misapprehend the solution.
Great episode. Eva Moskowitz is a true American hero.
