Line 1: Line 1:
'''Academic freedom''' refers to a broad system of intellectual independence that enables genuine innovation, dissent, and cross-disciplinary thought.
Eric Weinstein sees Academic Freedom as a civilizational issue: without the ability to question orthodoxy and do original work on high-leverage, high-risk problems, societies lose the capacity for self-correction and innovation.

But it is also associated with secularism, Christianity, tolerance, '''academic freedom''', high standards and the west. And thus, it finds itself under attack from Turkey’s current government.

|content=Let me explain the previous slide of [[Boskin Commission|Boskin Commissioner]] Prof. Robert Gordon in plain English.
Harvard’s Samuel W. Morris Professor Dale Jorgenson told the Boskin Commission (created by the senators) that to shave an even one TRiLLION dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) off of social security payments they would merely need to justify an oddly specific 1.1% overstatement in the consumer price index.
Which they did. “Somehow”.
“Somehow” involved destroying anyone who said “[[CPI]] doesn’t work like that at all! It’s not a number you can dial to get consequences you like.”
@Harvard: if you want to have me back, I will debate anyone in your economics department as a former member myself that Harvard Economics frequently has acted as an arm of the USG to bury research or dissenting experts that contradicted the narratives set in DC.
We can discuss trade as well as [[Immigration|immigration]].
If you were standing for academic independence, I would be shoulder to shoulder with you. But you are disguising the actual relationship between Harvard and the Federal Government where Harvard often academically launders government narratives to push policy objectives down the throats of ordinary Americans as favors to power and DC.

The Theory of Index Construction
I assume if this [[Academic Freedom|academic freedom]] is important to you @harvard, you can afford to explore this in a seminar or two with a former member of the @HarvardEcon dept.
I can relay then what Professors explained to me at the time about how the real game is played with D.C. to an academic audience.
Veritas,
Eric

|content=Here is a challenge for any of my colleagues who think this is a [[Nothing Burger|nothingburger]]: given the craziness of the widely discussed and publicized claims in a field that has not seen a change in the Fundamental models of physics in 50 years (!), who are the 25 most prominent physicists and mathematicians who have discussed the @pmarca claims publicly? Nobel laureates? Fields medalists?</br>
Chaired professors worried about the health of science? Top science communicators? PhD level debunkers demanding @pmarca to put up or shut up?
In a functional world where scientists are not [[The Precariat|precarious]], it would be a *huge* topic of interest, discussion and '''academic freedom'''. Or it would be debunked. That’s it. There are no other options. Just those two.
Please leave your list below with links! 🙏

|content=A very interesting question is why academics almost uniformly make fun of conspiracy theories…when presented by colleagues at least.
Los Alamos, Tuskegee, Human Terrain Systems, etc. all involved conspiracy BY ACADEMICS. Some were good. Some bad. Some ambiguous.
But isn’t it odd that conspiracies are a permanent part of human existence, yet trying to study them or theorize about them results in crippling professional penalties?
I am astonished that I have not heard one single physicist call @pmarca a liar for claiming the Biden Whitehouse revealed that entire public subfields of theoretical physics were taken off-line by the government for security reasons, and disappeared or went dark.
Nor have I heard “We have to look into this!”.</br>
Nor have I heard “Wow! That is super interesting.” Just silence.
But what I have heard is academics finding it laughable that others find this is interesting.
The @pmarca claim about physics is thus one of the most anti-interesting claims I have ever heard. Everyone in physics just seems to intuitively know not to ask about it.
Has anyone seen @michiokaku, @neiltyson, @bgreene etc. commenting on this claim? I haven’t.
They all just know: Don’t go there girlfriend.

|content=Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz say that when they met White House officials to discuss AI, the officials said they could classify any area of math they think is leading in a bad direction to make it a state secret and "it will end"
