|content=So let’s go after the exhaust vent in the DISC. Let’s get you a future. Jobs in the same city as the one you love. Careers while you‘re young. Let’s get you savings for retirement & help raising your kids.
 
But to make this work: stop fetishizing “identity” & build our future.🙏

|content=I got tired of MSNBC suppressing @AndrewYang. The @DNC suppressing @TulsiGabbard. @HillaryClinton suppressing @bernie. @ABC editors suppressing reporting on Epstein. @nytimes not covering @EvergreenStCol in real time. @Harvard burying my wife’s & my work:

The [[Boskin Commission|Boskin commission]] suppressing truth about inflation. How the '''@nsf''' and @theNASEM suppressed the reason for H1-B. We must name the enemy:

|content=The enemy is the DISC. Its the complex of structures that resulted in fantastic income inequality & unrest breaking out all over the 🌎. It is what keeps Jamie Dimon safe from Len Bole. David Baltimore from Margot O’Toole. Biden safe from Yang. Institutions safe from Individuals.

|content=The first goal of The Portal is to install a Portal allowing young researchers in our STEM departments and Research Universities to avoid being subjected to submission to these instutions. No loyalty oaths. No signing over your intellectual property. No theft of your retirement.

|content=I don’t want you having to submit your work to an anonymous referee if you don’t trust that process. What if it is an unethical competitor? What if your advisor is jealous of you or has come to dislike you? You and your work need adult options. You are a scientist not an infant.

|content=You have a right to unionize. You have a right to know if your department can’t place its graduates into professorships and is blaming you for its failures. You have a right not to be subjected to the intellectual “Droit du seigneur” that has come over “graduate training”.

I want you to swing for the fucking fences w/ your research. I want you to remember that we need you to get out of our stagnation. I want you to believe pathologically in yourself.

|content=@CarlSag74260271 People who want to anger the electorate by dragging the party to celebrate “undocumented workers”. People who refer to underemployed Appalachian former Democrats with guns, bibles and no college degree  as deplorables. Media who want to focus on gender edge cases more than [[China]].

|content=Folks are asking why I don’t name the economist at '''@NSF'''. Or publish the study.
 
It’s not because I don’t have the name. I’ve spoken to the author.
 
It’s not because I don’t have the study.
 
It’s because this isn’t about ruining lives. It’s about saving the '''NSF''' & US STEM complex.

|content=I’m getting to the point where I may do both. But it isn’t what I want.
 
I want my country, university system, research labs, immigration, media etc reformed & not destroyed. I can’t stand the new “BURN IT ALL!” energy. But our institutional world is now keen to self-extinguish.

|content=So here’s our choice.
 
Either:
 
A) Stop whining and pay US STEM costs for some of the best and most irreverent mavericks in the world.
 
B) Shut down the programs that can’t compete.
 
C) Prepare to have PRC work its way into every corner of US R&D by supplying our workforce.

|content=This is hard to keep saying: almost everything we think about STEM is wrong.
 
A) We the US are GREAT at science.
 
B) Workers are mislabeled as students/trainees.
 
C) We underfund research.
 
D) [[China]] sends workers valued by Unis as they not as free or expensive as our own people.

|content=Think of it as “Intellectual Munchausen By Proxy” where the leadership of STEM at '''@NSF''' and @theNASciences have historically made up stories about how their own children (US STEM) are too sickly/greedy/unruly to do research. But our pliant temp visa holders are obedient wiz-kids.

|content=The US STEM complex is induced to murder careers of our own people because we are not trained to be obedient workers. We use freedom & irreverence based education. Our edge is our middle finger and US STEM folks rightly demand market level US salaries to power our market economy.

|content=And lastly, I have been in multiple conversations where professors of economics and/or finance have *literally* laughed in my face explaining how great our system is for them at the expense of younger students using exactly these concepts like barriers to entry: The joke is real.

|content=Folks are going to struggle processing the reasons for my anger. Let me explain:
 
A) There were & *are* such cabals: GUIRR,  AAU, NAFSA, '''NSF''', NAS, APLU, etc. They got going later than was discussed on this episode.
 
B) I’ve been ringing this bell since the ‘80s. This is way late.

|content=To be fair, they were decrying the policies set in motion back then. Their impression is that it looks just like the work of a nefarious cabal — but there was obviously no such cabal. That would be crazy

|content=So I agree that this 2020 podcast is saying this is appalling. But this is almost 40Yrs after this problem became visible and these voices were NOWHERE to be heard! When we said this in 1987 or 1992 we were vilified. So yes, this is better than most. But that bar is too damn low.
