(Created page with "The concept of the "True Elite" refers to individuals who achieve elite status through genuine superiority of competence, training, skill, and contribution to society, rather than through unethical manipulation and rent-seeking. They have been driven out of and are now almost non-existent in our current institutions. * True elites are those who reach the top of their fields through skill, dedication, and ability, rather than through social status, connections, or rent-s...") |

|content='''Many elite PhDs are produced only to be slaughtered.''' They are given a brutal choice: join the consensus or perish. | |||
Publish or Perish is downstream of the real problem: | |||
Self-Censor to Join or Die. | |||
The top priority of fixing our elite universities is this: ending consensus, peer review and affirmative action for elite researchers who were nevertheless too weak to stand against their fields and the artificial consensus that hangs like a miasma over academe since the late 1960s-early 1970s. | |||
We need iconoclasts like @DrJBhattacharya, @MartinKulldorff, @matloff, @BretWeinstein, @skdh, @notevenwrong (Peter Woit), etc and many others you have never heard of who have been fringified in chaired secure positions as academics as they stood up. | |||
I know that is brutal. I’m sorry. But we stopped housing our best people in favor of those weak enough to waste their lives on incremental or imaginary science. | |||
THE problem devitalizing STEM is consensus. '''Make the elite dissenters financially, legally, reputationaly and physically secure, and you will never have another COVID, great Financial Crisis or other policy mediated mass delusion again with academic groupthink as its midwife.''' | |||
