|content=Ask yourself why your trusted media wonā€™t put this story to rest. Just deny it @NSF. I triple-dirty-dog dare you. I would love the pleasure of having your spokespeople on The Portal to use your superior access to documents to explain.

|content=This is the [[The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (The DISC)|Distributed Idea Suppression Complex or DISC]] in action.
Ā 
A hyper specific allegation that the @NSF and GUIRR inside the @theNASEM in 1986 directed an internal economic analysis to figure out how much they would have to pay STEM workers in the future.

|content=The study is economically competent using both supply & demand, and then found new US graduates would have to be paid 6 figures shortly. They termed this the ā€œpessimistic scenarioā€, and then (and Iā€˜m not making this up) faked an *incompetent* DEMOGRAPHIC study by removing demand!

|content=The *competent* ECONOMIC study was protected and buried by never releasing it and removing the date and author from it. The author is still attached to NSF. To be clear: our @NSF is faking incompetence. The mainstream media is faking disinterest. Why? To not reveal the reasoning.

|content=The reason we have sky high STEM immigration is wage tampering. The @NSF & @theNASEM undermined our own model of scientific independence, '''academic freedom''' & irreverent science that was the envy of the word by flooding US markets with pliable STEM labor. And over what? Just wages.

And US Instutional media treats anything that appears there as automatically beneath discussion. This is the logic of the [[Gated Institutional Narrative (GIN)|Gated Institutional Narrative]]:

But then why not call a liar @nsf? Why invite me to the National Academy 4 separate times to present this @theNASEM?

|content=When the story of the modern research university transformation is finally told, it will become clear that almost everyone with '''ā€œacademic freedomā€''' refused to use it.
Ā 
Almost isnā€™t everyone though. One of the only professors who spoke out: @matloff. A brave man. Follow him.

These mindless death spirals are found in nature. They have nothing to do with coding computers but are an ever present danger of filling the world with humans robbed of agency and the capacity to dissent from hive logic.
