IT’S JUST TRUE. THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
The Academy, Media, and State have been the enemy of the people since the media made the industrialization of lying possible in the war era.
Is gossip news? Is rumor news? Is he said, she said news?
What if we made every reporter, every publisher, every editor as responsible for their speech as we make CEO’s and CFO’s responsible for their financial reports?
What if we made every reporter, every publisher, every editor, perform the same warranty of due diligence on their speech as we do every advertiser, marketer, pharmaceutical company, financial service provider, and industrial equipment manufacturer?
What if we demanded full reciprocity – meaning that double standards were an act of fraud in public speech just as they are in the provision every other market good whether product, service, or information?
What if we restored defamation to the courts, and removed the special provisions granted to the media – against a thousand years of the law, and against four thousand years of western civilization?
Why do we grant reporters special privilege to gossip, rallying, shaming, defamation, double standards, loading and framing, pseudoscience, without consequence in the most important matters facing us, when we do not allow them in the most common of commercial claims?
Why is not information provided for the purpose of FRAMING the political discourse (manufacturing opinion) not subject to the same requirements for due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and outright deceit, that we subject all other disciplines to?
I mean. The Jury is in on the media right now. It is profitable to carry on the “Russia” nonsense when it’s so far nothing but a fiction for the purpose of defamation, because in a hostile polity, defamation sells?
Why are reporters allowed to market and profit from defamation that they cannot possibly pay restitution for?
The reporters have taken over the roles of priests of the pulpit: who can engage in fictionalism that forces the public opinion by nothing more than environmental saturation (the industrialization of lying) with defamation independent of facts?
The answer is clear: We need to make reporters, editors, publishers, as accountable for their words as we do everyone else, because they have proven that they are not capable of self regulation as are the medical and legal industries. So it sure looks like we are going to have professionalize the media, require training, require licenses, require insurance, and restore defamation, and extend the warranty that we require of all other market goods to the informational goods provided by the media.
If that happens we will see a very different America, and a very different public.
We will end our experiment in trust under the industrialization of lying we call the 20th century media.

There really isn’t a lot of value to universities other than the quality of professor that they can afford to hire, and the fact that there are very few really good professors working at any given time in any field.
My expectation (and I think peterson and others have said this) is that the trend will obviously be solving the problem of certification, and the formation of digital universities so that professors can teach very large classes, use a cadre of graduates to grade the work, and profit from those classes, is the future. And I suspect a much higher quality of education in that future principally because we have access to the best.
And can you imagine the earnings from 50K students per year instead of 50 or 100?
Top professors will earn absurd returns.

( apparently according to my relatives who are teachers, the terms ‘retard’, ‘short-bus’, and ‘window-licker’ are out of fashion.)

(Only remember two instance of detention in high school. Neither I deserved. I don’t remember the reason for the first other than it was false. The second was ridiculous. I wasn’t taking notes. But I never take notes. I never have had to. I remember everything. So I sat in the principal’s office and said that I would not show up for detention, and that he was welcome to take it up with my parents. I mean, if you knew my father, if I was wrong there would be hell to pay. But if I was right, you didn’t want him in your face. Not for even three seconds. He had your back in a fight. Especially against authority. One of the few good things I can say about him. So I only had one detention, in seventh grade, for insulting a teacher. And I deserved it. Not that he didn’t. But that it wasn’t my place to insult a teacher. )

Ownership of the commons by paying taxes is just another fallacy of the labor theory of value. The ‘ownership’ of a polity is objectively that of those who fight. Period. Everyone else is a rentier, and taxes are their method of paying rent.
