The Education Industry deplores free thinkers like this brave soul. Being taught by nuns, Jesuits, and Holy Cross Fathers, the Socratic method was the template for all their instruction. That is a method used for thousand of years. We abandon free thinking at our peril, as did Germany in the 1930's.

I'm not certain Big Education "deplores" all free thinkers.

It just deplores the ones who won't keep their heads down and their mouths shut.

So we have Brett Weinstein and Jordan Peterson similarly hounded, either of whom can produce a grocery list with more rigorous thought and sound logic than most of what passes for academic research in the social sciences.

And now Prof. Boghossian. Not bad company to keep.
