taco bell-ification of education (Q&A)

The Point of a College Education by [[C-SPAN]]

Orson Welles quote about so many of him and so few of you at a lecture to 3-4 people in a snow storm.

statistics about the drops in humanities (~42:00)

consumerist spirit in higher education (45:00)

student evaluations (47:00)

education is a buyer's market now instead of a seller's as it had been in past generations

grade inflation

consumerism with respect to feminism and women's studies, gay and lesbian studies, multiculturalism in higher education

radical education as "going to the root"

in short, "let us entertain you" as consumerist education

"The job o education is never finished."

The hidden point of a University of Chicago education: Be an artist, be a scientist, be a statesman, be a teacher of artists, scientists, or statesmen.

Epstein quoting Norman Maclean, the author of The River Runs Through It and a professor at University of Chicago.

I would be lucky, I felt, merely to fail in accounting course. More likely, I would turn my participation in such a course. Into a felony. Accounting had to be avoided, but how? Something called the liberal arts, I learned, excluded accounting. As for what they included, I had no idea. But whatever it was, I felt that I had a shot at it. I signed up.

What does Josephs say about himself? (Peter Brier)

I get my education writing about things that until I actually do write about them I don't know that much about. I read. up I think through. I write out.

  • The big tech companies, left to their own devices , have already had a net negative effect on societies worldwide.
  • At the moment, the three big threats these companies pose
    • aggressive surveillance,
    • arbitrary suppression of content,
      • the censorship problem, and
    • the subtle manipulation of
      • thoughts,
      • behaviors,
      • votes,
      • purchases,
      • attitudes and
      • beliefs
    • are unchecked worldwide
• author: Robert Epstein
  • senior research psychologist at American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology
• paraphrase
  • Epstein's organization is building two technologies that assist in combating these problems:
    • passively monitor what big tech companies are showing people online,
    • smart algorithms that will ultimately be able to identify online manipulations in realtime:
      • biased search results,
      • biased search suggestions,
      • biased newsfeeds,
      • platform-generated targeted messages,
      • platform-engineered virality,
      • shadow-banning,
      • email suppression, etc.
  • Tech evolves too quickly to be managed by laws and regulations,
    • but monitoring systems are tech, and they can and will be used to curtail the destructive and dangerous powers of companies like Google and Facebook on an ongoing basis.

    • stats begin
    • search results favoring one candidate
    • could easily shift the opinions and voting preferences of real voters in real elections by up to 80 percent in some demographic groups
    • with virtually no one knowing they had been manipulated.
    • stats end
    • Worse still, the few people who had noticed that we were showing them biased search results
    • generally shifted even farther in the direction of the bias,
    • so being able to spot favoritism in search results is no protection against it.
    • stats begin
    • Google’s search engine 
      • with or without any deliberate planning by Google employees 
    • was currently determining the outcomes of upwards of 25 percent of the world’s national elections.
    • This is because Google’s search engine lacks an equal-time rule,
      • so it virtually always favors one candidate over another, and that in turn shifts the preferences of undecided voters.
    • Because many elections are very close, shifting the preferences of undecided voters can easily tip the outcome.
