He has no access to purchases on the PS4. Unlike some parents, we were able to find the parental controls and set them so he can't use the card on file.

What about your anarcho-marxist offspring? He's gotta be in on the white-people-bad train.

That was so last year. He voted for Trump. I can't keep his views straight. He calls himself a fascist, but when he starts to talk policy, it sounds socialist. He hates SJWs and gets along with everybody. (Except me and Nerd.)

Yesterday, he told us that since Youtube has a monopoly, the government should force them to publish any content users want to put out there. I'm not even sure how to classify that sort of opinion.

Let's not get into the fact that YouTube isn't a monopoly.... he's an Aspie. Think a younger version of TC. Crazy ideas, all the time.

One of my best friends is an aspy. He was all about the 9/11 stuff until I told him to Google "9/11 conspiracies debunked" lol.

He gets into some weird stuff but I like how they look at everything differently. Leads to some brilliant stuff I never thought of from time to time.

Chicago wasn't like that when I was in college. Depends on the campus, though. UIC is fucking ridiculous. University of Chicago doesn't care about PC one bit. Everybody else is in between those two extremes. You have some of the smaller liberal arts colleges in Chicago now churning out SJWs. It's their main source of revenue.

I was there during the Finkelstein affair. I thought it was ridiculous back then. But then I watched a bunch of black alumni physically assault a guest speaker last year for criticizing identity politics and realized it's a lost cause.

Universities are not great places for students any longer in general. For most people they are a massive waste of money as it is.

Unfortunately my post got deleted, but the general point of it was that I wouldn’t qualify UChicago as “not caring about PC one bit.” It’s more of the sense that people don’t care for fallacious or deranged reasoning from either side. Whether it’s PC people and their boogeyman in society or the opposite “brown people” boogeyman. People tend to stray from the extreme PC and anti PC because they’re just opposing sides of the same coin.

Also I would disagree with your assessment of universities, I find the quality of discussion at mine to be something to cherish.

You think opposing political correctness is the same thing as political correctness? Sounds like you are an SJW, honestly.

Political correctness is utterly poison to an open society. To claim that somebody who cherishes the freedom of speech is just another dimension of a totalitarian is kind of silly, don't you think?

Unless, that is, you don't see political correctness as a form of totalitarianism (which it truly is)..


There actually is a pretty deep problem in Chicago-area universities with respect to political correctness and anti-human rights (such as opposition to the freedom of speech, or of association, or even of thought). You might just be so buried beneath it that you can't see the alternatives. It depends on your campus how bad it is. Like I said before, University of Chicago is not so bad. UIC is utterly garbage at this point. Other universities range between those two. I am not so sure what it's like at Northwestern, though. I would hope they are more like University of Chicago.

The extremes of both sides are the same. Please don't misinterpret what I wrote down to suit your agenda. The extremes replace white buzzwords with brown buzzwords. You can call me an SJW if you'd like, but I think we both know you're trying to use it as a scapegoat term. It reminds me of the discussion of "safe spaces" at our university and how the university faculty was against them due to the fact they felt they inhibited free discussion. Students protested it and suddenly everyone thought "ThE LiBerAls ArE RuiNiNg EdUcAtiOn AgAiN" when really it was just a conflict of definitions.

The student body considered "safe space" or "trigger warnings" to simply be an email from the professor informing students that there would be a discussion on the Soviet mass rapes during the Soviet offensive. The university inferred "safe space" to mean these discussions would be censored. The students inferred that, at worst, students that didn't feel comfortable discussing it could write a response paper to make up for their participation in that class. Not really a big deal.

There are several degrees of views on political correctness. Most people tend to fall into the camp that you can say what you wish to say, but that doesn't mean you won't suffer consequences for what you say if it is balls-off-the-wall nuts. Again, you go into an argument with the mentality that people have a positive motive for why they hold their positions and suddenly discussions start to become fruitful. I've never heard anyone argue that cherishing freedom of speech is another dimension of totalitarianism. I don't think you could find a person on campus that didn't think the free expression of ideas was essential to creating a great society.

You're talking to a dude that does go to UChicago. You'll find most people here are going to be socially liberal and that the true defining features are your stances on economic issues and their significance in society.

Actually, YouTube does have a monopoly.

Autism actually isn't a bad thing, it ignores the emotional aspect of things and deals with facts, which too many people today refuse to do.
