From segments recorded during multiple drives, CJ pieced together his first Silver Bullet episode in over 6 months (and his longest Silver Bullet episode ever), in which he goes over in detail 13 of his biggest complaints about academia, based on his observations & experience from having been a student in it for 6 years & a teacher in it for 16 years.
Join CJ as he discusses the following problems with modern conventional academia:

No real market feedback mechanism to indicate whether a "good education" is being provided.

Overspecialization.

Rigid credentialism.

Too many courses online (especially at the intro/gen-ed level.)

Excessive disability accommodations.

Private-sector profiteering (off a captive audience & cartelized, non-competitive system.)

Administrative bloat.

A focus on arbitrary metrics that can be juked/gamed.

Degree inflation.

The accreditation agencies functioning as a cartel enforcer to artificially restrict entry & reduce competition.

Ideology baked into most (if not all) disciplines, in many cases for over a century.

The adversarial relationship often automatically created between student & teacher.

State & corporate influence & control.
