There is only about a 10 to 15% increase regarding the importance of money.
Everything else has fallen an importance more than 20% according to the graph.
The importance of money hasn't completely replaced all of the other pursuits of meaning. It's only a marginal increase compared to the significant decrease of everything else.
So, what replaced all of these categories? Did everyone just become a nihilist?
Like COVID, I think this whole DEI initiative was a front to get rid of troublesome professors, either by influencing their decision to quit or two bully them into submission.
After that, more ideologically pure professors can be hired.
COVID allowed the purging of those thinking for themselves, or even, those cautious of early adoption, to be replaced for those more compliant and ideologically aligned.
All of those items can be obtained especially cheaply at any thrift store.
The use of gas for cooking will only modestly increase a gas bill. And that's assuming the person cooking, is cooking every meal instead of meal planning and relying on leftovers for a number of meals.
I'm coming to believe that some people who don't know how to cook, and can't plan these things out, also do not know how to think for themselves, which is why they rely solely on restaurants in the first place. It's not just about the convenience.
Wokeness is the most successful rebranding of evil in human history
It takes racism, division, and hatred, wraps them in the language of compassion and justice, and calls it moral progress
It made people cheer for the destruction of their own societies while feeling morally superior for doing it
Academia is arguably the staunchest manifestation of herd mentality. Most academics belong to a new species known as the Invertebrate Castrati. They are meek, cowardly, tepid, soft, conforming, etc. If another academic comes along who has a big and playful personality that otherwise violates the exemplar template of meekness, the sheep become vicious. If you become famous, they hate you. If you write hugely popular books, they hate you. If you exhibit a honey badger mindset, they hate you. They are the mean kids in high school bathing in impotent and envious rage. As the old maxim goes "Never are the battles so fierce as when the stakes are so low." Such is the pettiness of most academics who are stay-in-your-lane bean counters when they should be brash and bold intellectual NAVY seals.
Sen. Sanders and Rep. AOC were never against A.I.
They are for the nationalization of A.I. and incorporating A.I. into the stakeholder model.
It is the dialectic at work.
Problem: A.I.
Reaction: this must be stopped!
Solution: Let's make A.I. available to everyone.
Only about a third of Americans now believe a four-year college degree is worth the cost. Increasingly, students and families are questioning it too. As many colleges across the country face shrinking enrollment, more than 60 institutions are now offering students a faster path to graduation.

That is a long ass tweet about micro-aggressions. The purpose of them was to populate the GULag Archipelago thru control of thought & speech in order to enslave humanity to socialist utopia. That is why you start the research back 100 years, not 50. Communism kills.

Not just โthe Leftโ
I really wish people would get this๐
The Left and the Right operate in tandem to negate the Constitutional Republic. There is no middle/centre.
Constitutional Republican governance is predicated on that which is pre-political; natural law constitutionalism - itself arising ontologically from theist created order; NOT confession.
@Theo_TJ_Jordan Humanities teaches essential skills such as communication. I teach a lot of drawing classes and so through my classes the students learn how to communicate via visual means.
Learning how to communicate is also necessary for discernment whether visual or otherwise.
@FischerKing64 If they're morons, they will never question their indoctrination. They don't actually have to learn anything useful, they just have to learn how to be communists.
