#207 - Eric Kaufmann - How 'Cultural Socialism' Destroyed Our Universities
About this episode
Eric Kaufmann discusses the impact of 'cultural socialism' on Western universities and the implications for education and political bias.
Eric Kaufmann spent over two decades as a professor of politics studying demography, identity, and voting behaviour before leaving Birkbeck College to launch the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham. He argues that Western universities have abandoned analytical rigor and truth-seeking in favour of "cultural socialism" - an ideology prioritising equal outcomes and emotional harm protection for marginalised groups above standards, reason, and merit. Eric and I discuss the Jason Day scandal at Cambridge as the tip of a massive institutional iceberg, an AI-driven meta-analysis showing that 90% of political social science papers now slant to the left, and how 80% of young Britons have been taught critical race and gender concepts at school without counterarguments. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:05:18 - Is Fake Science In Academia A Scam? 00:08:08 - The Media Storm & Media Ethics 00:12:43 - What Universities Are Hiding 00:16:18 - 90% Left-Wing Bias In Research 00:20:12 - Do Parents Know What Kids Learn? 00:23:18 - Indoctrination In British…
