My instinct is that Cofnas underestimates the importance of history and 'culture' (cf. Sowell and Loury).But his arguments have made me think more deeply about my assumptions. Why don't Cambridge students take the opportunity to argue with such an intelligent member of their university?
Academic freedom of thought and speech is what made our universities the best in the world. This has to be protected at all costs
Die, DEI
Good luck against the new totalitarianism overtaking our country.
"And so I go my way, obedient to the god, and make inquisition into the wisdom of anyone, whether citizen or stranger, who appears to be wise; and if he is not wise, then in vindication of the oracle I show him that he is not wise; and this occupation quite absorbs me, and I have no time to give either to any public matter of interest or to any concern of my own, but I am in utter poverty by reason of my devotion to the god." -- Plato, Apology
Free speech is one of the foundation stones of a free society. Best of luck.
I do not fully agree with you hypothesis however you right to state and publish your views is, in my opinion a fundamental tenner of freedom of speech. Good luck
This is definitely worth fighting for. So fundamental to our society.
Good luck. Let right be done.
Intellectual emancipation is the foundational requirements of any free society. The actions of Cambridge University and nothing more than implementation of intellectual Serfdom and must be challenged. If there is a time for you to be brave, it is NOW.
I would donate more if I could.
Dear Natan, I support the urgent need to regain academic freedom in universities. Otherwise our Western civilisation is doomed to annihilation, which, as you can see, has already begun. Respect to you for having the courage to speak the truth in the terrible times your beautiful country is experiencing.
I am making this donation because I believe that universities should welcome free speech on controversial topics and that employees should have the right to say things incompatible with their employers' DEI policies.
Good luck Nathan!
Cofnas is both correct about hereditarianism and extremely ASMR to listen to. What's there not to like?
While I question a few of the statements made by Cofnas, I do believe he should be allowed to make such statements without being harassed or fired. Free speech must be protected.
I support academic freedom!
This is an important test case and as a Cambridge alumnus I'm appalled by Emmanuel's craven submission to mob rule
