Paladinus posted:No, it just should be free. Speaking as someone with a free master's degree from a sane ish country: definitely. Teaching people to think is pretty good, both in capitalist terms of being way more productive (my wife is literally twice as efficient as her senior but less educated colleagues) and, crucially in terms of thinking about the society we live in and hopefully how to improve it. But down that road lies "academia leads to communism", which is not wrong but is commonly used to call universities indoctrination centrals.

GotLag posted:Universities are machines to convert normal people into liberals I mean, it depends on your degree. If you take something that will get replaced by computers in ten years like law, you end up conservative. If you go STEM it's libertarianism. Social sciences, especially polsci or economics turns you into a liberal. Humanities is where you get your communism.

When I went to a Liberal Arts university I saw a lot of people from Conservative families realize how stupid their parents were after they were away from their influence and became normal. Is that the same thing?

Liberal arts definitely means the same as politically liberal. It's not a distinct thing in any way, and no queer theory or whatever exists within liberal arts.
