Academia leans significantly leftist, for reasons I suspect have something to do with reality leaning leftist. Most of the modern, fresh, contemporary academic ideas I'm familiar with, and actively discussed in academia, have moved beyond the trite ideas of heirarchy conservatism structures reality into.
Conservatism doesn't deal well with novelty, progressivism, fluidity and challenges to heirarchy. The result is its gradual ousting from the academic platform in favour of thinkers with a higher tolerance for complexity and abstraction.
What part of "so moronic it's not worth my time" did you think was inviting further attempts to debate it?
