The Discourse of the Western Canon

i think academia though i don't want to speak authoritatively about it on the panel of two people who work in academia when i don't. It's certainly my impression in lots of other places there has been a lessening of the ability to engage in dissent engage in this kind of discourse in a way that's constructive. I wish so much that this was the prevailing ethos and so many more of our key institutional sectors because to me this is where constructive dialogue happens where thought happens.  "I've spent as i said the last two hours thinking and listening as much as i have speaking," says journalist Cornel Rittenhouse.
