Liberal arts education once cultivated well-rounded, critically thinking individuals who would become our future innovators and leaders. However, in recent years, intellectual diversity, curiosity, and discourse have departed the halls of our most elite universities. Pano Kanelos, the founding president of UATX, believes that ideological capture and the overall homogenization of higher education are to blame.UATX, the University of Austin, has emerged as a reason for hope amidst negative trends at mainstream universities. This radical new experiment in higher education is putting quintessential liberal values at the center of the conversation. A graduate of UATX won’t just be an adept thinker, but an engaged, innovative citizen._____________________________________UATX announcement letter: https://www.thefp.com/p/we-cant-wait-for-universities-toLearn more about UATX: https://www.uaustin.org/UATX on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDjuyYcHYC37Yb7HZBMqd7gUATX on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/uaustinorg?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Intro[1:17] What is UATX?[5:17] Liberal arts vs. liberal education[11:28] Plato’s cave, heresy, and truth[17:53] What’s wrong with legacy universities?[25:37] Self-censorship destroys open inquiry[29:34] “My truth” is illiberal narcissism[34:51] Is UATX a right-wing grift?[40:28] How the university cartel protects its turf[46:41] Elite schools don’t create independent adults[51:43] Kids can see that the game is rigged[54:47] UATX is seeking out mavericks, not sheep[1:04:24] Grace, grit, and gratitude[1:07:46] How will UATX prepare young people for careers?[1:17:05] How to build an intellectual foundation[1:26:00] The age of the college major is over[1:33:25] Is a DIY, at-home education good enough?[1:41:42] Why is ‘free speech’ now seen as right-wing?[1:45:50] Most universities misunderstand truth[1:49:35] Is UATX a real university?[1:57:35] Challenge norms and reignite innovation_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PdsCcVL1zZc?si=_AI1BkM-twMkkos_Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

Life throws us curveballs from time to time. Sometimes we take a swing and hit it out of the park, but even a swing and a miss can teach us important, humbling lessons. Few know this better than former MLB pitcher Jake Arrieta.Jake’s scouting sheet looks like a storybook career: Olympic medalist, Cy Young Award winner, National League All-Star. He even led the 2016 Chicago Cubs to their first World Series in 108 years. However, Jake’s success was not a guarantee. Behind those accolades lies a story of uncertainty and setbacks, and these forged his trademark mental toughness, combined with a work ethic he learned from his dad. As a father of two himself, Jake, alongside his wife, now focuses on instilling the values of family, fortitude, and overcoming failure in their kids. Not everyone can be an all-star pitcher, but anyone can strive to be an all-star parent!_____________________________________Follow Jake on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jarrieta34?lang=enFollow Jake on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jarrieta49/?hl=en_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Intro[1:38] Choosing between school and the baseball draft[11:55] Even teenagers aren’t invincible[14:17] His dad’s advice kept him on the right track[16:59] From the Beijing Olympics to the Baltimore Orioles[25:21] Mental toughness and fear of failure[38:16] Winning the World Series with the Chicago Cubs[42:19] Inspiring and encouraging kids is part of the job[46:08] Politics is dangerous but sometimes unavoidable[51:19] Speaking out about the MLB’s COVID policies[59:22] Starting a family while building a baseball career[1:03:36] Athletes should start planning for retirement now[1:09:58] Failure is when most learning happens[1:14:46] Coaching kids’ sports as a celebrity[1:18:28] Lightning round Q&A[1:29:27] Outro_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/83k7fi3LMQ8Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.
