Part 13/14:
Towards Reform and a New Model for Education
Lukianoff advocates for diversifying educational options beyond elite universities—highlighting smaller experiments like the University of Austin and innovative online platforms—aiming to provide high-quality, affordable education without the influence of cancel culture or ideological conformity.
He emphasizes that rethinking the entire perception of elite institutions can help restore faith in free speech and democratic values. Building norm-based, resilient cultures around speech and inquiry offers the best hope for a society capable of embracing disagreement, messiness, and progress.
