The ‘publish or perish’ culture, and the sinister ‘peer review’ stranglehold on thinking in universities, has cut down on the number of interesting thinkers produced by these higher places of learning. What good thinkers need is freedom and, like a plant, the right ’soil’ to flourish in (nice facilities, steady funding, lots of debate). But today’s universities are stifling dens of political correctness.
