  1. University in Nietzsche's time was difficult to attain and certainly tuition-free. Some sort of tutoring or other academic work in exchange for a stipend was the norm. Socrates believed there is no true education in exchange for money. If you pay over $50k a year to be somewhere, of course you expect comfort and "safe spaces." It's a normal demand, when you're paying that kind of the money. It is no longer school. It's a place you go to advance your fortunes. Nice sleight of hand into an anti-state rant. Huge tuition is thanks to the end of tax subsidies combined with the availability of loans.

  2. David Riesman described this about 70 years ago, give or take. Consider exactly what we conform to.

  3. Simplistic. Quoting Havel (!) should tip you off. Whoever made this video depends on the audience knowing nothing about Havel, or Solzhenitsyn, or what they ultimately, and fundamentally, disagreed about by the 1990s. Also, read Stonor Saunders. Find out who various "artists" really were.
