Title: Rawls is taking over the academy

Cognitive privilege is "...the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart."

For those who've never heard of him, this is the triumph of John Rawls A Theory of Justice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice), especially his idea that everything you are is merely from random chance. (I'm simplifying things, obviously.)

Those who are pushing this will create a worse dystopia than almost anything I can imagine on this earth.





One other note:

These people: Cognitive privilege is "...the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart."

Also these same people: "You're a racist for suggesting that intelligence is genetic!" (See: Murray, Charles; The Bell Curve)
