Higher education is raw indoctrination. The tell is that graduates are nearly all of the same political faith. (Regurgitation masquerading as independent thought)

I think Stephen Fry sums up my position in this clip perfectly. I would position myself as left of centre on the x axis and libertarian on the y. I was actually far more left leaning entering university than I was leaving, due to being pushed to debate.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_W_npyI7Xsw# …

I can't discern Fry's political positions. But as a personal philosophy his views sound reasonable. I'm a fan of human rights, such as free-speech. And skeptical of government involvement outside of maintaining them. I avoid labeling myself lest ideology think for me.

His position is very similar to my own, in that it's hard for me to even pin down, albeit I have a bit more of a libertarian streak. I read a definition of 'left libertarian' somewhere, which kind of fits. But ultimately I am a secular humanist, so reason is my guide.
