I agree a lot of "open-mindedness" today can just be a social costume, a way to signal values without actually questioning anything. I still think there's a difference between that and being fully ideologically rigid or hysterically woke. From what I've seen (outside the US at least), most high-functioning students, especially in STEM or business, just want to get things done, not perform activism. But yeah, maybe in elite US schools it's a different kind of environment entirely.I'm from the Nordics where the high baseline of egalitarianism makes things feel more grounded ideologically(less performative). Or I would hypothesize this.</blockquote>
