Lawrence Lessig calls for

Good post highlighting a very real problem we have at the moment. He is touted by the Left as a sort of Mr. Ethics.

Ethics at Harvard: https://ethics.harvard.edu/lab

In 2010, Lawrence Lessig launched the Edmond J. Safra Research Lab, a major initiative designed to address fundamental problems of ethics in a way that is of practical benefit to institutions of government and society around the world. As its primary undertaking, the Lab tackled the problem of institutional corruption.

Uh huh...

The Edmond J. Safra Research Lab was made possible, in part, by the generous support of Mrs. Lily Safra...and also by the support of the late Dr. Wallace J. Gardner.

We have much information on this subverse about the Safras. Like the excellent: Taking a look at the richest banker in the world whose family has been in banking since the Ottoman empire and uses ancient secret code for discretion and associated with Child Mind Institute

I also have posted a video with Lily Safra, Marina Abramovic, Norman Foster, Lyn Rothschild , Prof. Idan Segev et al at the Hebrew University : https://vimeo.com/185422692

Prof. Idan Segev says in the video: "There are two mechanisms in the brain. There is the excitatory mechanisms which excite the brain. There is another group of cells which try to inhibit. And the whole success of the brain is to try to be balanced. What Marina Abramovic is doing is to take us a little bit out of the balance. Only in out of the balance you can create something new".

I think that nicely sums up what is happening to society in general. People are being put into an 'off balance state' so that these nutter occultists can try to create their New World.

So, Lessig is connected to ethics at Harvard and we know he has Epstein connections. We also know that the CEO of Blackstone who has just created an ethics institute at Oxford University is coonected to Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein as detailed here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3426189

We need to keep digging. Thanks for your work.

Jonathan Shaw: And you note also this shift in higher education that government funding has become increasingly scarce, driving a push to find new ways to pay for research, whether through philanthropy or partnerships with industry. And you note that even donors have become more transactional, asking what they will get in return for a gift. Are these types of relationships inevitably tainted or are there ways to structure them that avoid corruption and the appearance or the appearance of corruption?

Lawrence Lessig: Well, there's certainly ways to structure it to minimize any corruption or appearance of corruption, but we have to recognize that some institutions can afford that more than others. I have a friend who teaches at a policy school that's focused on food, healthy eating, sponsored by the Hershey Corporation, so you might say, could they like not resist the Hershey money? And does the Hershey money affect what they're doing? And those are fine questions to ask in theory. But the real problem is that when you're a school that needs to find the money to fund your research, there's not so many places you can go, especially if you're not Harvard or Yale or Stanford.

Lawrence Lessig: And so this I think is part of the reason why I was so keen to write this book and to talk about this subject because I think what we need to do is to develop norms that we all as academics can rely on to help guide the work we do in a way that insulates us from the wrong kind of influence. And so it should just be expected that a university would not create the kind of relationships that would force an academic to question his or her motives when adopting one research project or another. And to the extent the university does, or to the extent a research center does, then if we have obvious and well known norms about it, then those norms can kick in and we can say, what is this? I shouldn't be in a position where I need to go help fundraise to support the research that I'm doing that might in fact be against the interest of the people I'm raising money from.

Lawrence Lessig: And so I think that dynamic of developing norms to help insulate and support the academic is one of the most important regulatory responses we can have. Because there's relatively few actual regulations that you could imagine deploying here that would make sense or could be enforced effectively.

looks like Lessig was trying to get ahead of this story in a Podcast last week

"...help guide the work we do in a way that insulates us from the wrong kind of influence."

We should all be protected from wrongthink.

"...should just be expected that a university would not create the kind of relationships that would force an academic to question his or her motives..."

We know that anything we came think to do, we should do, damn the morality.

"And so I think that dynamic of developing norms to help insulate and support the academic is one of the most important regulatory responses we can have.

Well. I see academia hasn't changed much. ffs
