One thing I've noticed is that academia has largely homogenized intellectual discussion. As in there might be five different historians, but they're all reading from the same book. They'll have different styles and intonations when presenting the material, but ultimately they're all the same.The only thing objective about history are the number of deaths, the dates and times. Things you can measure quantitatively.
Everything else is pure conjecture. Ask 5 different historians the reasons behind a decision or event and you get 5 different answers that conform to whoever's political beliefs.
Imagine the below, but in higher education and the teachers are all liberal.
