part on corrupt universities at 34:30
"The way to think of the universities today,is that they are as corrupt as the Roman Catholic Church was 500 years ago. You have this system of indulgences that takes the form of runaway tuitions, you have this priestly or professorial class that is pretty lazy and doesn't do very much work, you have this theory of salvation, where salvation consists of getting a diploma; & if you do not get a college diploma , you are going to end up in a very bad place. So there's a soteriological story as well. I think it's a universalised , centralised big story. It's the successor to the universal Catholic church , is this universal university system."
