Are they actually academic or are they just promoting bourgeoise western shit?

Genuine question, I can't tell whether this is academics becoming cooler or a bunch of trojan horses disguised as bars. Comment below compares it to TED talks but those cost $10,000 to attend and $500 to watch live virtually.

probably an op, xhs is a terrible platform and using it is self harm, it is completely ideologically compromised and anyone willing to cooperate with them is an antipolitical opportunist at best

probably gonna be a mix, but I think the concept itself is very good
