Tucker guest Yale-educated Chinese secondary school teacher "professor" Jiang Xueqin, creator of the "predictive history" podcast on western classics and on western universities' disdain for them: "western universities ought to be the places, the fortresses that are the greatest defenders of western civilization. But if you go again to these elite universities, Yale, Harvard ­ they are the most critical of western socialization."

1:00-1:04 - Cultural value of Western classics
Professor Jiang Xueqin  is a Chinese-Canadian educator and writer known for his work in education reform and his popular "Predictive History" YouTube channel, which uses game theory for geopolitical forecasting. He is a high school teacher in Beijing, with a B.A. from Yale." 

TUCKER [01:00:14] It's just interesting because like... but you know, white people have done a lot of bad things, just like people do a lot bad things. But in general, people like to go on, as you just noted, vacation in white countries because they're pretty nice. So I think you'd have to say, if you took the emotion out of it and just like looked at it, net, net. Whites have been, you know pretty big addition to the world, invented a lot stuff, created a lot beauty, created places people like go on vacation, which really is a good test. So like, why would you just-

PROFESSOR JIANG XUEQIN [01:00:47]: Destroy all that! Look, so in my school, I teach the great books. I teach Western civilization. I teach Homer, the Iliad, the Odyssey. I teach Plato, the Republic. I teach Dante, the Divine Comedy. I teach The Bible. And my students love it. Because Western civilization, it's just not about people being white. It's really about what it means to be human. And what it mean to be spiritual and to have connections with the divine. So it's unfortunate. That just when the world needs Western civilization the most, the West decides to destroy its own civilization. I mean, Homer, Dante, Plato, Shakespeare, the Bible, these are timeless classics that speak to every human. I know because I teach in China to Chinese students who have actually no exposure to Western culture, yet they fall in love with Plato, Dante Homer and Shakespeare. And why is that? And it's because there is eternal truth. Um, embedded in their, in their words. And so, um, universities, Western universities ought to be the places, the fortresses that are the greatest defenders of Western civilization. But if you go again to these elite universities, Yale, Harvard, they are the most critical of Western socialization. They don't, they don't teach Homer and Don, Tim, Plato. And it's like, if you don't teach these classics. What's the purpose of university? I always thought the university was the heart and center of civilization, right? It's like what monasteries were in the medieval age. And I thought these professors, they would dedicate their lives to promoting the classics, but instead they now promote complete nonsense like DEI and

TUCKER [01:02:47] Of all the, and this is my last question. Professor, thank you. It's been a wonderful conversation. I hope it won't be our last and I hope we can have dinner when we're on the same continent. But this is the last question, since you've traveled so much and live so many places and speak multiple languages, where would you say the part of the world that's most hostile to Western civilization as you just described it is? Trying to understand where this hostility is coming from.

PROFESSOR JIANG XUEQIN [01:03:14] Well, I would say, um, Canada, Britain, Western Europe, I would say these places are the most hostile towards Western civilization. Uh, Chinese people have tremendous respect for Western civilization, uh, in fact, in China's, you know, in the process of promoting the classics. In China because Chinese recognize the tremendous cultural value and immense eternal truths embedded in these classics. So we're in a very weird situation where the West is destroying itself by abandoning what makes it great, which is these classics

TUCKER [01:04:02] I think if we talk longer, I'm going to start to cry on camera, so I'm gonna take an emotional break here. Professor, thank you. Okay. I do not mean to upset you, sorry. I'm half kidding. No, it's emotionally resonant for me because I know that you're telling the truth and it comports with everything that I've seen. And so it's hard to accept something that's true. But I think what you're saying is true, unfortunately. So bless you for this and I hope to see you again soon.
 

Lily Tang Williams (a survivor of the Cultural Revolution in China, and now congressional candidate) could likely supply a far more credible answer. Here's one of her observations two years ago:

I gave a talk on the similarities between Mao's Cultural Revolution & Critical Race Theory in GA 2021 when #CRT was pushed on us.

Shortly after my talk, I was interviewed by this radio station in Atlanta. #DEI today is based on #CRT. They both are repackaged Maoism/Marxism... pic.twitter.com/ZUM6xk7rEs
