Watching some bizarre commentary from media and others about plagiarism. Interesting that the media and many academics think that plagiarism is no big deal now. The argument seems to be that all academics do it: The Plagiarism War Has Begun
More pillars of society are wrecked by their own wrecking ball. Public health destroyed itself – but in this column, the institutions wrecked by their own actions, blame everyone else.
If all academics are plagiarizing, then the academy has made a mockery of itself, and their elite status collapses.
President Biden also had a history of plagiarism, as described in this 2019 Time Magazine article.
At this point, plagiarism is now a badge of honor, apparently. Everyone does it. No one needs to do original work anymore, just copy someone else’s work.
