I wrote to you this week about Jason Arday, the University of Cambridge professor caught in a massive plagiarism scandal.
He's black, so if you're asking questions about his work you might be "racially motivated," which is how he described an inquiry by Times Higher Education.
It turns out he also made up stories about being a visiting faculty member at The Ohio State University, and a visiting scholar at Glasgow University's School of Education.
He further claimed on multiple occasions to have published a book with Palgrave Macmillan called Being Young, Black and Male: Challenging the Dominant Discourse, when in fact Palgrave Macmillan abandoned the project years ago and it never saw the light of day. (So we were spared at least that.)
Some of his personal claims also seem to be hard to credit, like his claim to have run 30 marathons in 35 days, and having raised millions of pounds for charity (on this latter claim he now concedes that he was one of 100 people involved in a fundraising effort).
When questioned, Arday has resorted to calling the police, trying to get his critics silenced. David Harris, Professor Emeritus at Plymouth Marjon University, wrote Arday a letter asking for clarification on what certainly appeared to be cases of using other scholars' work without attribution. After a week passed with no response and Harris wrote again, Arday responded that Harris should have been spending his time fighting "racism" and "ableism" instead of looking for errors in Arday's work.
He closed with, "Anything further from you will be considered bullying and harassment."
Arday contacted the Metropolitan Police to lodge a complaint of harassment against Harris, though the police did not pursue the matter.
When reporter Jack Grove contacted Arday with questions about his academic record, the Cambridge professor retained the services of the prominent law firm Carter-Ruck and even lodged a formal complaint of harassment to Scotland Yard. The Metropolitan Police wasted four months on this absurd claim before closing the case.
On the plagiarism, which is so extensive as to be essentially undeniable, Arday blames his autism, which he says causes him to absorb information by mimicry.
Several professors have now come forward with evidence that Arday simply fabricated some of his research.
To become a full professor at Cambridge requires a very substantial record of serious scholarly work. Arday was made a full professor at the age of 37, and as we saw earlier this week, his so-called scholarly work is essentially worthless.
Until very recently, the University of Cambridge had described accusations against Arday as part of a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility"; countless so-called progressive academics had likewise rushed to his defense. Now the University is changing its tune (will it apologize to those scholars it baselessly attacked for their criticisms of Arday?), and launching an investigation into Arday's work and claims.
The mere announcement of that investigation was enough to elicit Arday's resignation from Cambridge.
Here's what we all know: Arday is obviously a head case whose academic work holds zero scholarly merit, and the idea that he would have been raised to the rank of full professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the world at age 37, when thousands of much more qualified white professors labor in obscurity if they even find full-time academic positions at all, violates every standard of decency and fairness known to man.
The whole system, in the UK and the US, is a joke. The plagiarism is so extensive in Arday's dissertation that it's just paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs of direct cut and paste, and left-wing academics defended him anyway.
These people have zero standards, they are untrustworthy in everything they write and say, and they are at war with civilization itself.
Now of course this week I am reminding my readers about a free webinar I am giving very soon, in which I'm presenting the most detailed and step-by-step discussion you have ever seen of how to build a solid laptop-based solopreneur business that no AI can displace you from no matter how clever it gets.
I am showing you how to start it and how to run it, and I am leaving nothing out. There's no "to get the full info buy my $5000 course" at the end. At the end you will have all the information.
So I thought to myself: what's the connection, if any, between that and this Jason Arday story?
And of course the answer is obvious: these academics, who unapologetically defend a man who obviously makes up stories, who publishes ludicrous papers about dumb topics, who copies other people's work or invents results out of thin air, and who calls the police against people who ask him questions, are the very people who stand in judgment of the actual makers and doers in our society.
The vast bulk of these people have never produced a damn thing anyone in his right mind would pay for. If it weren't for government subsidy they could never earn the salaries they do, because nobody in his right mind would pay them those amounts. They'd instead be anonymous paper-pushers in a cubicle somewhere, unable to bother the rest of us.
As non-creators themselves, they despise creators -- especially ones who didn't go to elite schools. Their entire self-worth comes from their credentials. When someone who ostentatiously lacks those credentials shows them up in every way, they hate it. They must destroy.
You and I are the exact opposite of these people. We believe in merit, and we believe in creating genuine value.
In 2026 we have at our fingertips technology our ancestors would have marveled at and indeed killed for. Of course it can be monetized, and I will show you the steps.
You will say: this was an excellent use of my time -- the opposite of what you'd say after reading a Jason Arday paper.
It's free, there's nothing for sale at the end, and it's more valuable than what many people pay hundreds of dollars for.
So what's the catch? You have to be there live. No replay. Reserve your spot here:
