Yes. They don't want well-educated fellow citizens who are equals inside a democratic society, they want servants and slaves who are disciplined into compliance, so they will accept abuse, rape and exploitation bsky.app/profile/quic...

I support anti-fascist protesters, no qualifiers. They don't have to fit the right posture or strike the right pose. Their every statement and member don't need to achieve perfection. I support them if it gets ugly, which is different from hoping it does. I support them because they resist fascists.

I went to high school with an exceptional baseball player. D1, all america, drafted. couldn't hit for enough power as an OF, topped out at AA. the bar is so, so high.

Fair enough but we originally thought that we were revealing an unusual insight about the specific concept of gayness. This retreat-that actually most or all of our discourse is not about metaphysically real things-removes all of the force from the original point.

College can be a place where the playing field can be leveled, if it is approached correctly. Especially as we grapple with the impact of AI on learning, the way in which students consider this kind of scenario has higher stakes than ever before

I don't dispute that. I'm explaining why I think it's right to vote with them, though. If college is just paying for a piece of paper, something that everyone games their way through, the people with the race/gender/financial etc. privileges still come out ahead--those advantages are durable.

College generally is about laying foundations. You need to know how well you're doing so you know what to change. The stakes are higher once you're out, and there won't be a teacher specifically dedicated to evaluating and supporting you. Just a missed opportunity to take the free A.

You can't do well in an upper level course if you don't have the skill foundation provided in a lower level course, whether or not you get a good grade. The foundation is the important part, not the grade. The grade only matters because it helps to tell you whether you have the foundation.

sports teams in the profile an undefeated negative leading indicator

the problem is that all those plays are boring and the nfl would be better with fewer of them. sooner or later the rest of the league will learn to tush push and you'll come around to this view, when its a tedious thing that we're all suffering through rather than a unique advantage for your team

Under these rules it would be legitimate for Yemen to drone strike the CEO of Lockheed Martin in his pied-a-terre in Manhattan. How could we object? Collateral damage is now fine, proportionality is no longer required.
