Good thread on the history of US universities and why the story we are telling about universities is wrong.
The attack on science we are now seeing is an attack on knowledge. That’s why RFK lies about NIH being not a gold standard of science. And it’s the same attack on science and the humanities.

Good story: Exhibit at the community center about your town. Senior citizen book club at the library. Aunt Sally was on her way to chemo but her clinical trial got cut. But the problem actually ISN’T the right or wrong story.

We should also not merely go on defense but counterattack: talk about why RFK and Bhattacharya and Makary lie. That is, for money. RFK sells supplements. All are boosted by billionaires.
We wouldn’t know their names without billionaires’ money (AIER, Santa Clara) and media (Fox, Bari Weiss, Epoch Times, WSJ).
Billionaires wanted the public to ignore COVID and use COVID to divide us. So they paid doctors who’d do that.
So the billionaire donor class, who are behind Project 2025 and Musk, continues to promote those doctors who lie.
There’s not much else to say abt them. They’re just tools. /end
