Is protesting the war in Gaza anti-semitism, or simply a policy stance? Consider accusations that Jews poisoned wells and caused the Black Death. www.pennpress.org/978081225361... . We call that anti-semitism. But was it hostility not to Jews, but to people who poison wells?

I just tried asking ChatGPT why Provost Lauren Robel failed to get the job of President of Indiana University, since there were rumors. ChatGPT says it was me. No wonder she wanted me investigated and punished!

🚨 BlackRock, Vanguard & State Street are being sued for allegedly colluding to cut coal output via ESG. The case tests the common ownership theory and a win "would embolden and encourage others to bring similar lawsuits." Big case. Big implications. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This week's Substack describes who has the legal power in public universities, Indiana University in particular. It's the Board of Trustees, not the faculty. ericrasmusen.substack.com/p/who-owns-i...

From sermon on James 1:23: 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: We look at a mirror not to see ourselves exactly, but to see how we compare with the ideal me, the me whose hair is combed.

I was just daydreaming about being the advisor to an important person with a difficult personality (no, not him, or him either). I thought a social meeting at the start would help, maybe playing cards over beers. Question: what game would be good for that (multi-person is OK).

Today's Substack is even spicier than usual, despite having large chunks of legal text in it. I name names and say who should be fired by Governor DeSantis. ericrasmusen.substack.com/p/fire-the-w...
