Another round of off-the-clock opinions. Your agreement is voluntary; your civility is not.
- Failing cities like Chicago should heed Ken Griffin’s warning: No tax base, no money (The Hill) --welcome to Texas, be prepared to pay out the wazoo in property taxes, especially if you bring previous preferences for high-tax services with you.
- The Coming AI Cataclysm (Compact Magazine) There's a lot here to unpack, but pay attention to where it talks about K-12 students and what I call the Value-Added of the Human Touch.
- The Appeal of the Campus Right (The Atlantic) I kept telling people even Way Back When that Trump was a symptom, not a cause. Those who do not learn, must feel...
- Why I no longer engage with Nature publishing group (Heterodox STEM) I have also been musing for years about Lysenkoism, in more than one field.
- ‘We’re coming after you’ — how the left found peace through hate (The Hill) I have had to cut some people loose, including someone who was dear to me, because this sickness infected their souls.
- And the specific issue that got the person cut loose? Rethinking How We Misthink the Holocaust (Elder's Substack). "Fine, if I'm going to be compared to Hamas when I criticize the Jews, then I hate all Jews. They should hit the showers!" And those were some of the last words I heard that person speak.
- "Why I reject 'No Enemies to the Right.' " (National Review) Sickness can spread, and we must guard against being the very thing we condemn.
