"Authoritarians hate sociology because sociology’s mandate is to dissect society and criticize systemic problems. Sociology challenges power by scientifically observing it and publicly reporting on how power works."
Trump bans sociology concepts. Why? Because sociology is dangerous to authoritarians.

Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?
