Something I didn't get to say yesterday:
We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.

It has been really interesting to attend UNESCO's Digital Learning Week (though unfortunately I'm not able to stick around). My public lecture from yesterday can be found here:

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once:
— virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— against increasing the minimum wage
— buys foreign imports because they're cheap

I've been thinking a lot about Lisa Cook fighting to *stay* at the Fed vs. CDC leaders *leaving* the CDC.
Productive noncompliance looks different under different circumstances. "No, I won't get out of your way" vs. "No, I won't help you do harm."

Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years:
-gender does not cause them
-SSRIs, no
-mental illness, no
-internet/gaming, no
Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo:
suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
-gender does not cause them
-SSRIs, no
-mental illness, no
-internet/gaming, no

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.

Today, we remember Max Horkheimer, a leading figure of the Frankfurt School and one of the most influential voices in 20th-century critical theory. In his work, Horkheimer offered an early and powerful critique of technology as a social and political force.
