This piece by @shoufuyin.bsky.social is the most revolutionizing article in intellectual history I’ve read in years. It seriously changes how one thinks about liberty and the dissemination of political ideas. Finally out at APSR!
Feel so encouraged! So many friends, colleagues, and mentors have helped and supported me throughout this process—my gratitude is beyond words.

1/3 Someone's complaints about Intro to PoliSci being taught in a hard "scientific" way reminded me of my Intro in grad school, which is still among the best courses I've ever taken. It was taught by Bill Scheuerman and, notably, involved a section of disciplinary history.
