The fun thing about working in policy is you notice how every sector and group thinks it's uniquely misunderstood and maltreated by the government: university people, trust me when I say farmers, small businesses, big businesses, finance, utility companies all feel similarly conspiratorial
I actually disagree with this pretty profoundly, I think the surface read of UK higher education policy for at least a decade going on more is a series of messy compromises that satisfy no party because successive regimes flail and aren't quite willing to devote time / political capital to the topic
I’m not a conspiratorial person, but it’s hard not to see an overarching plan behind what’s been done to UK higher education.

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

Speaking as a site publisher of twenty years and a forum moderator for ten years before that, it's impossible to devise a moderating strategy that will be fair across the board, keep all of the platform's user's safe, and remain utterly consistent in all cases.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all
“We are under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but worse—they don’t wear a uniform.”
This is the President of the United States, who ordered the entire leadership of our military to sit and listen to him, speaking a few minutes ago.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

The most useful part of standpoint epistemology is internalizing that other’s views are grounded in who/where they are rather than emerging form a vacuum, but this is often taken too far to believing you can’t make determinations about said views due to this, which is nonsense.
