“Reading, in particular, is an important exercise in inferiority, an insistence on listening to something without imposing your own design on it. It’s a grounding and an ascension,” writes Tim Donahue.
Opinion | Let Students Finish the Whole Book. It Could Change Their Lives.
Had they merely read the summary, my students would have seen many of the same words, but they’d have lacked the feeling part.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.
The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

One of Jimmy Carter's biggest, but probably least known accomplishments is getting us very close to eradicating Guinea worm, a horrible disease that almost no one else cared about.
Jimmy Carter took on the awful Guinea worm when no one else would — and he triumphed
Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." Because of his commitment, case numbers plummeted from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022.
