Worth reading for lots of reasons, but particularly because it closes with something I see in my work and travels speaking on writing and AI. Many, maybe most students do not want AI-mediated schooling or lives. We can offer them something better. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

In Aug., the NY Young Republican Club posted a statement to its website in support of the AfD. The statement concluded with the phrase “AfD über alles” in bold, a play on the line “Deutschland über alles,” which was frequently used in Nazi propaganda www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Breaking: people with “struggle unless they are interested” disorder do well once they can work in an area that interests them
An increase in ADHD after No Child Left Behind is not evidence — it's correlational and diagnoses have been rising for decades.
"Kids don't like school!" also isn't evidence. Kids have always disliked school. Without a comparison to previous cohorts this is meaningless.

What’s funny is that Fox News spent days hyping this as a Showdown with Socialism and Mamdani effortlessly charmed him to the point of hypnosis in like an hour. Trump’s joining DSA by midnight if Stephen Miller doesn’t get him out of there.

there are about a million different incentives for Zohran to play this the way he did, it's very funny that there's basically no reason for Trump to behave this way except that 1. he loves celebrities 2. is obsessed with being liked in New York City and 3. was clearly charmed... and that worked

I am LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY at this meeting! Republican campaign consultants built their entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani into the devil incarnate and the face of Democratic Party, then Trump slobbers all over him today in the Oval!

If one more undergraduate student calls me “Mr. Grosser” I am going to scream.
As a way of mitigating this I propose primary school teachers should have to live with getting called by their first names.

Man I hate when people sanctimoniously reply to stuff with “this shouldn’t be surprising to you” but your whole job is to not be surprised by this kind of thing!!
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

If you don’t have an intuitive sense of how hard it is to know things, and how much labor is involved in even contingent and uncertain forms of knowing, then you are fundamentally not equipped to evaluate the strengths of different claims you encounter.
