Second the honourable member from
NYC

lol

I wonder how he'll feel about NGE?

He's gonna advocate for the coercive rearrangement of desire

I'm expecting "The Will to Change" next

Heidegger: I have explained the theme of my Rectorate in my inaugural address, “What is Metaphysics?” Douthat: The “nothing nothings?” Or do you mean “The much-lauded ‘academic freedom’ will be expelled from the German university; for this freedom was not genuine because it was only negative”? Do you think, you know, the Trump Administration has been successful, finally, in instituting some of the reforms you’ve been advocating? Do you think that HHS under RFK Jr., isn’t actually a view of science that incorporates the nothing? Heidegger: I’m not really familiar with the American university system. Douthat: But don’t you think you, maybe your bedfellows, have been at least a bit influential on…Stephen Miller, at least? Heidegger: Clears his throat Douthat: Ok, ok. So I understand if you don’t want to talk about that. But

Douthat did his best to bear up under the peal of silence during his recent podcast chat with Martin Heidegger (appreciate @mattdinan.bsky.social for transcribing) mattdinan.substack.com/p/interestin...

That would ironically show a wonderful love of humanity overall, lol

Let's be totally clear: the ideology of these technologists is radically anti-humanist. Education, work, and now even human metabolism are a problem for these people *because they detest humanity as such*

I am almost grateful because it's never been easier to show what education *actually* is

My beloved friend Samuel Stoner is a Kant scholar who deserves a tender good night from Richie.

John Mitnick @JohnMitnick I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now. George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Happy first day of classes! I am teaching The Prince today, a book which is unfortunately utterly devoid of contemporary relevance

At least the woke censors have finally figured out that some things are genuinely subversive

Yeah, that part is sort of difficult.

This Know Your Enemy episode with @mattdinan.bsky.social is everything I hoped for from the description. In our response to AI in education this is the attitude we must take, attack the demand side by showing students there is something much better. www.patreon.com/posts/great-...

Thanks, Adam!

Loved this episode on my morning run today. @mattdinan.bsky.social giving some inspiration for the coming semester!

I have never saved an article faster

Frank, I am very disappointed in you.

oh, that is a good tweet

He even looks like you in this picture

The Republic Book IX remains the most essential political reading of the current era.

Is this collegiality? The society of scholars? 🦋

Matt Dinan on teaching writing amidst the apocalypse @mattdinan.bsky.social

Jacob, I was inspired by your approach, as I say in a footnote!

Posting this important @mattdinan.bsky.social piece again. I recognized the challenge in the extract 20 years ago because in the courses I taught, students were all conscripts, not volunteers. I had to introduce them to the pleasures and challenges of writing. mattdinan.substack.com/p/the-ai-ske...

Thanks, John. I think this situation can actually be a huge opportunity for us to re-commit to authentic liberal arts education.
