Red states, especially those that have grown rapidly, must aim high in both ability and alignment for university leaders. They have the power to transform their universities into national leaders—and models of how higher ed should function.
The FIX IS IN on Boise State's Prez search? External candidates for BSU president are calling me worried that the search process has a predetermined outcome. They are telling me that they will not apply because the fix is in for an internal candidate. BSU's search firm is…
Besides AI resilience, Oxford tutorial method good approach for would-be disruptive educational models. It’s a very lean approach with minimal coordination/logistical needs, and can scale down to single student.
Oxford tutorial method seems like promising approach to AI disruption of writing assignments. Routine: every 1-2 weeks, student selects (from several options) a topic with readings + ~6-page paper; then a few days after submitting paper, student meets with the “tutor” (prof or…
You might be wondering if DEI plays a role in deciding who gets organs. If you guessed yes, you’d be right! On his way out the door, Biden updated Medicare to penalize providers for “disparities” due to race. Let’s fix this @SecKennedy

This is the central problem with higher education in the age of AI. We can't require students to do take-home writing assignments (e.g. term papers) any more, because most will cheat and have ChatGPT or Claude or Grok do the writing. But we can't teach critical thinking,…
A tale of two QTs, one from me (40K followers), one from the odious James Lindsey (supposedly 550K followers). Me: 1.2K likes. Him: 30 likes. These people, the Catamite Right, would disappear entirely if we ignored them (and the Chinese stopped funding them).
It’s good to see this resolved. My impression is @patrickc and @collision have genuine convictions against viewpoint-based deplatforming. We do need to work to stop the bureaucratic tyranny that can result in actions like this despite the intentions of company leaders.
I’m pleased to say Stripe has reached out to resolve this strange issue, which appears to have begun with a government administrative error rather than intentional de-banking. As we investigate, I’m even more pleased to say that we’re also exploring legislative solutions to the…
THANK YOU 🎩 ✨
It's always good for the truth to come out, hence why I don't mind people obsessing over "new" Russiagate findings, even though Amanda Milius covered all of this in her film, based on Lee Smith's book, The Plot Against the President. We haven't learned anything new yet tho.
Enterprise software: Alpha goes to huge, bureaucratic multinationals AI: Alpha goes to individual users and agile companies
AI is a transformative technology. But it is likely that most of the alpha goes to savvy users of AI, rather than AI companies. Today’s financial markets are good at channeling capital to the largest AI companies, driving current valuations. The big reward will be for those…

MARKET MELTDOWN? AI STOCKS LOOK LIKE TECH BUBBLE 2.0 Wall Street veterans say AI hype has gone full dot-com, and then some. They warn that the top 10 S&P 500 stocks (like Nvidia and Meta) now carry even higher P/E ratios than during the 1999 tech crash. Almost 40% of the…
An unstable Middle East is bad for everyone, but seems Christians are the biggest losers almost anywhere you look.
ICYMI Pastor Khalid Mezher, leader of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in Suwayda, Syria, was slain alongside 20 family members when Islamist militants raided their home. Strangely, this received no coverage in the Western media.
It's incredible that some in the pro-Israel camp think Joel Berry and others in his orbit are effectively combatting anti-Semitism and more broadly the dissident right, when in reality they're clearly having the opposite effect.
It should be stressed that Joel’s response was not Israel’s.
People use this language when they are losing and want to get the other side to start infighting. But a working man and a billionaire get along quite well when they want the same things—namely, a civilized country of their own. And that is what James here is decidedly against.
The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom. Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power. I went on @joerogan’s show to bridge the divide and build a coalition big enough to take power back.
Heartbreaking. Christians in Syria are being slaughtered. Pray for their protection.
Pastor Khalid Mezher, leader of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church, was killed in Sweida following the jihadist invasion, along with his entire family, his siblings, their children, and his parents. Originally from a Druze background, Pastor Mezher and his entire family had…
This is an excellent piece, though I’d propose one twist: @lucca_ruggieri suggests renewal of concept of quasi-aristocratic fraternal societies — with strong bonds of internal loyalty and of civic duty, and actual buildings in which these relationships form and grow — at Ivy…
"The modern university—especially the Ivy League—is a machine built to erase the memory of the old world, not preserve it." Taking back the Ivy League starts with ambitious young men with vision. @lucca_ruggieri explains in his debut piece. americanmind.org/salvo/brotherh…
