Love to have Cory’s support. RSS is patient. Only 22 years since it took off. It’s always ready to “deshitify” the corporate Silicon Valley disneyfied web.

1. Charles Koch recently transferred more than $5 billion to two secretive organizations
The donations are structured to allow Koch to avoid BILLIONS in taxes but the money can still be used directly in political campaigns
It's an audacious scheme
Here is how it works

Analytic philosophy as explication of the intuitions of Philosophy Dons. C.f. Foucault on epistemes. Seldom do the Dons test their intuitions against the Porter at the Gates. My intro was “the concept of heed.” As opposed to mind. Heed your head or mind it? Discuss.

"Not the odds, but the stakes."
That's my shortand for the organizing principle we most need from journalists covering the 2024 election. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy.
Here's an example of stakes reporting. nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/po…
As a former Yale Grad Student, found this quite compelling. Radical left breeds radical right. Intolerance creates intolerance. Deconstruction of truth is balanced by conspiracy theories. Power as the master term. omerazizwriter.substack.com/…

The opportunity to learn. The means. The learning is the student’s job, though a good teacher can sometimes outwit a closed and reactive mind.
Thank you! @letsquitteachin This arrived this week. Started reading and couldn't quit. Sharing quotes with whomever would listen. "I never want to say to myself again, "I am a great teacher", .... Learning is what we are paid to provide". -Jason Kennedy

@DanRather: "A horse race confers an equivalence upon all candidates. The only detail that matters is who is going to win — not all that might be lost. To view America through that lens today is an exercise in the absurd." steady.substack.com/p/the-da…

I asked GPT-4 to create a mini Harvard Business School case study on Google’s challenges releasing a fictional generative AI along with an instructors note on running the case. It is actually quite good (and the references are real!)
Prompt: “You will write a Harvard Business School case on the topic of Google managing AI, when subject to Arrow’s cannibalization problem and the innovator’s dilemma.
Chain of thought:
step 1. Consider how these concepts relate to google.
step 2: write a case that revolves around a dilemma at google about releasing a generative AI system that could compete with search
step 3: write an instructors note. “

I think in the shower. Today's shower was devoted to reflecting on the fact that there are some things I will simply no longer teach
Because it's a near-certainty some will misunderstand. And some among them will then try to treat me as their punching bag
It's just not worth it

Tabia Lee—a black woman with a long history of teaching antiracism—was fired from her job as DEI director at a California community college.
Her crime? Using written agendas for meetings—a mark of “white supremacy.”
In COMPACT she tells her story. compactmag.com/article/a-bla…
