I don't have to have an opinion on this. Opinion is the mind-killer. Opinion is the brain-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my opinion. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the opinion has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

"jarring" skepticism
reminder that when institutions don't deserve trust, the solution is to start being trustworthy, not doubling down on failure and shrieking "don't you know who I AM??"
Cornell just produced a massive new report on higher education noting that companies have a “jarring” skepticism of higher ed thanks to a new generation of degree holders who lack key skills like handling uncertainty, compromising, and absorbing feedback.
Faculty also report that incoming students, despite four years of undergraduate education, are “underdeveloped” in these relational or interpersonal skills.
This is a serious crises in higher education and the report calls for a greater need for conflict-resolution training. We need to do a better job training our students to deal with these issues.
These are traditionally the skills students developed in higher education. I loved college because it challenged me, sparked debate, and required me to grapple with complexity. This should be an essential part of college--inside and outside the classroom.

"Did we support Jason Arday enough, or should we have supported him even harder?"
Reminded of the time NPR had David Brooks and EJ Dionne on to debate the important question: "Are we bombing Syria enough, or do we need to bomb it even harder?"
Cambridge is no longer planning to investigate Jason Arday’s academic record or the university’s decision to hire or cover for him.
Instead, the investigation will focus on “his welfare, his care, his well-being” and “whether the school offered him sufficient support amid accusations that he plagiarized.”

As a power move I’ve started bringing Chinese liquor to job interviews and slamming shots between questions. When I offer some to the interviewer, they always say no. Then I say, “Ah, does it pain you—that I am free, and you are not?”

if you are an actual STEM person who is also an actual humanities person at the same time they let you in the secret postrat gc
to date no one has been allowed in the secret postrat gc
A pretty common criticism of rationalists is that they're "STEM people who think they're humanities people" but it's really the opposite

the history of the domestic cat is the history of a species’s encounter with an alien superintelligence in which that superintelligence is quickly aligned and its forces used to secure superabundance and lasting prosperity
