My Latest: I teach about anxiety. I tell people to cast their burdens on the Lord. Then I go home and worry until I can barely eat. On Thursday, a man asked how my day was. “Great!” I lied. Some of us are very good at teaching what we struggle to practice. (1/2)
10 minutes of TikTok was enough to impair people’s ability to remember and carry out intentions.
Twitter and YouTube didn’t show the same decline.
Rapid context-switching may be where most of cognitive cost is.
Working-age men have LOST jobs, while women have captured virtually 100% of the net new jobs.
Men not working translates into men not marrying, which translates into population rapidly falling and American power declining.
Are we in a man-cession?
I regularly speak at fraternities across the country. I often here alumni say that college was, "the best years of my life." Over the years, I've come to understand that what they mean is that college was the last time they had friends to hangout with on a regular basis.

You can know all the right Bible verses or anxiety management practices and still lie awake rehearsing disasters that haven’t happened. This week’s five articles are for those of us who can’t get out of our own heads. I needed them myself. (2/2)

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.

Stanford University removed an AI-altered photo that replaced Billy Ramirez, a first-generation Hispanic student, with an image of a Black woman, on a banner displayed on campus this fall. wapo.st/4d6zG2B
Any research on why the children of US immigrants often become socialists? RK's parents immigrated to the US from India in 1968. Free markets made Khanna a multi-millionaire. Why don't libertarians/GOPers capture them since free markets/limited gov't led to their wealth/success?
I die a little inside when I see huge chocolate advent calendars in the supermarket in September 🥲
A proportion of people are more or less eating themselves to death on sugar and processed foods. I used to be one of them. @FAS_TheCHC@TheFAIOfficial@lowcarbGP@DoctorTro
If these had been four black teens, a discussion would have ensued about “black culture,” while the real issue is socioeconomic status. “White culture” won’t be on trial in this case, and black 19-year-old college students will continue to be obscured in America’s imagination.
Wow! Those programs as been at the school since 1583. I guess there weren't enough American evangelicals (esp., from the Presbyterian world) to keep the programs open as the Church of Scotland faces extinction. You can't be from the US and brag about the University of Glasgow.
The University of Edinburgh is to stop offering its Bachelor and Master of Divinity programmes after the Church of Scotland decided to concentrate ministerial training at the University of Glasgow from next year 👇
Spain's Queen Isabella was a warmonger. She sent Christopher Columbus sailing. You know what happended. So history tells the opposite story: between 1480 and 1913, Europe’s queens were 27% more likely than its kings to wage war, according to a National Bureau of Economics.
Librarians want sexual material. Step 1: Conservatives abandon public schools: school board, principals, teachers, staff, students. Step 2: Progressives then ideologically capture school systems. Step 3: Conservatives then complain about how "woke"/deviant public schools are.
