Tenure's nice for old academics, but the process of getting it selects against the bold truth-telling that is its ostensible rationale. It should be abolished, and if we must pay academics more to compensate for the loss of a valuable fringe benefit, that would be a good trade.

This is how you know this organization is unserious. One attempted sanction is too many? That means there is literally no circumstance under which a professor should be curtailed, including outright falsehoods and blatant bigotry. That's not a workable world.

@VivanMarwaha @ishaantharoor This is so embarrassing for you. Should there be “diverse ideological thought” on whether the earth is warming? On whether vaccines work? On whether tax cuts for the rich “trickle down” to the poor? R orthodoxy is at odds with evidence. We don’t need diversity of that thought.

@DavidLBernstein @sherpaCato @ProfJoshuaA See the thing is that there are conservatives in academia. Cap and trade and the ACA came from conservative think tanks. But the Republican Party has become unmoored from reality so Republican ideas are not brilliant and that is what you really mean when you say conservative.

When looking at Clarence Thomas' corruption remember that in Louisiana a conviction was upheld because a guy said "I want my lawyer, dog" and the Court (not the USSC) construed him as not asking for counsel but instead a dog that was a lawyer.
