It's interesting to observe how the formerly Campus Free Speech crowd configures their support for cracking down on Palestine solidarity: those protests do not reflect "reason and free thought," so their speech should not be protected.

Hi @NAChristakis , as a social scientist, you know the importance of representativeness. I see on your timeline that you repeatedly amplify the posts of one individual who gained prominence claiming Yale is full of anti-semites. Please visit the encampment and judge for yourself.

If you issue a loan you know isn’t going to be repaid, you’re baking in non-repayment from the start.

This misleading PPP/student loans talking point refuses to die. The loans were 100% intended to be turned into grants, it was baked into the policy from the start. The type of student loans under discussion were not designed the same way.

A lot of them are hired specifically to oversee the financial demise of their institutions. That’s what the political power structure wants to happen to public universities that act in any way to undermine social hierarchies.

Elites consider legacy admissions policies to be fully consistent with meritocracy and affirmative action isn’t. Eugenicism is the ideology that makes these views consistent.

Duke admits 11% of the general applicants but 23% of legacy applicants—whose parents and grandparents parents were accepted during Jim Crow. Duke didn’t even accept Black students until 1963. Now Black scholarships are banned but racist Jim Crow Legacy thrives. This is America.

My grad school roommate told me when he worked at a quant hedge fund, they'd scrawl nonsense math on whiteboards before client meetings to make themselves look smart & nerdy. It's like in Mad Men when they have a giant IBM computer in the office for no reason.

Another big topic: the worst people in the world look like they're going to get what they want. Namely the higher ed policy establishment (+ college administrators) always hated both cancellation and the pause, because those policies reveal that the system doesn't work.

The whole “greedflation” thing reminds of the time 6 out of 7 members of a cartel admitted illegality. Econ expert for the 7th concocted a story about how the conduct wasn’t coordinated. On cross was asked “are you aware that the other 6 admitted it & implicated your client?”

Like Tom Malinowski said, the machine exists not to win hard elections but decide who’s allowed to win easy ones, which is downstream from Congress (and other offices) becoming resume lines for a lucrative lobbying or nonprofit exec career, rather than actually doing anything.
