Besides main graduation, Harvard will hold 12 "identity graduations", hastily adding a "Jewish graduation" in light of Pres. Gay's resignation and the Title VI antisemitic investigation of the university. The DEI people created this useless divisiveness.

Unfortunately, Pinker is wrong and Sapolsky is right. Determinism (or "naturalism") rules, and our "will" cannot override the laws of physics, which is what most people think of as free will. Better to ponder determinism than resort to the semantic tricks of compatibilism.

It is not helpful to use the term "terrorism" in a war when the White House only ever applies it to one side. Better to remind both Hamas and the Israeli government that humanitarian law makes it a war crime to target or indiscriminately fire on civilians.
