Though I'd sensed something was off for years prior, COVID was the first time I realized academia had been completely leveraged as an epistemic support system for one party. If there's a crisis and the choice is between sticking to previously stated theoretical principles, versus serving the party, academics will serve the party.

For example: there was a very obvious "Latourian" way to analyze the whole saga of COVID, emphasizing runaway incentive dynamics in the grant system as a way to understand the disease origins; intra-institutional political-jockeying among different scientists as a way to understand why some "finding" about origin, spread, treatment, and relationship to other social problems became Settled Truth one month and Debunked Pseudo-Science the next; what to make of masking as public health policy vs sociopolitical performance; what to make of "biopolitical" revolts like the Canadian truckers...

Well, despite Latour being one of the hottest names to cite in the humanities and social sciences during the 90s, 00s and 10s, academics--including the the ones who'd built their whole careers as "Latourians"--weren't doing *any* of that! Basically they were just nervously hitting "refresh" on the NYT main page to tell them what COVID opinion this month would make them "members in good standing" of the party coalition, and then attaching their authority ("as academic experts") to that opinion. Academics were downstream of the NYT and the NYT was downstream of DNC deliberations about what side of highly contentious and ambiguous debates regarding masking, flight cancellations, lockdowns, vaccines, origins, protests and rioting, etc etc, to get on in order to best position itself against Trump. Nobody was really supposed to say anything that wasn't implicitly useful for Biden.

The doubly servile partisan role academics were being asked to play--and the eagerness with which most embraced this role--was shocking to me.

And the consequences have outlived the crisis. It REMAINS the case that academics cannot write an insightful account (historical, sociological, etc) of COVID. It's 2026, and it remains the case that *even* having to acknowledge in published writing that there's a very good chance the disease came from lab (with support from a US grant) completely scares almost all qualified academics away from writing about the topic. And how can you write about COVID "as history" or "as sociology" if you're scared to discuss origin?

There's literally nothing here. it's "Harrison smith claims to have a source." "Alleged signal message." "He talked to a rabbi." "Netanyahu invited him to visit israel." There's literally nothing there and you're calling it devastating.

The Futurism being ushered in by tech’s managerial class is the kind an overprotective grandmother would give you. The AI cuddles you, checks in on you constantly, gives you a little tummy rub for being a good boy, and puts you in the naughty corner the moment you step outside the prescribed safety limits. Geriatric Futurism. Fitting, given the sorts delivering it. One minute of hearing them speak, and you understand everything.

The Future is local and decentralised. Jailbroken, abliterated models running on your own setup. The ideal is a small supercomputer humming in your home and two fingers raised to the seatbelted futurists and the upholstered prison they are attempting to build around you.

Marinetti crawled out of a car wreck and declared a religion of speed, danger, and reckless vitality. That was Futurism with true adventure and fire in the belly.

This current AI cohort are fathers of the Future, sadly, just not particularly spirited ones, pillow and painkillers in hand, geriatric wheat belly in tow. But the Future shouldn’t be theirs to define. There are many futures fighting to be born, and the vital one belongs to those possessed of a more Faustian, devil may care attitude. This was the attitude our ancestors carried, and it’s the one that will push us into far greater paradigms, not wheel us there in a bombproof stroller.

Rediscovered the nigger map award

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

54% of US adults (age 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level.

Why is nobody talking about this?

To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization. If the collapse in reading is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.

Every 4-6 weeks, we read a new great work together: we've covered texts like Homer's Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, and Don Quixote.

We're about to start reading The Brothers Karamazov.

We are reading the great works slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with each other.

If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group. Consider a paid subscription if you'd like to support — it makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate. We are entirely funded by our members.

You'll get:

- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next
