Appropriate to remember:

It's a historical fact that Jesus was crucified and killed because government and the social elite thought he was spreading disinformation.

Productivity growth via tech like the internal combustion engine, oil, and synthetic fertilizers (Haber-Bosch) has driven far more poverty reduction than taxation. These innovations mechanized farming, cut labor 95%+, quadrupled yields, and fed billions—supporting 40-50% of today's population. Charts show GDP/ag output inversely tracks extreme poverty across regions since 1820.

@GrandRevival45 @jakebackpack No sport beats UFC for core alignment with US military enlisted.UFC nails the warrior ethos, one-on-one combat, toughness & discipline that junior enlisted love. Direct military partnerships seal it.

After conversation with Grok:
Good science has always been about intellectual honesty and careful reasoning, not about who physically typed the words. Professors who treat AI as an existential threat to this standard are missing the point. The real threat is students (and researchers) who outsource judgment itself. Teaching rigorous self-evaluation is the best way to make AI a genuine force multiplier rather than a crutch or a cheat. Those who do this well will produce far stronger PhDs. Those who don’t will graduate people who can generate impressive documents but cannot defend or extend the underlying science. The professor’s job is therefore shifting from “gatekeeper of prose” to coach of epistemic rigor. Students should be required to:
Show their prompting history and iteration process (like showing lab notebooks).
Defend why they accepted or rejected AI suggestions — in their own words.
Run their own “red team” review before submission.
Demonstrate they understand every part of the proposal at a level where they could explain it without AI present.

[NHThinker ╖⁄⁄ @NHThinker1]

You are living in the past..
Today's students are as comfortable with using AI with prose assistance and for help sorting through research as you are comfortable using a spell-checker. The neurodivergent and displexic that think about problems deeply are greatly aided by AI. Your students aren't using the right prompts or sophisticated enough AI not to produce rubbish. The AI can now evaluate whether its product includes: identifying a scientific problem, figuring out how to test hypotheses, collecting data and actually writing it into a coherent thesis. Teach your students to use AI the right way.

Grok: Summary of Media Treatment of Democratic Administrations in the 1960s–1970s by 60 Minutes
The pattern of “softer treatment or quick pivots away from leadership accountability during Democratic administrations” did not hold true in the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson faced some of the most damaging media scrutiny of the postwar era. By the mid-1960s, elite media shifted from initial deference to aggressive adversarial coverage of LBJ’s Vietnam War policies. The phrase “credibility gap” became shorthand for accusations that the administration systematically misled the public about progress, troop levels, costs, and body counts. Graphic television images and battlefield reporting eroded public support. Walter Cronkite’s February 1968 broadcast declaring the war a “stalemate” after the Tet Offensive was so influential that LBJ reportedly remarked he had lost Middle America. This coverage contributed directly to Johnson’s decision not to seek re-election.The Bobby Baker scandal (1963 onward) also received significant attention. Baker, LBJ’s longtime protégé and Senate aide, was embroiled in influence-peddling, bribery, and sex scandals. Major outlets including Life magazine, Time, and The Washington Post ran exposés, and Senate investigations kept the story alive even after LBJ became president. By contrast, the Watergate scandal (1972–1974) under Republican President Richard Nixon triggered relentless investigative journalism, especially by The Washington Post, culminating in Nixon’s resignation. This episode cemented the press’s modern “watchdog” identity, directed primarily at a Republican administration.While many elite journalists leaned liberal and supported Democratic domestic programs, this ideological sympathy did not shield Democratic presidents from harsh accountability on foreign policy failures or personal scandals. The 1960s–1970s marked a broader rise in adversarial journalism rather than consistent partisan protection of Democrats. The perception of softer treatment for Democratic administrations emerged more clearly in later decades.

According to Themmen, in Wonka creator Roald Dahl‘s novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, on which the film was based, “Grandpa Joe had a long pinkie nail, which actually was because he used to play the guitar.

“People will find mystery and mischief where they want to find it,” Themmen mused.

@ResisttheMS Modern feminism is specicide: it results in fertility rate << 2.1.
They argue unless society changes to make childrearing less sacreficial, society deserves fewer children.
European countries where society at large absorbs cost of child-rearing, still have fertility rate << 2.1
