DeBoer renovated it into a vape shop. He should have been fired just for approving those plans.

In my closing remarks, I returned to this theme of education: “I have found that the looming presence of AI makes the old mental disciplines of the liberal arts vastly more necessary, not less. It makes their value more apparent to students as well.”

Of interest perhaps to @JamesWHankins1, @RalstonCollege, @stephenblackwd, @alexpriou, @uaustinorg

You have to get practice doing the thing. Not once but hundreds and hundreds of times. Get your hours. Get stronger, smarter, wiser with each turn.

"Revenge is an admission of pain: a mind that is bowed by injury is not a great mind." - Seneca

Plato's Republic is largely, though not exclusively, a conversation between Socrates, Glaucon, and Adeimantus. Glaucon and Adeimantus were brothers (of Plato). I always found it remarkable and instructive that this foundational cornerstone of Western philosophy is basically a couple of brothers talking to a philosopher. Why? Because it reminds you that you can run through almost the whole breadth of the human situation in an intelligent conversation with a handful of people, provided they embody a type or paradigmatic way of looking at things, which many do.
