In this post, I argue that most of the troubles facing the American university have a single root cause: the university's attempt to become America's last functional institution of social integration.

@nfergus A number of your books changed my thinking in very positive ways. It taught me to wrestle with ideas I may not agree with. You and @tylercowen have helped a small town country boy expand his worldview. I try, in my own small way, to pass that on to others where I can.

@taylordsparks @uncledoomer This was great.

[Pratt Rogers @prattrogers]

@cowenconvos @tylercowen Possible to do a CWT with @anecdotal at @UUtah on AI and education? You both have interesting and timely insights on it.

@taylordsparks @Manhattva I would like to go to this lunch as well. I'll buy!

@Noahpinion The idea of a ‘heritage American��� is the most European ideology to crop up in the United States in some time—and it strikes at the very heart of the country’s revolutionary founding narrative.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The heritage of America is not contained within the blood of the people who are descended from those who founded it, but in the ideas and institutions they created and left for us.

The US Navy has managed a total of 273 nuclear reactors, 6200 reactor-years, over 177 million miles, averaging 4 new reactors per year over 70 years.

They have done this with a perfect safety record.

Zero accidents.

Zero injuries, zero deaths, zero environmental pollution.

Mining Is Not What it Used to Be https://t.co/yi1JQ9880i Mining does not need self-flagellating, head-to-toe reform before policymakers can consider policy support measures to source new mineral supplies used in clean energy technologies.

Tough Rocks https://t.co/4rTfkXhHiB Solid read on rare earths and some interesting policy recommendations

[Claire Lehmann @clairlemon]

Victimhood culture stems from over-feminisation; honour culture from over-masculinisation. Dignity culture restrains both.

@taylordsparks This was a perfect day for Mountain biking! Glad we made it.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Spencer Cox is one of the best leaders in America. Decency, grace, eloquence, and an understanding of the problems we need to fix. He has long been working to reduce the dangers of polarization for our politics, and of social media for our kids

This is basically how I learned English. My parents just gave me fantasy (and later, sci-fi) novels to read, and I'd look up every word I didn't know.

Waymo is so safe that if every car was driven like a Waymo, about 9% of America's life expectancy gap would disappear.

9 percent

Americans die in car accidents *that often*.
