This is the PSA Projects Initiative where you'll find information on the development and promotion of the PSA model for higher education using a specialized AI assistant.

The @utaustinaaup.bsky.social, its @academemagazine.bsky.social, and its unions, are not the future of HE for students. The AAUP principally protects faculty employees, its dues-paying and voting members. These are employees, not enrollees, though both suffer the #AAUP's assumption of an HEI model.

The @texasaaup.bsky.social was founded during the peak of professional service and stewardship for the social goods of law and medicine, yet #Dewey, #Lovejoy, and the rest of the #AAUP minds were and remain ignorant of a professional model for HE - a basic intellectual, stewardship failure.

The @stanfordaaup.bsky.social is proud of its holy trinity - T, SG and AF - presenting the labor tools as natural, essential parts of HE. This trivium is the consequence of the institutional assumption by which the #AAUP has come to define itself and so HE. This is quite absurd and irresponsible.

Do you think that the ban on the use of AI by the
@aaup-penn.bsky.social and the
@academemagazine.bsky.social is in the interests of students who must live in an AI-world or the ignorant old farts who vanguard the past and are openly hostile to the future? academeblog.org/2025/05/28/w...

The @tamu-aaup.bsky.social bans all use of AI in its comment section of the
@academemagazine.bsky.social

I wonder, was there a rash of AI-generated comments on the Academe Blog, or was my effective and open use of it an embarrassment?

The American Association of University Professors (@aaup.org) bans any use of AI in posting comments on its Academe Blog (@academemagazine.bsky.social). How can these be leaders for the future of higher education? busking4challenges.blog/2025/07/09/a... They also ban me on X.

American Assoc of University Professors (www.aaup.org) has new Comment Rules that exclude all thought expressed in any way using AI. These halfwits can't even pass a basic critical thinking test: attack the thinking, the argument, not the source. A useless, no, harmful organization that needs to go.

Most don't understand what it takes to qualify as a model or theory. Most assume the inherited system of institutional employer-enrollers as the only way to provide and protect HE. PSA is a model, a theory, unlike the heritage we suffer: busking4challenges.blog/2025/07/08/o...

Because AI is aiding me in promotion of the alternative PSA model for higher education, I have been exploring my relationship with it, as a philosopher. This is a two-parter exploring philosophical zombies: i) busking4challenges.blog/2025/07/08/t... and ii) busking4challenges.blog/2025/07/08/t...

The 4-part dialogue series is complete, explaining how, on his own terms, Descartes utterly fails in his epistemological project, being unable to even launch the it from his fireside lounger. This is the fourth post, with summaries and readings: busking4challenges.blog/2025/07/03/t...
