I do these lectures and people ask me, “BUT WHAT ABOUT AI?!”

Which A.I.? Where? When? Under what conditions?

Telling me it’s inevitable and it changes everything is like asking me to critique policy in a Grimm’s fairytale.

As best as I can tell, the board has been running Columbia, and the board didn't so much surrender to Trump as draw up a list of demands for him to issue. The board, Trump, and the Free Press are all on the same page.

Presidents of R1s are run by board of Trustees who are conservative as heck and don’t want to see their corporate wealth deteriorate in the companies they hold. Presidents aren’t going to buck that.

Do I need to log off? I am not sure what you speak of, but I do not want to know.

You should stroll into class in shades, play Lil Nas X's 'Montero' video, and say "That's the lesson."

Or, you know, cut your bodymind some slack and cancel!
