The right wingers have him!? I didn’t realize!

E.g. Recently the CEO of Blackrock said he didn’t want finance or comp sci majors. He wanted history majors and English majors. Goldman Sachs agreed. / 3 fortune.com/2024/05/17/b...

Thanks!

Congrats! How does one keep track of such metrics? I know how to track mentions, but nothing else.

So glad this work is being done. I teach so many female nursing students every year.

Plus the reading load in such programs often seems to fly in the face of accreditation guidelines for out-of-class hours, pushing students to breeze through life changing texts way too quickly to really be appreciated. Maybe things were different at Tulsa though.

There’s a lot of truth here, but even as a huge fan of liberal ed and book reading, I’m skeptical of the great books model as the sole approach. I prefer a mix of Socratic style seminar sessions with other class formats, since short lectures, in-class writing, etc are often pedagogically valuable

I’d say to contact an editor who’s higher up. I don’t think I was ever ghosted for that long but there have definitely been times when weeks would go by after I sent an email, then more weeks after a follow-up, after which I’d start asking others who work with the person what’s going on.

This is awful

4. Reason is undervalued everywhere we look, with faith, emotions, and base appetites ruling the day.

3. There are very few, if any, places where all people have equal basic rights…

2. Church and state are still very much intertwined throughout the world: Note the 3 theocracies destroying the Middle East right now…

I wouldn’t call him a philosopher and I’m sure there were some true nihilists in the thousands of years of human history that predate him

Will it be required? Or perhaps incentivized by fulfilling certain requirements?

Wrote lots of interesting stuff—that’s true—but it is inaccurate to say Western Europe was in the dark at that time.
