Worth reading for lots of reasons, but particularly because it closes with something I see in my work and travels speaking on writing and AI. Many, maybe most students do not want AI-mediated schooling or lives. We can offer them something better. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Most PhD students fail at research questions.

Guilt, regret, & nostalgia keep us trapped in a past that no longer exists. Hope, anxiety, & fear pull us into a future that hasn’t arrived and may never come. Both take us away from the only moment we can inhabit. Interestingly, even the “present” emotions here are often tinged with past or future.
"Time is experienced on an emotional level as well as a cognitive one"
"Guilt, shame, regret, and nostalgia look back to the past; pride, joy, anger, and sadness are felt in the present; and hope, anxiety, and fear look to the future."

These are absolutely delicious. A traditional Japanese confectionary with Yuzu (citrus fruit) flavor. Made of white bean paste with Yuzu filling sandwiched between two thin rice crisp wafers made from rice powder. Can’t stop!
