91 years is a good long run for most but too short for someone like Jane Goodall. Damn.

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

If you are an academic who wants to write a general interest book, you should be making a habit of reading general interest books *in a field that’s not yours.* I.e., if you’re a historian of the 19th century US, you should be reading about colonizing Mars or cannibalistic bugs, not medieval Europe.
