So easy for a billionaire to fix this, with no real financial consequences for them. But hey, that could be said of a million other worthy causes that billionaires don’t support.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

So many university websites are focussed on corporate branding & "selling" the university. If we really want the public to see and relate to their local universities, we need uni webpages to be more like a public botanical garden: a welcoming & interesting place, with added depth if you want it.

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

Tradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’
The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’

In Uruguay, families co-own and co-build their homes through housing cooperatives. Some chip in savings, others swing hammers. The result? Affordable, dignified housing that stays off the private market, and a blueprint the world can learn from.
