The problem with education is that it's a solved problem. Students need small classes, individual attention, lots of writing, lots of feedback, access to a well-stocked library, time to think, and time to talk with their peers. We just don't like the answer, so we keep trying to do other stuff.

Romanian politics: Calin Georgescu gets arrested and uses his spotlight to declare that the far-right AUR, who supports him, technically, and its leader George Simion, who did a "we are all Georgescu" schtick, are vile agents of "The System" and the Deep State

The most important task of democrats is not to change the minds of far-rightists — they are a minority and hard to change. The most important task of democrats is to change the minds of people who believe “the left” or “the establishment” are worse than the far right.

My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

Yes. It does not matter if you think the Kennedy Center is bougie: private individuals do not get to destroy public goods. If you budge one iota on this stance, then you lose the right to object when he demands bits of the national parks as a treat. You've already agreed with him on the principle.

East German files from 1980s reveal that Soviet policy was to conduct talks with Japan, not with any intention of resolving the territorial issue, but as a way of encouraging Japanese engagement & manipulating public opinion. - True in post-Soviet era too. www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

北方領土、ドイツ機密文書が映すロシアの本音 「対話の期待」逆手に - 日本経済新聞
ロシアのプーチン大統領が8月、北方領土を訪問した。これを「求心力を保つため、やむを得ず演じた国内向けパフォーマンス」と片づけてはならない。いまのプーチン氏には領土交渉で実質的に譲歩する意思がないとみるべきだ。ウクライナはもちろん、欧州の政策当局者は表向き日本の立場を支持する。一方で解決が難しい問題だともみてきた。ある東欧の首脳は「日米同盟を破棄しない限り、領土問題は進まないだろう」と語る。

Is Meta using disabled people to promote its glasses?
AI glasses are a double-edged sword for disabled people, who face unique risks from surveillance.

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.
