Hey did you know that Paul Henreid directed and starred in movie about the dangers of frat culture, specifically hazing. It's called For Men Only (1952) but also went by the title The Tall Lie. www.tcm.com/articles/158...

"As things stand, students who commit infractions like plagiarism ... are often punished more harshly than the male students directly responsible for making the campus dangerous for female ones. Until there is zero tolerance for sexual assault on campus, women will not be protected here."

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

if we felt like it, we could make the ambiguous legal status of children born on airplanes a matter of as significant public controversy as transgender athletes since each affects roughly the same number of people

Wikipedia: Birth aboard aircraft and ships

articles: Birthright citizenship in the United States of America and United States nationality law
U.S. law holds that natural persons born on foreign ships docked at U.S. ports or born within the limit of U.S. territorial waters are U.S. citizens. An important exception to this rule is children born to people who (in line with the 14th Amendment) are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, e.g. foreign diplomats accredited with the United State
Department of State or invading foreign
enemy forces. 6! Despite a common misconception to the contrary, birth on board a U.S.-flagged ship, airliner, or military vessel outside of the 12-nautical-mile (22 km;
14 mi) limit is not considered to be a birth on U.S. territory, and the principle of jus soli thus does not apply.
In addition to the question of a child's citizenship, there is also a question of how to report "Place of Birth" for children born in transit. US State Department guidance instructs that a child born in international waters should have their place of birth listed as "AT SEA", while those born in the territorial waters of any country would list the name of that country.!! A child born in flight over a region where no country claims sovereignty (eg. international waters or Antarctica) would list their place of birth as "IN THE AIR"

A world where practically all life is managed by human intervention is a much more realistic hypothesis than one where humanity ceases to exist. You hear a hell of a lot more about the latter than the former. Why? Because we're actually doing the first one, and it's harder to wrap our heads around.

I talk about this a lot in "Lost Worlds" - the world didn't begin with people alive today, and it won't end with people today. Apocalypticism is a wonderful way of making it so you don't have to think about the real long-term consequences of your actions. If it's all going to end, why think further?

Seriously though. If a Senator accuses a sworn witness of perjury for saying he wasn’t at a particular game in Atlanta, and then it turns out he wasn’t at that game in Atlanta but actually in Maryland (700 miles away), then I suggest there should be a penalty beyond general mocking and derision.

One of the main reasons that the student loan crisis disproportionately affects women is because victims who can’t complete their educations still have the debt from it—even if they never get the degrees that unlock careers that can pay that debt back.

Nearly 40% of survivors who report to their schools are pushed out in one way or another—usually, at the urging of school staff who want them to leave. (In comparison, less than 1% of perpetrators are suspended or expelled.)

There's a very famous sketch about an Alexa controlled elevator in Scotland and the vocal contortions folks need to use to get it to work. AI is forcing conformity on more than just the accents though. Structure and syntax must fit its parameters. It forces homogenization.

The data also strongly suggests that campus rape is perpetrated by a small number of actors. Put differently, most men on campus don't rape, but the ones who do rape a lot of women. Getting rid of those guys would make campus way safer . psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-...

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
