Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

An essay—Montaigne’s invention of trying to think something all the way through—is not a form of punishment or a consequence that must be faced for harming another person, and using it as such further evidences the erosion of intellectual life. The Cornell sexual assault case is

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

The fact that universities and schools do not have a universal ban on them demonstrates these institutions of “learning” are vacuous. Anyone continuing to tolerate LLMs is a total *tool.*

There is not one “benefit” of LLMs that offsets their damage to education (and their environmental impacts, their stealing of human produced writing and art, students pressured to default to them in every instance, etc.).
