Sounds as though today's events are the direct and logical consequence of failing to heed the advice he offered a decade ago. How is that "unhinged?"

In my 22 years as a Harvard professor, I have not been afraid to bite the hand that feeds me. My 2014 essay “The Trouble With Harvard” called for a transparent, meritocratic admissions policy to replace the current “eye-of-newt-wing-of-bat mysticism” which “conceals unknown mischief.” My 2023 “five-point plan to save Harvard from itself” urged the university to commit itself to free speech, institutional neutrality, nonviolence, viewpoint diversity and disempowering D.E.I. Last fall, on the anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, I explained “how I wish Harvard taught students to talk about Israel,” calling on the university to teach our students to grapple with moral and historical complexity. Two years ago I co-founded the Council on Academic Freedom at Harvard, which has since regularly challenged university policies and pressed for changes.

So I’m hardly an apologist for my employer when I say that the invective now being aimed at Harvard has become unhinged.

"As a child, I roamed the candlelit corridors of Hogwarts, rode through the snowy woods of Narnia, and stood in the shadow of Mount Doom. I was a bookish kid with an outsized inner life and a quiet ache for something I couldn’t name; in these enchanted worlds, I found a sense of belonging.

"As I grew up, I didn’t leave fantasy behind. But when I read some of the most lauded contemporary offerings, like Phillips Pullman’s His Dark Materials or Lev Grossman’s The Magicians trilogy, I was conflicted. I loved the books. They were gripping and brilliantly written… but when I turned the last page, I was left with a strange, hollow feeling. Beneath their cleverness, there lingered an an atmosphere that seemed to mock the sense of wonder that had once made fantasy feel like home.

"Many of the most celebrated contemporary fantasy books – the ones often winning industry awards – felt different from the stories I loved as a child. These newer stories only felt like fantasy on the surface. The quests remained, but identity replaced destiny and irony stood where sincerity once ruled. Hidden beneath the dazzling prose, the worldview being offered to the reader was not one of transcendence, but of nihilism."

A Century of Damning Evidence

If, at this point, you’re still vaccinating yourself or your children, you deserve the predictably suboptimal outcomes you are actively injecting into your life: •Since at least 1933, the medical community has known that vaccines cause infant deaths. To conceal this, those deaths were renamed “crib death” and then “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS), eventually […]

TIL McDonald’s spent six months engineering “bubble-gum-flavored broccoli” to trick kids into eating vegetables—but dropped the idea after test-panel children were so confused they stopped eating altogether.

TIL about Fat Club, men's organizations that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century . The 1st rule of Fat Club was, you had to be at least 200 pounds to join.

Brutal. But quite possibly true.

Here's the hard truth:

Your student is using the future of tech to perform and is probably learning more useful future skills by getting better at AI prompts than anything you're teaching.

"The Arab Spring used short, sharp shocks to trigger protests and overthrow uncooperative leaders. America’s Professional-Managerial Class used those techniques to weaken and finally overthrow a sitting President. But they continued to use them after they had achieved their goal. They used tactics intended for a sprint in an eight-year marathon, and even the fastest sprinter gets tuckered out after a while. They showed themselves capable of engineering chaos, but they proved incompetent when it came to creating order. They sought leadership, but were incapable of fielding competent leaders."

A Tragic Trust

Smart Boys who love science and trust modern medicine will literally die before they will question their assumptions of who is credible and who is not, as we’re witnessing in real-time with Scott Adams: Scott’s story is tragic. He has been repeatedly betrayed by Modern Medicine. Let me explain. Scott took COVID-19 Vaccines. He trusted […]

Via Anonymous Conservative this morning.

"Someone linked to a movie about targeting, called “The Spark.” I looked into the guy who made it, and it turned out he was a cofounder of Lionsgate. He met the love of his life. They had children, and then just as he was about to make it big, his partner turned out to be Cabal, his wife was some kind of MK Ultra sex-slave being used as a hooker, she took off with the kids, he was cut out of Lionsgate, and he was surrounded by surveillance. Here is his testimony, and I believe every word, based on what I have seen. If you are a creative, you need to be careful of the “Cofounder.” Surveillance will see you are prone to creation, and embed around you a best friend, capable of helping you succeed in your creation. Although not a “burned spy” he is still there just to help. He will often have the perfect suite of connections and abilities to help your endeavor soar, and he will look to become a “cofounder.” I think these guys are ground surveillance, who know if they can embed around a creator, the machine will help them to seize the creation, and they are just there to relieve you of your creation at some point."

"Then there's Father James Altman. Originally censured for an inflammatory sermon that received wide support among more traditional Catholics, he blew away all his social capital by going off the rails and making totally unhinged criticisms of Pope Francis, going so far as to say “The best thing we could do, would be to tie the great millstone around Jorge Bergoglio's neck and throw him into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.” Now I had countless issues with Francis, but you expect better from a Priest.

"These sorts of aggressive online barroom brawler antics are utterly incapable of doing what’s most important now, building new institutions. No one is going to trust a guy who posts his wild antics for internet clout for the same reason you don’t have the town brawler teach martial arts classes. Even if they’re right, even if they’re good at what they do, you can’t trust them to not blow themselves up and everyone else being hit with the shrapnel."

"Martin Luther’s earlier vicious rhetoric helped to create the environment for a mass peasant revolt, a revolt he had to condemn in “Against the Murdering, Thieving Hordes of Peasants” (awesome noscript, too). It wasn’t until he buckled down later and wrote The Large Catechism and did the grueling work of building the foundations of his religion that he had anything that would stand the test of time. The “Instructions for the Visitors of Parish Pastors in Electoral Saxony” might be a lot less edgy and fun to write about than “The Jews and Their Lies,” but his theology survived, while his inflamed screeds are only remembered for their humorous quips. He was always a crude guy but tempered it when necessity."

Start creating your own privacy-focused, small online communities. Avoid relying on mainstream platforms—they are the primary targets in the ongoing efforts to centralize control over information. These platforms are increasingly designed to monitor, influence, and ultimately own the flow of communication. A slow, deliberate process is already underway to restrict and regulate how information is shared. Take action now to build independent spaces where privacy and freedom of expression can truly be protected.

In the age of AI-driven surveillance and digital control, the internet is no longer a neutral ground. Powerful algorithms monitor, predict, and influence human behavior—tracking every word, click, and thought. What once served as tools for convenience have evolved into mechanisms of control, enforcing algorithmic conformity and silencing dissent through invisible filters and automated moderation.

Today, a handful of big tech corporations hold the keys to the global information gateways. They control what you see, hear, and share, shaping reality itself.

With the looming requirement of digital identity for internet access, a new form of digital tyranny threatens to emerge. To resist, people must organize into small, decentralized groups by forming off-grid, peer-to-peer networks.

Technologies like LoRaWAN and Meshtastic offer powerful solutions: fully off-grid communication networks using repeaters and antennas that can cover many kilometers without relying on traditional internet infrastructure.

By building these independent, resilient networks, we reclaim control over communication and privacy—creating a foundation for true digital freedom in an increasingly surveilled world.
