Well, it s ironic then that the author proposes to make policy based on lived experience.

Could you perhaps lack a bit of self-awareness?

I m talking about the atlantic article.

If you re looking at 40% of students having accomodations, with students going on the record saying they re gaming the system, and your reaction is: “how dare you question this”. You shouldnt touch the education of young people with a ten foot stick.

Iow: let s ignore the obvious, corrosive problem..

?? Is this a serious defence ??

That s a really strong argument

And isnt that really his point. I dislike wurman, but let s read charitably

But isnt it true that liberal democracy in the west has been the result of developments since roughly 1200 and which could not have happened without survival of greek and roman sources?

The highlighted passages do very little to redute their point though…?

Ouch

And then it s still absurd to say it s of the same order. Just the currency manipulation alone

But the scale is kind of important…

Nice to see solidarity amongst colleagues.

1. Energy costs is perhaps a bigger concern, but regulations in europe greatly increase energy costs, 2. The estimated savings only concern the actual saved administrative costs without counting further efficiency savings which are, of course, much more important.

Ah, see, i didnt have to wait very long for a perfect illustration of my exact point..

I dont disagree with your op, just think that it’s a bit rich to disregard the toxic rhetoric on the other side.

Yes and yes. It s also clear where, in polite society at least, the rhetorical escalation started.

It s not as if polite society on the other side of the spectrum wasnt and isnt utterly hysterical either

The point is: If moderate conservatives dont resist court packing, why would moderate dems resist stuff like this..
