Frankenstein. Both because it's one of my favourite books and because it'll keep people on the edge of their seats as they try to figure out whether I picked it because I understand it or whether I picked it because I DON'T understand it
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I'm definitely less sympathetic to the post that kicked this all off (I think the frustration is fair but is wrongly directed at the university) but this is just obviously true. Knowing Origen and Rousseau did very little to restrain Imperial bureaucrats in the Raj or British North America
there is not any particularly strong evidence that study of the humanities make people good people. the elites of many brutal empires were extremely well-read!

"I don't understand why humanistic education is important or necessary" - guy with Alcibiades in his username.

That is why you need it. Perhaps if you had approached with a more open mind, you might have gained more by it.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

Screenshot because I'm not looking for a fight but I think my problem with this is it presumes the ratchet goes one way and that these institutions never had these sort of people in the first place. I don't doubt that it's worse now under Trump II but I'm not nearly so convinced that electoral

What this might be, and it's hard to tell from this remove, is a sign of revitalization for the non-conservative churches, including the ones that aren't boldy affirming prog churches but are a more quiet sort of liberal church for normies.

This is desperately needed.

happy Sunday, pals! in the liturgy of my childhood, we celebrated this day by lighting a candle for hope--a reminder in tenuous flame that we're not passive dreamers. we wait on a better world by preparing for it, by doing whatever good we can now.
I might offer some handmade ornaments to folks who donate to the National Immigrant Justice Center--if that sounds good to you, stay tuned! :)
make a donation of any amount supporting the National Immigrant Justice Center, then email your shipping details to kaitlinruizplease (at) gmail. and that's it! now you too can take the Mind of Berg wherever you go.

if you are old enough to attend a university, you are old enough to be held accountable - by your peers, your instructors, and future employers - for your poor character. i would not hire this person in the future for any position upon a cursory google search, and no one else should, either

and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

The whole entitlement to piracy thing always rubbed me the wrong way. I know it's an expression of frustration against exploitative corps, but it also enables exactly this behavior. If you don't want to pay for it, just move on. Don't pretend you're doing society a service by stealing it.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

I think it’s fine for Mamdani to have met with Trump and it’s funny that Trump has gaga eyes over Mamdani and also everybody who is going to the mat about Mamdani being based over this *and also* insisted that congressional Dems are cucks for not suicide bombing the Oval should, uh, reflect on that.

The month the Cybertruck was released I immediately saw two of them in my part of the city, always driven by the same two guys. I was shocked. "People are actually buying this thing!"

Almost two years later, I have never seen a third.
