I happen to believe that everything that Niall Ferguson writes is brilliant, but his latest piece in @thefp is truly a <chef kiss> masterpiece. He sums up this election so perfectly in the excerpt below. But don't stop there. Jump to the linked post to read it in its entirety.

Hail the Founding Class of '28 at University of Austin's 1st convocation! It takes guts to be the pioneering students at a new university. Thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott for welcoming them to the Texas Capitol. And congratulations to my co-founders Joe Lonsdale, Bari Weiss & Pano Kanelos.
Three years ago University of Austin was an idea Niall Ferguson, Joe Lonsdale, Pano Kanelos and I discussed. Today in Austin it becomes a reality. Welcome to the class of 2028. The first class of UATX. You aren’t just students, you are founders.
Just three years ago, when the launch of the new University of Austin University of Austin was announced in The Free Press, skeptics said we were attempting the impossible. Yesterday, we welcomed the founding class. This is what President Pano Kanelos told them: thefp.com/p/a-revolution…
In an era of so much brokenness—and it’s hard to think of an area of American institutional life more degraded than higher education—sometimes the only thing to do is to begin again. The revolution has just begun at University of Austin: thefp.com/p/a-revolution…
