One possible way to interpret global fertility trends is that we are being assorted by contraception into two species, one that is extremely careless and one that is extremely obsessed with children

"You can't cut off Harvard's access to foreign students because they subsidize the American ones" No, they subsidize a bloated administration led by Postdoc Duvalier, whose job it is to foment race war and end the careers of genuine academics if they threaten the BLM Narrative

A fun sentence from this paper. 82% (!) of Indian and Chinese Silicon Valley engineers report exchanging technical info with their home countries. This is why immigration from these countries erodes US tech leads. ~0 immigration from either is experts in areas where we're behind.

For obscure reasons, colleges are allowed to inspect their clients’ family finances before offering them a price. Having infinite ultra-rich foreigners gives unis bargaining power to charge middle-class Americans more. If limited to 5% foreign enrollment, tuitions would drop

Part of my personal radicalisation was hearing from French teachers I knew (by no means rightwingers) how average Maghrebi students reacted after Charlie Hebdo + Bataclan. Not pretty.

When you see stuff like this crying about America not funding scientific research, go to the list of cancelled NSFs (excluding Harvard) & pull up a couple at random. They’re ALL race quota conferences, research projects, or outreach projects entirely limited by race and gender.

I didn't realize this whole time that the thing they call "X Pro" was actually just Tweetdeck. If they had just called it Tweetdeck then I would have been using it ages ago!

The same way you used to be able to "adopt" Haitian orphans and pay for their food and medicine, Harvard students should should all get to adopt administrators so they know where their $87,000/year tuition is going. One student could adopt Claudine Gay's January salary, another

That's not really true at all. That's Leo Strauss's cute attempt to fit Hobbes into the class-based historiography of the early 20th century

It's hard to get a sense of how the Holy Roman Empire really worked on a day-to-day basis, but it feels like it might have been an anthill of petty fiefdoms doing messed up things constrained in large part by their occasional fear of attracting the ire of the Emperor

Fundamentally the reason the US acts like this is because of the presumption since WWII that the US will be “picking up the tab”. US diplomats should stop playing on tutorial mode
