Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-46728578208756451472024-03-17T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-17T10:10:00.242-07:00A Sense of Doubt blog post #3316 - New X-Men Comics - 2024 - Comic Book Sunday for 2403.17<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAzckM1pz8aQNpFrlZ42UHb1rq10s-LUqPWg7770ptNq65Wu6TspuM5FCH6bd_rMV1yd27hcyGTykYMM7uiftQmq7T6_Qdir_Poo6dvJMnuGaVhKqwvEWdMaKoHSL3_47v0q13VlAvLgInhFwWBHDt6GOiRUiPL_RGkMYxLzxZwyN5H1BSpmTuUJ8S6TN/s1338/X-Men%20New%202024.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="1338" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAzckM1pz8aQNpFrlZ42UHb1rq10s-LUqPWg7770ptNq65Wu6TspuM5FCH6bd_rMV1yd27hcyGTykYMM7uiftQmq7T6_Qdir_Poo6dvJMnuGaVhKqwvEWdMaKoHSL3_47v0q13VlAvLgInhFwWBHDt6GOiRUiPL_RGkMYxLzxZwyN5H1BSpmTuUJ8S6TN/w640-h308/X-Men%20New%202024.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3316 - New X-Men Comics - 2024 - Comic Book Sunday for 2403.17</span></u></b><br /><br />One more day of final grading.<div><br /></div><div>So this share because I have many Comic Book Sunday posts that are not done.</div><div><br /></div><div>A few thoughts. I really liked the Krakoa storyline. But I must admit that my interest in X-Men has waned severely. The last three issues of the main title are in the back log. Maybe this new set of books will rekindle my interest.<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in.<br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE: </b>I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

I always try to strike a chord between appealing to veteran comics fans and new readers, but since so many people fell in love with the X-Men as teens and this book is about a team of young folks, that feels especially important to me here. I hope that for some 13- or 14-year-old readers, this might be the first comic book they pick up. Working on this series has been a ton of fun already, as Carmen Carnero’s art is bringing so much dynamism to these pages and the entire X-team of writers is in a flurry sharing scripts and feedback and ideas.”</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 26px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Marvel Comics VP Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained the new approach and what fans can expect:</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 26px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-left: 40px;">“The X-Men are fractured in the aftermath of the end of Krakoa, scattered across the globe without a central base of operation.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-55603327515449371412024-03-16T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-16T19:51:52.260-07:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3315 - Baseball is Proving the Power of Immigrants<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn56tIplqQo-1V1GbgP9GPNeOQe_kabvdDlQjvxTyZXccJ38yVnvqRT9-hXnKvpsXVik63KamAN-h4zoCX_q8DiqyEQR0V7IrSUzJYL7XZQo_lDSeXjciQubefRVEUuUncUPjQvBIE2evomtRRZlf_bt4N7DsRl5RvN9JxxMhj97NysNhyKw6xDxWtes1v/s772/Miggy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="517" data-original-width="772" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn56tIplqQo-1V1GbgP9GPNeOQe_kabvdDlQjvxTyZXccJ38yVnvqRT9-hXnKvpsXVik63KamAN-h4zoCX_q8DiqyEQR0V7IrSUzJYL7XZQo_lDSeXjciQubefRVEUuUncUPjQvBIE2evomtRRZlf_bt4N7DsRl5RvN9JxxMhj97NysNhyKw6xDxWtes1v/w640-h428/Miggy.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3315 - Baseball is Proving the Power of Immigrants</span></u></b><br /><br />Another Baseball post as I gear up for the start of the season.

If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially.

New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-15052391786410938252024-03-14T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-14T20:16:12.036-07:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3313 - Shocking New Biblical Text - Facts about Jesus Christ<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*JSCIraaZQXT2QiQaCtw6Fw.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="800" height="461" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*JSCIraaZQXT2QiQaCtw6Fw.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: sohne, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">collage: </span><a class="af ou" href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/amedmonastery.00279383096-ms/?sp=9&st=image&r=-0.233%2C-0.006%2C1.335%2C0.86%2C0" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: sohne, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank">1950 Libary of Congres microfilm of MS 1807</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: sohne, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">; </span><a class="af ou" href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/265015423142" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: sohne, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank">An Apostle Mosaic</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: sohne, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> (Sotheby’s)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></b><div><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3313 - Shocking New Biblical Text - Facts about Jesus Christ</span></u></b><br /><br /><br />As I wrote yesterday of my blog being my study and not my instruction, here's a great share I saved as I am fascinated by the origins of the Bible and what has been included and what has not. I link two articles at the bottom that I will share soon with longer commentary. However, for now, final grading, so I am busy. Just this share.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a great article. Very pivotal!<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE:</b> I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://medium.com/belover/a-shocking-biblical-text-with-new-facts-about-jesus-surfaces-and-christianity-doesn-t-know-what-32579e2cf1d3">https://medium.com/belover/a-shocking-biblical-text-with-new-facts-about-jesus-surfaces-and-christianity-doesn-t-know-what-32579e2cf1d3</a><br /><br /><br /><div style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0;

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-28951577437932111672024-03-13T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-14T20:05:34.030-07:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3312 - AI Extinction Level THREAT and Slashdot Round-Up<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXtPVwu5DMKgmNh9xSgMZ_1SBSq5hjUamIaGLXYHBjBe2sbh7J8fs9BtXMeInNhXjcf_HO1DyPuJpaLWqiC_iKBuopRvHO6GF7Qe9k_LzOHAQNLtTTcLqNPefPEo_4tUlByWx7nHVNSuS2BZIf0cPwvCHhvQwZRI4KX0Q8XMhnuKAqBMu6sDrikyFhrnU/s1250/AI%20extinction%20level%20threat.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

"The rise of advanced AI and AGI [artificial general intelligence] has the potential to destabilize global security in ways reminiscent of the introduction of nuclear weapons." AGI is a hypothetical technology that could perform most tasks at or above the level of a human. Such systems do not currently exist, but the leading AI labs are working toward them and many expect AGI to arrive within the next five years or less.<br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The three authors of the report worked on it for more than a year, speaking with more than 200 government employees, experts, and workers at frontier AI companies -- like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and Meta -- as part of their research. Accounts from some of those conversations paint a disturbing picture, suggesting that many AI safety workers inside cutting-edge labs are concerned about perverse incentives driving decisionmaking by the executives who control their companies. The finished document, titled "An Action Plan to Increase the Safety and Security of Advanced AI," recommends a set of sweeping and unprecedented policy actions that, if enacted, would radically disrupt the AI industry. Congress should make it illegal, the report recommends, to train AI models using more than a certain level of computing power.<br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The threshold, the report recommends, should be set by a new federal AI agency, although the report suggests, as an example, that the agency could set it just above the levels of computing power used to train current cutting-edge models like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini. The new AI agency should require AI companies on the "frontier" of the industry to obtain government permission to train and deploy new models above a certain lower threshold, the report adds. Authorities should also "urgently" consider outlawing the publication of the "weights," or inner workings, of powerful AI models, for example under open-source licenses, with violations possibly punishable by jail time, the report says. And the government should further tighten controls on the manufacture and export of AI chips, and channel federal funding toward "alignment" research that seeks to make advanced AI safer, it recommends.</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>slashdot sum - TUESDAY MARCH 12th</u></b></div><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://slashdot.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Daab6529d3675bd877963a652d%26id%3D150812b7aa%26e%3D8359e06840&source=gmail&ust=1710557822391000&usg=AOvVaw1cfaPk_G-mszeIQjAQYOCX" href="https://slashdot.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aab6529d3675bd877963a652d&id=150812b7aa&e=8359e06840" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0;

If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-70494540927346572582024-03-12T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-13T19:37:34.642-07:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3311 - OSCARS 2024: Jimmy Kimmel Told Not to Read the Trump Tweet<a href="https://ew.com/thmb/J5_nsZbf4e10-nV2frexy0Jg1LI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump-031124-1-124dcf846b15496280fbda8d109fc8a5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially.

One was a "song about drugs or alcohol." After dismissing the obvious choices, this song popped into my head. I really think that this song has some kind of addiction at its root. I could be wrong. The "Voodoo" in the blood is the drug.

As a kid I was obsessed with (lead actress) Isabelle Adjani, and would watch absolutely anything with her in it. I must have discovered the film when I was about 12, and it absolutely blew my mind. That particular scene in the film is insane. It’s so riveting yet so disturbing at the same time, it’s so original and different and… strange. It’s still to this day a film I’ll implore anyone I see to go and watch it. I can’t believe the irony of the fact that the director died last week. It seems appropriate in a strange way that it’s come out when it has, as a celebration of what he did as a filmmaker.

In a funny way it is sort of like possession.

Until recently you might have thought of her in a period movie or something like that, but then she did <em style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;">Gone Girl </em>and you’re like, ‘Holy shit, she’s really capable of some dark stuff.’ So I thought if Rosamund really went for it, and went as balls-out mental as she would need to, she could be a really interesting, really surprising choice. She rehearsed for a couple of days with this great movement coach called Scarlet Mackmin who works with the National Theatre, she wanted to be really prepared for the part. When she came on set and we did the first full run-through it blew all the crew away. You hope it’s gonna be like that, but when you actually see it it’s kind of electrifying to watch. For an actress you’ve got to be brave, because you’re doing things that are gonna make you look ugly or weird in certain moments, and if you’re not committed it ends up not looking great. But she really nailed it – we built foam tile walls she could slam into, but she was still pretty bruised and exhausted by the end. It was disturbing and scary and sexy all at the same time. You felt like you were seeing something you shouldn’t really be seeing. </p><h3 data-innertext="70s colour schemes" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: UniversNextPro-BoldExt, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box;">70s COLOUR SCHEMES<br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;" /></span></h3><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: UniversNextPro-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 24px;">We chose the Joe Strummer underpass at Edgware Road station to shoot in because I love the yellows, pinks and oranges down there, it’s almost like a sweet box.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-20232891692019411972024-03-10T10:10:00.000-07:002024-03-10T18:14:47.753-07:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3309 - New Zatanna Comic - Tamaki and Rodriguez<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvluEmAuNb3sWHDm0vUZn7nZIsUrqNOpeJBbAwGnpXNkukMGlAhRBUoGSnzP7KdKo9HEKqTOwGAFdBV8RQcNul1EVtBeRMLAWHkuvSn7qOopz6mFnMdbYosvB8lAYgajdGNFo_RN_7_AwmTN8XB5mnWVJIumGESQVIUbO7wQWpivHHVN4ljT8Tg9bARIwN/s1200/Zatanna_BDTH.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="1200" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvluEmAuNb3sWHDm0vUZn7nZIsUrqNOpeJBbAwGnpXNkukMGlAhRBUoGSnzP7KdKo9HEKqTOwGAFdBV8RQcNul1EVtBeRMLAWHkuvSn7qOopz6mFnMdbYosvB8lAYgajdGNFo_RN_7_AwmTN8XB5mnWVJIumGESQVIUbO7wQWpivHHVN4ljT8Tg9bARIwN/w640-h346/Zatanna_BDTH.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></b><div><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3309 - New Zatanna Comic - Tamaki and Rodriguez</span></u></b><br /><br />Still in the fishnets...</div><div><br /></div><div>Looking forward to this one.</div><div><br /></div><div>Love both Tamaki and Rodriguez!</div><div><br /></div><div>This post is a quick share because NONE of the other posts in which I am working are ready yet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Still, happy COMIC BOOK SUNDAY for March 10th, 2024.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for tuning in.<br /><br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE: </b>I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-75625737129678556372024-03-09T10:10:00.000-08:002024-03-09T20:03:43.132-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3308 - The Three-Body Problem - NETFLIX - March 21<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin5Cz_ISZNOMpqWzjYmKGAlhTwjX08Kw0sxwB1zmhpZuL7rYWRCnXt0my1Jvbm-hLWJ7szCgP6qKUe1bpElfsmevD3TAHbRLeJl1mTqgTFkJGJmXNvcgg176pmqgleQLCX-s-g_aoYOIn7HjgqfclL1V9px3epLDEBiHN76sByp_eMpdf3rClYiFa4M8Cs/s807/3%20Body%20Problem%20promo.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="807" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin5Cz_ISZNOMpqWzjYmKGAlhTwjX08Kw0sxwB1zmhpZuL7rYWRCnXt0my1Jvbm-hLWJ7szCgP6qKUe1bpElfsmevD3TAHbRLeJl1mTqgTFkJGJmXNvcgg176pmqgleQLCX-s-g_aoYOIn7HjgqfclL1V9px3epLDEBiHN76sByp_eMpdf3rClYiFa4M8Cs/w640-h348/3%20Body%20Problem%20promo.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />A Sense of Doubt blog post #3308 - The Three-Body Problem - NETFLIX - March 21</span></u></b><br /><br />Very excited for this show!<div><br /></div><div>Loved the book when I read it last year.<br /><br />I have the second one but have not delved into it yet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for tuning in.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE:</b> I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-2600322387373810232024-03-08T10:10:00.000-08:002024-03-09T19:48:50.160-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3307 - Drop in College IQ Scores<a href="https://bigthink.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/iq3.jpg?resize=640,360" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="360" src="https://bigthink.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/iq3.jpg?resize=640,360" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3307 - Drop in College IQ Scores</span></u></b><br /><br />Just a share today.<br /><br />Not much commentary.<div><br /></div><div>Though it's true that college students are no longer extraordinary but are merely average.<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in.<br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE: </b>I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.<br /><a href="https://bigthink.com/thinking/iq-score-average-college-students/"><br />https://bigthink.com/thinking/iq-score-average-college-students/</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span><span class="absolute uppercase font-emphasis-eyebrow " style="--tw-blur: var(--tw-empty,/*!*/ /*!*/);

In 1980, the inflation-adjusted price to attend a four-year college full-time was $10,231 annually, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Thirty years later, the price increased to $28,775. Long gone are the days when universities were vaunted places of learning for inquiring minds.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-35943727129525658632024-03-06T10:10:00.000-08:002024-03-06T18:52:53.057-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3305 - Why do Some Republicans Love Putin?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCb6eSIQAEagDc2sqVJ_6CF0joQWPgL-PvW-WSW_8mkW1znGuIVz_s53U8e-adQFnfMDrUbP0wiQO7JTPzDeMzmNE24LilePc4YeYSARbWiaHt3HMRgNuqwzziT_xy5RqxKmQq-Y_NHnvWs15lhrW_kxEl0BTesoOD6MbI5wMcsFmgYnUlwRGGKP0pVm9p/s1024/Punish%20putin%20not%20ukraine-protest.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCb6eSIQAEagDc2sqVJ_6CF0joQWPgL-PvW-WSW_8mkW1znGuIVz_s53U8e-adQFnfMDrUbP0wiQO7JTPzDeMzmNE24LilePc4YeYSARbWiaHt3HMRgNuqwzziT_xy5RqxKmQq-Y_NHnvWs15lhrW_kxEl0BTesoOD6MbI5wMcsFmgYnUlwRGGKP0pVm9p/w640-h426/Punish%20putin%20not%20ukraine-protest.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />A Sense of Doubt blog post #3305 - Why do Some Republicans Love Putin?</span></u></b><br /><br />Republicans continue to redefine how abominable and vile people can be as well as embarrassing our country around the world.<br /><br />Thanks a lot.<br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE:</b> I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimCTZTMb-efG3Gvcri48xoc7MANKVKg4W0ZoB_EYtkWpcMmwP7TydIZK4c-ZqmLJPDvlbtSxMjguXQPhLr-chiCZEHrnk3kHLAPxMIGxOkS0-rAx35GkExaRY5tRLt3ERkHqb-YWrlqSC1GWS1ucmqjkEr6xpDO8FJo6vcM2WLA2feZK_Ajt5upZtg-P1q/s355/putin%20matroshka.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

They see the world dividing between a liberal left and an illiberal right, with both themselves and Putin — along with Viktor Orban of Hungary and some other world leaders — in the second category.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;">Whatever the explanation, the situation threatens decades of bipartisan consensus about U.S. national security.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;">Already, House Republicans have blocked further aid to Ukraine — a democracy and U.S. ally that Putin invaded.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-56266541518149956202024-03-05T10:10:00.000-08:002024-03-06T18:47:55.834-08:00A Sense of Doubt blog post #3304 - Hillsdale College - The Christian Liberal-Arts School at the Heart of the Culture Wars<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_lWSd26ZGvE5I-hdrnWi-N4G463yDd9LuFOMKu95KM7QPB7kOpRNAWkf6tQHQwvX8bufSJJHqmcCRSvzZp3rmYc_xKwSLHVld_lnUCYx-uX3WF6dl_mOVuYRxjDH2xECUX-FfEGSCRxWEtF5EkhX-MQ9qX05bkecNAaDj3x-_crSLRHKr3d1e79fNmCi/s921/Hillsdale%20College.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="921" data-original-width="717" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_lWSd26ZGvE5I-hdrnWi-N4G463yDd9LuFOMKu95KM7QPB7kOpRNAWkf6tQHQwvX8bufSJJHqmcCRSvzZp3rmYc_xKwSLHVld_lnUCYx-uX3WF6dl_mOVuYRxjDH2xECUX-FfEGSCRxWEtF5EkhX-MQ9qX05bkecNAaDj3x-_crSLRHKr3d1e79fNmCi/w498-h640/Hillsdale%20College.JPG" width="498" /></a><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3304 - Hillsdale College - The Christian Liberal-Arts School at the Heart of the Culture Wars</span></u></b><br /><br />This may be the last of my saved articles from <i>The New Yorker</i> before I ended my subscription.<br /><br />Sadly, from my home state of Michigan...<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE:</b> I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

defined by what they’re against. At a recent public briefing, the governor of
Florida, Ron DeSantis, decried the imposition of critical race theory and mandatory
diversity-and-inclusion training at the state’s schools. He pledged to counter
“ideological conformity” and “administrative bloat.” On the other hand, when
DeSantis and other Republican politicians try to articulate what they’re
for—what exactly they want education to look like—one name comes up repeatedly:
Hillsdale College. DeSantis has said that he probably wouldn’t hire someone
from his alma mater, Yale. But “if I get somebody from Hillsdale,” he said, “I
know they have the foundations necessary to be able to be helpful in pursuing
conservative policies.” In January, DeSantis’s chief of staff told <em style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">National Review</em> that the governor hoped to

Michigan with roughly sixteen hundred students, was founded by abolitionist,
Free Will Baptist preachers in 1844. Today, the college is known as a home for
smart young conservatives who wish to engage seriously with the liberal arts.
The Hillsdale education has several hallmarks: a devotion to the Western canon,
an emphasis on primary sources over academic theory, and a focus on equipping
students to be able, virtuous citizens. There is no department of women’s and
gender studies, no concentrations on race and ethnicity. It’s a model of
education that some scholars consider dangerously incomplete. It’s also a model
that communities across the country are looking to adopt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

vastly expanded its influence, partly through its ties to Republican politics.
The college has had a presence in Washington, D.C., for fifty years, and in
2010 it opened a second campus there, largely for graduate students, in a row
of town houses across from the Heritage Foundation. The faculty includes
Michael Anton, the former Trump Administration official known for his essay
“The Flight 93 Election,” in which he wrote that voting for Donald Trump was
the only way to save America from doom, and David Azerrad, a former Heritage
Foundation director who has described America as being run on a system of
“Black privilege.” In recent years, speakers at Hillsdale events have included
Justices Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett, then a circuit-court judge.
Thomas, whose wife, Virginia, once served on the Hillsdale Board of Trustees,
has referred to the college as “a shining city on a hill.” Alumni have gone on
to serve in powerful government positions: Kevin McCarthy’s former deputy chief
of staff, three Supreme Court clerks from the last term, and speechwriters for
the Trump Administration all attended Hillsdale.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to prominence is the college’s president, Larry Arnn. “Education is the purpose
of society,” he told me. “If you want to help, as a citizen, your country, I
think that’s the way.” Last November, Arnn gave a speech in which he described
education as a cultural battleground, arguing that public schools have recently
“adopted the purpose of supplanting the family and controlling parents.” To
address this concern, Hillsdale has ventured outside of higher education,
helping to launch K-12 charter schools nationwide. Arnn has set an ambitious
mission for this project, one that suggests Hillsdale is only getting started
in its fight to reclaim American education: “We’re going to try to find a way
to teach anyone who wants us to help them learn.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Civil War soldier carrying a flag with a broken staff. More than four hundred
Hillsdale students fought on behalf of the Union, which the school says is the
most of any private college in the North—a fact that I would be reminded of

school’s athletic centers. Professors streamed past me in full regalia, looking
like brightly colored fish amid the schools of new students. A string quartet
played at the front of the room. (Hillsdale is not an a-cappella kind of place,
though a third of the students study music, often classical.) A curly-haired
senior kicked off the ceremony. “We’re always one graduating class away from
losing the student culture here,” she said from the lectern. “Hold yourself to
a higher standard, because it’s what you need. It’s what Hillsdale needs. It’s
what our country needs. It’s what God demands.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Arnn, who is
seventy, wore blue robes with a pin-striped suit and black tennis shoes that
looked vaguely orthopedic. He spoke to the crowd about the virtues of pursuing
truth. “There are things to know,” he explained. “They are beautiful things to
know that will make you better if you know them.” As he wrapped up his
comments, he noted that Winston Churchill was a “blubberer,” and that no one
should be ashamed of getting emotional as they said goodbye.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

2000, while the school was emerging from national scandal. For twenty-eight years, the
college had been led by George Roche III, a prominent libertarian. His
daughter-in-law, Lissa Roche, who worked at the school, came to occupy a role
akin to First Lady of Hillsdale. She was also, evidently, in love with her
father-in-law. One day, she claimed that they had long been romantically
involved. (He denied the affair.) Shortly afterward, she took a revolver out of
her husband’s gun cabinet and went to the school’s arboretum, where she killed
herself. “It was traumatic,” David Whalen, an English professor and a former
provost, told me. “There’s no soft-pedalling it.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">George
Roche resigned, and a committee scrambled to find his replacement. Arnn—a
friend of one of the committee members, the conservative firebrand
William F. Buckley, Jr.—was at the top of the shortlist. At the time, Arnn
was the head of the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank in
California. (“If you’re looking for a conservative person who’s got an
education and can talk a bit, the field is small,” he told me.) He got the job.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Harry Jaffa, a combative scholar of the political philosopher Leo Strauss.
After helping found Claremont, Arnn played a major role in the passage of
Proposition 209, which effectively ended affirmative action in college
admissions in California. Arnn has deep ties to the G.O.P. establishment—he
told me that he got “close-ish” to taking a job as the head of the Heritage
Foundation—but he’s never been a creature of Washington. He has preferred to
cultivate his influence from afar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

education about America’s “inspiring” founding. He picked Arnn to chair the
group, which included Mike Pompeo and Ben Carson as ex-officio members. A few
years before that, Arnn had published a book, “The Founders’ Key,” claiming
that the progressive movement had weakened the power of America’s founding
documents. It landed blurbs from Republican politicians such as Paul Ryan, Mike
Lee, and Tom Cotton, whose wedding Arnn says he attended. “We’re from
Arkansas,” Arnn said of Cotton. “We’re cousins.” (Not in the real way, Arnn
clarified, but in “the Arkansas way.” )<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="background: white; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">The word “conservative” doesn’t feature prominently in
Hillsdale’s promotional materials; the school simply describes itself as a
“small, Christian, classical liberal arts college.” When I asked Arnn and other
professors whether Hillsdale is conservative, they all gave the same, slightly
uncoöperative answer: yes, in the sense that Hillsdale is “conserving things.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ones I spoke with said that this manifests in different ways. Will McIntosh,
who grew up in Iowa as the son of a Baptist preacher, enthusiastically briefed
me on the virtues of the Austrian school of economics, one of Hillsdale’s
specialties. (Ludwig von Mises, a major figure in that movement, donated his
library to Hillsdale.) Colton Duncan, a devout Catholic from Ohio, rejects
libertarianism, saying that he and his friends frequently discuss how to
cultivate a moral economic system as an alternative to “woke capitalism and
neocolonialism.” The ardently pro-Trump contingent on campus appears to be
small, both among students and staff. Paul Rahe, a history professor, said he
doubted that a majority of the faculty voted for Trump in 2016. (Arnn endorsed
Trump after the Republican primary that year, joining a group of conservative
intellectuals who wrote that he was the candidate “most likely to restore the
promise of America.”) These days, the campus seems to favor DeSantis over
Trump, according to a recent survey by the student newspaper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

campus, that there is relatively little appetite for partisanship. Politics
just “wasn’t in the mouths of my peers or the administration,” Tori Hope
Petersen, a 2018 graduate, told me. Arnn steers students away from partisan
acrimony. “There’s rumors going around that I’m not fully satisfied with the
condition of the government of the United States,” he said, to approving
laughter and applause, at a parents’ dinner after the convocation. “I want you
to know, we are going to discourage your child from being much involved in all
that.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Arnn to remain in some scholarly circles. “Even prior to the Trump
Administration, he had given a lot of people in the academic world real pause,”
George Thomas, a professor at Claremont McKenna College and the director of the
school’s Salvatori Center, of which Arnn was a longtime adviser, told me.
“Flirtation with the disreputable right, flirtation with serious racism,
hysterical about progressives who disagree with you being threats to the
constitutional order.” Thomas happily let Arnn’s term on the advisory board
expire.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

version of the same theory about the divergence between Hillsdale’s internal
and external identities. The college refuses any government funding, including
federal aid to students, to avoid being subject to federal regulations such as
Title IX, which forbids sex-based discrimination in higher education. But to
attract people to a small liberal-arts college in Michigan—and to pay for their
cloistered learning—Hillsdale needs to be a household name. So, like Benjamin
Franklin lifting his kite and key in the lightning storm, Arnn harnesses the
power of the culture wars for his own purposes. “Some alums cringe when
Hillsdale is advertised on Fox News or Sean Hannity,” Brittany Baldwin, a 2012
graduate who worked as a speechwriter in the Trump White House, told me. “They
feel like it’s underselling what Hillsdale really is. But Dr. Arnn is very
smart, in the sense that he has found a way to reach millions of people who
otherwise would have never known about the school, by focussing on the values
that it has in common with many conservatives, who happen to be able to give
the school money.” When I asked Arnn if this assessment was correct, he
replied, “I’ve said almost exactly that to Rush Limbaugh!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

offering a trove of free online courses, in which more than three million
people have enrolled. “Probably the most common question that I have asked of
me by students and friends of the college is ‘What happened to my
country?’ ” Kevin Slack, who teaches politics, says, in a course titled
The American Left: From Liberalism to Despotism. Across roughly six hours of
video lectures, Slack gives an overview of leftist movements since the First
World War, explaining the influence of figures such as Antonio Gramsci and John
Rawls. Diversity-and-inclusion officers are part of a “priesthood that goes
sniffing through private lives to look for original sins of racism or
genderism,” Slack says. Progressive whites are “racial saviors” whose “greatest
hostility and hatred is reserved for middle-class whites, who they seek to
eradicate or enslave.” Slack concludes the course with advice to conservatives.
“Stop apologizing for everything,” he says. “Understand that the tyranny you
saw in 2020,” including </span><em style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16pt; line-height: inherit; text-transform: lowercase;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: small-caps; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal;">covid-19</span></em><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;"> lockdowns and Black Lives Matter

concentric circles: undergraduate and graduate education at the center, the
school’s online courses as the next ring, and its events and speakers as
another. I understood how this works after talking with Will and Monica
Trainor, a couple from Texas who have sent four of their children to Hillsdale.
The Trainors discovered the school through <em style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Imprimis</em>, and, when their eldest son was applying to
college, they visited the campus and fell in love. Now Monica uses the school’s
online Constitution course in her children’s homeschool curriculum, and she
keeps a stack of Hillsdale promotional flyers on hand, occasionally giving them
out to high-school seniors and parents in her community. “We spent eighteen
years instilling our values in our son,” Will explained. “We’ve seen too many
of our friends lose kids that have gone in with certain family values and have
come out not with those same values.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

powerful set of Hillsdale allies: small-city-gentry types, who have often made
modest fortunes in obscure industries, and who have been persuaded to dedicate
some of their life’s earnings to the school despite not having attended. One
example is S. Prestley Blake, the co-founder of the Friendly’s
ice-cream-and-restaurant chain. In 2014, in honor of his hundredth birthday,
Blake built a replica of Monticello on his Connecticut estate, which he gave to
Hillsdale; the college turned it into the Blake Center for Faith and Freedom. Charles
Hoogland, a founder of the now defunct rental chain Family Video, and his wife,
Kathleen, funded Hillsdale’s Hoogland Center for Teacher Excellence. A few days
after the freshman convocation, the school hosted an event called Ladies for
Liberty, where female attendees paid a thousand dollars for four days of
firearms instruction and lectures on the Constitution. The event was, in part,
held at Hillsdale’s shooting range, which, thanks to donor largesse, has become
sophisticated enough to serve as an official training center for the U.S.
Olympic shooting team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

“You get money by showing them what you do.” Between 2000, when he took over,
and 2021, the latest year for which financial data is available, annual
contributions to Hillsdale increased more than sevenfold, putting the school’s
fund-raising on par with that of élite liberal-arts colleges outside of the Ivy
League. At an event last winter, DeSantis told Arnn, “The fact that you’re able
to raise money from people who didn’t necessarily go here or have kids here
shows you that people do value excellence. They value the truth.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

come to Hillsdale’s campus: weight lifting. Last summer, the college installed
exercise equipment in the dorms, in an effort to reduce stress and depression.
(“There’s been an explosion in student counselling since I’ve been here at the
college,” Arnn told parents. “I’ve never liked it.”) The lifting trend started
with Carl Young, a classics professor, whose faculty friends—mostly classicists
and philosophers, “all ninety-pound weaklings,” in Arnn’s words—began joining
Young at the gym. (Arnn has tagged along a few times.) One professor has joked
that there should be a philosophy-and-weight-lifting club called Will to Power.
I asked Young whether there’s an ideological motivation behind the
workouts—pushback against a culture where, say, men are weak and masculinity is
diminished. He looked at me blankly. “I don’t know about that,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

serves as Hillsdale’s head student ambassador, gave me a campus tour. We swung
by the student union, the Grewcock Center, named for a Nebraska family who made
their fortune in mining and construction. (The center tops Arnn’s list of
buildings to renovate; he finds it so ugly that he has nicknamed it Arnn’s
Shame.) We ambled down the Liberty Walk, where statues of history’s great
heroes line the college’s well-manicured lawns: Ronald Reagan leans jauntily
against a column, Margaret Thatcher sits insouciantly among the trees. Donors
can sponsor a brick on the walk for a thousand dollars. (“Sadly, reports show
that increasing numbers of schools are indoctrinating students with a false and
dishonest narrative of our nation’s history, presenting America as essentially
and irredeemably flawed,” Hillsdale’s Web site reads. “Your Liberty Walk brick
shows that you’re on the battlefield of education, promoting the knowledge and
understanding necessary to preserve liberty.”)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

several alumni told me that the school has played up its religious identity in
recent years, perhaps as a way of enticing donors. (Arnn denied this, noting
that the school’s Christian roots are clear in its founding documents, although
he acknowledged that Hillsdale used to be “shy” about its religiosity.) The
college isn’t a Christian school in the vein of Liberty University, which the
Baptist pastor Jerry Falwell, Sr., founded to train “champions for Christ.” But
Arnn believes that a liberal-arts education requires students to grapple with
questions about the nature of God. A perennial debate among students on campus
is Protestantism versus Catholicism. Students tend to go on winding theological
journeys, often gravitating toward more liturgically formal expressions of
Christianity, such as Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. “You see a lot more
appreciation for tradition,” Michael Hoggatt, a junior from Wisconsin who grew
up evangelical, said. “Lower-church students tend not to have that sort of
catechesis.” When I met him, he was attending an Anglican parish, and now he’s
in the process of converting to Catholicism. On Instagram, an unofficial
Hillsdale meme account recently made a joke about new students: “catholic by
fall. ring by spring.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the school’s moral commitments. One states that “morally responsible sexual
acts” occur “in marriage and between the sexes.” The guidelines stress that
students are admitted “regardless of their personal beliefs,” though the school
discourages “ideological pressures or actions that press the College to abandon
its commitments or disrupt its good order.” So although there are L.G.B.T.Q.
students on campus, it is almost impossible for them to form clubs, and some
have found it hard to speak openly about their identities. One alumnus told me
that he was called into the dean’s office after he was seen placing his head in
his boyfriend’s lap on the campus lawn. Mary Blendermann, a Hillsdale graduate
who recently came out as gender fluid, described being socially ostracized as a
sophomore after she cut her hair short and started dressing in a more masculine
way. “People I used to sit with in the dining hall didn’t really want to sit with
me anymore,” she said. Kailey Andrew, another graduate, told me she had
received a short handwritten list of professors who were thought to support
L.G.B.T.Q. students—people who were safe to talk to, behind closed doors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to notice the whiteness of the student body and the faculty. Every professor I
met was a white man, except Khalil Habib, a politics professor, who is Lebanese
Catholic. Hillsdale pointedly refuses to compile statistics on its students’
racial backgrounds. Shortly before Arnn was hired, officials from the Michigan
Department of Education visited the campus to determine whether the student
body was sufficiently diverse. Years later, Arnn, testifying before a
subcommittee of the Michigan state legislature, said that the officials had
been looking for “dark ones,” a phrase that he later apologized for using—kind
of. “No offense was intended by the use of that term except to the offending
bureaucrats, and Dr. Arnn is sorry if such offense was honestly taken,” the
school wrote in a statement. “But the greater concern, he believes, is the
state-endorsed racism the story illustrates.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is a detriment to the school. “If it is—and I’m not confident that it is—it’s
not as important as having people here who want to be here,” he replied. He
sees Hillsdale’s involvement with K-12 charter schools as an answer to the
long-standing problem of educational inequalities. “Start early,” he said.
“Give everybody a chance. That’s nearly all of what I want to do.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

his tenure, to bring students from inner-city Detroit to Hillsdale College.
“It’s on my list of dumb things I’ve done from which I’ve learned,” he said.
“They weren’t ready to come here. They hadn’t done any preparation. They
thought it was a magical place—fancy.” He paused for a moment. “It’s fancier
now!” Later, the college created the Frederick Douglass Scholarship, to support
first-generation college students, along with those from low-income households
or economically disadvantaged school districts. “Why should we favor a rich
Black kid over a poor white kid?” Arnn said. “I don’t want to tell a student
here that that’s the significant thing about them,” he said, referring to race.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">Some students appreciate this approach. Amy Buffini, a
Black transfer student, told me that at her previous school, Point Loma
Nazarene University, everyone was hyperaware of race and afraid of “saying the
wrong thing.” She’s more at ease at Hillsdale. But Arnn’s tendency to downplay
race has also been controversial within the Hillsdale community. In the summer
of 2020, after George Floyd’s death, a few hundred alumni signed an open letter
calling for the college to make a statement in support of the idea that Black
lives matter. One alumna, the journalist Liz Essley Whyte, argued that proud
moments in Hillsdale’s history—such as when its football team refused to play
in the 1955 Tangerine Bowl because its Black players were not allowed to
participate—had been used to obscure instances in which the college had
published or hosted racists and segregationists, such as the white supremacist
Jared Taylor. Another alumnus, Will Smiley, an assistant professor at the
University of New Hampshire, wrote a letter suggesting that Hillsdale overly
catered to its conservative allies: “Perhaps the donors who once offered the
college independence from the government now impose a straitjacket of their
own.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">Arnn told me that the college didn’t make the
statement that the alumni wanted because the events of that summer were
“unfolding contemporary politics.” He went on, “How do you even know what you
think about them? George Floyd was not a particularly good fella. That matters,
right? And he was killed, and that matters—a lot. We’re not geared up around
here to respond to the news.” Besides, Arnn added, “we don’t much like it when
things are demanded of us.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="has-dropcap" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt; margin-top: 24pt; padding-bottom: 1rem;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">The atmosphere on
Hillsdale’s campus might feel familiar to some visitors, particularly those who
attended small liberal-arts schools decades ago. As Rahe, the history
professor, put it, Hillsdale is like “Williams College, 1955, with girls.”
Bradley Birzer, another history professor, said that Hillsdale is among a group
of “weirdo colleges,” including St. John’s, the University of Dallas, and the
liberal-studies program at Notre Dame, that still believe in teaching a canon
of great books.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">When Arnn arrived, he established requirements in
theology and philosophy, along with a semester-long Constitution course. The
Political Science Department was renamed the Politics Department, on the notion
that political study should be normative and philosophical instead of
mechanical and data-driven. It was an explicit rebuke to the wonkish approach favored
by many academics. Adam Carrington, a politics professor, told me, “You won’t
see much in the way of quantitative methods—regression lines, things like
that.” Meanwhile, students studying biology, chemistry, and physics learn about
the human aspects of the scientific process, debating such topics as the role
of prizes in incentivizing certain kinds of research. Hillsdale kids tend to be
studious and eager. Habib, the politics professor, recalled that, during his
first semester of teaching, a student corrected a word in the translation of
Aristotle that the class was using.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">According to Whalen, the former provost, Arnn
carefully selects faculty members who support the school’s mission of educating
students in the Western philosophical tradition. “He’s very clear about
everybody pointing in the same direction,” Whalen said. The college doesn’t
pretend to have faculty representing every school of thought; it doesn’t keep a
Marxist around just for the heck of it. Besides, “a course in Nietzsche would
probably be more controversial than Marx,” Birzer, the history professor, told
me, with a chuckle. “Nietzsche is sort of the bête noire within the philosophy
department, and somewhat within history, too. He’s the guy we love to hate at
the college.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">I sat in on a Western Heritage class—one of the jewels
of Hillsdale’s core curriculum—taught by Birzer. None of the students had
laptops out, and I didn’t see a single cell phone. The words “Occident” and
“Orient” were scribbled on a blackboard. Birzer’s students were learning about
Plato’s Crito. Birzer explained that Socrates argues that unjust actions are
always unjust, regardless of the circumstances. “Our modern thinkers tend to be
very, very subjective,” he said. “Socrates is the exact opposite: he says there
is capital-‘T’ truth, and our life is to pursue what that truth is, even when
it leads to our own harm or death.” He pointed out the similarity between
Socrates’ insight and that of another great figure of the West. “Socrates got
there about four hundred and fifty years earlier than Jesus did,” Birzer said.
“I’m not comparing the two—don’t get me wrong. Obviously, Jesus is fully man
and fully God.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Reader,” a collection of primary sources compiled by Hillsdale professors.
Other classes use an American-heritage reader, which is dominated by white
voices. The selected texts from the period following the Civil War include
sources making the case for the Old South and the New South, but they don’t
deal directly with the reign of racial terror carried out during and after
Reconstruction and into the twentieth century. At best, this is a problem
inherent to the study of famous primary texts: those powerful enough to write
history rarely focus on the stories of people at its margins.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">Birzer recognized that “no reader is perfect”; in
courses where Reconstruction is taught, students are also assigned a textbook
by a Hillsdale professor to get more context on the hardships former slaves
faced during that period. When I visited, he and another Hillsdale professor
were in the process of recording lectures that students at other universities
will be able to take for credit, significantly expanding Hillsdale’s
educational footprint. In the lectures, “we’re going to confront the race issue
as openly and directly as we can,” Birzer told me. “We’re not going to
whitewash it at all. We’re going to talk about what happened in Tulsa. We’re
going to talk about race riots.” He was aware that many of the people likely to
watch the videos will be conservative and affluent—and might not know much
about the history of racial discrimination and violence in America. “A lot of
conservatives kind of dropped the ball on how to deal with that issue,” he
said. In his view, however, too much of the contemporary conversation about
race traffics in self-flagellation and apology. “We don’t want to sit there and
be these manly guys on World War II and then turn around and get sappy on
race,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

school is Justin Jackson, who teaches English. (“He looks like Rasputin,” Arnn
said. “And I think he’s kind of a liberal.”) Jackson told me that when he first
considered a job at Hillsdale, in the early two-thousands, he was circumspect:
“When you read the Web page, you think, Oh, do you read Homer through a Reagan
lens?” He worried about censorship. “You’re told all the time: conservatives
are going to crush your academic freedom.” But that hasn’t been his experience;
he said that the horror stories he hears about crackdowns on academic freedom
tend to come from his friends at more progressive institutions. (In recent
years, Arnn has made himself a Lady Liberty to the pre-cancelled; he described
a professor who started last fall as “a refugee from wokeness.”)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="background: white; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">At more progressive schools, students have an instinct
to read texts “to show that there’s empire or colonialism or racism,” Michael
Roth, a liberal-arts scholar and the president of Wesleyan University, said.
“To me, that’s like shooting fish in a barrel. All you’re learning about is
your own superiority.” But, he added, “I do think it’s a mistake to imagine
that the Western tradition necessarily leads to the discovery of truth with a
capital ‘T.’ You can only do that if you ignore a lot of the world.” Reading
storied texts to justify your views as an American or a Christian or an
inheritor of the classical tradition—“that also is a way of justifying your own
parochialism,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

encourage their students to adopt a particular world view. He wants students to
inhabit the literary worlds of the authors he teaches. “I try to teach a
hermeneutics of charity,” he said. “When we read texts, we aren’t in an
ideological fight with it.” Hillsdale, he believes, is “deeply humanistic.” The
texts are for everyone, equally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hillsdale has exported its educational philosophy to K-12 schools across the
United States, as part of a larger movement to restore “classical education”—a
liberal-arts curriculum designed to cultivate wisdom and teach children to
pursue the ancient ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness. Hillsdale has
approved eighty schools to use the K-12 curriculum created by the college’s
professors. Schools that want more intensive help can send their teachers to a
summer training session on Hillsdale’s campus and consult with college staff.
Nearly all of these resources are free.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

education. In 2021, the school released the first iteration of its 1776
Curriculum, centered on the nation’s founding and history. Grade-school
students are given a list of great figures, such as George Washington, Crispus
Attucks, and Patrick Henry. Middle schoolers consider a draft of the
Declaration of Independence, to see what was added and removed by Congress.
High-school students are asked to read speeches and debates by Abraham Lincoln
and Stephen Douglas, along with a speech by Alexander Stephens, the
Vice-President of the Confederacy. The curriculum refers teachers of all grade
levels to Hillsdale College’s relevant online courses, and to books such as
“Land of Hope,” by the historian Wilfred McClay, which was written to counter
what McClay describes as the “radical,” “one-sided” narratives of texts that
are commonly used in classrooms today, such as Howard Zinn’s “A People’s
History of the United States.” (Arnn recently hired McClay.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

educators to use independently, but the results have been uneven. In South
Dakota, an emeritus politics professor at Hillsdale, William Morrisey,
facilitated a committee that used the college’s materials to revise the state’s
social-studies standards. They were criticized by the American Historical
Association as “excessively long and detailed in their prescriptions, yet
totally inadequate in their vision of what history learning entails,” omitting
“any and all forms of historical inquiry in favor of rote memorization.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

slavery, racism, nativism, and oppression. But these passages have a certain
inflection. Elementary-school teachers are instructed to explain, for instance,
that “America is and always has been a land of immigrants,” including those
“considered the indigenous or ‘native’ peoples of both North and South
America,” who “likely migrated from northeast Asia.” John Brown’s raid on the
armory at Harpers Ferry was evidence of a “breakdown in civil dialogue.” In the
middle-school and high-school material, racism is described as “the voluntary
acts of individual people.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

people’s minds, with Trump’s 1776 Commission, given their similar names, shared
aims, and mutual connection to Larry Arnn. And conservative politicians have
eagerly latched on to the school’s work. DeSantis has noted that “classical
academies are flourishing in the state of Florida. We hope to have many more.”
(The state currently has at least nine Hillsdale-affiliated schools.) Kari
Lake, a Republican who ran for governor in Arizona in 2022, said on the stump,
“I believe in the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

announced a plan to launch Hillsdale-affiliated charter schools across the
state, calling Hillsdale “the standard-bearer in quality curriculum and the
responsibility of preserving American liberty.” A few months later, Hillsdale
hosted a reception in Williamson County, a wealthy area south of Nashville. At
the event, Arnn described the sorry state of American schools. “The
administrators you hire are all diversity people,” he said. “And that helps
you, by the way, with your federal requirements—that you have a certain number
by color.” Later, in a conversation with Lee, Arnn proclaimed that “teachers

“hidden-camera video” of the event and ran at least two dozen follow-up
segments on Hillsdale, speculating about its ideological motivations. A Johnson
City pastor wrote an op-ed in his local paper accusing Hillsdale of promoting
Christian nationalism. (When I asked Arnn about this, he said that Christianity
is premised on the freedom of religious faith, which is separate from the laws
of the land. “That means there’s no such thing as Christian nationalism,” he
said. “Couldn’t be.”) A local teachers’ union sent out mailers with Arnn’s face
Photoshopped onto the body of a man wearing a straw boater and a red-and-white
striped suit jacket, holding a clear bottle labelled “charter snake oil.” Arnn
attempted to clarify in an op-ed in the <em style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Tennessean.</em> “Dumb can mean ‘unintelligent,’
which I did not mean,” he wrote. “Dumb also means ‘ill-conceived’ or

already opened in Tennessee, but it announced that it was parting ways with the
college. A charter-management organization attempted to open three others that
would have used Hillsdale’s curriculum, but the applications failed; it later
withdrew from an appeals process. (The organization is trying again for the
fall of 2024.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

assistant provost for K-12 education, insisted that the project is “not
narrowly political or partisan.” When it comes to American history, “we should
study the things that are embarrassing to us, and the things that are
shameful,” she said. “But we shouldn’t forget that there are also moments to be
proud of.” As for Arnn, he does not regret what he said about teachers. He
believes that teachers should be “symbols of wisdom” who are experts in their
subject matter, not just in the skills of teaching, which he thinks education
schools overemphasize. “I think it deprives teachers of something and students
of something,” he said. “We’re trying to program them.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paywall" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">The whole episode illustrates the way in which Hillsdale’s
politics—and Arnn’s uncensored style—have complicated the school’s attempt to
foster a broad revival of liberal-arts education. Even other players in the
classical-school movement have hesitations about Hillsdale. Robert Jackson, the
executive director of the Great Hearts Institute, a network for
classical-school leaders, told me that Hillsdale envisions “a more distinct
political identity” for its schools than other classical schools do—and there
are hundreds of others, religious and secular, private and public. While he
respects people who work at Hillsdale, the school’s high-profile role in the
movement “potentially positions classical education as a partisan project,”
Jackson said. “We do not want to throw students into a kind of partisan affair
as a result of their education.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="has-dropcap" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18pt; margin-top: 24pt; padding-bottom: 1rem;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16pt;">Another friend of Arnn’s,
neither cousin nor Arkansan, is the former Vice-President Mike Pence. They
spoke “a fair amount” while Pence was in the White House, Arnn said. I asked
him whether Pence had called him in the days leading up to January 6th, seeking
advice on certifying the election. Arnn paused. “I think it would be indiscreet
for me to answer that question,” he said. “Let me say that I thought, on that
day, the election had been over for a month.” He went on, “I think the election
was fishy, changing the laws in big ways on the eve of the election. But it’s
done now.” Arnn called the issue of the supposedly stolen election a prudential
question—one about which people of shared values might disagree, in good faith.
He has designed Hillsdale as a refuge from such subjects. And yet the very
purpose of a liberal-arts education is to develop the wisdom to see clearly in
upside-down days—to separate contemporary ferment from foundational truths when
it really matters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

its K-12 initiative: a graduate school of classical education that will train
the future leaders of the movement—headmasters, teachers, deans. The eleven
students in the graduate school’s inaugural cohort sat at a long table on their
first day of class. Nine were returning Hillsdale alumni. Whalen, the former
provost, was teaching a course called Humane Letters, focussed on texts that
“touch the hem of the garment of what is universally human.” The students listened
as Whalen read them poetry, about wintry fields and stately ships and beauty
for its own sake. A ceiling-high window gave a view of the trees. If you closed
your eyes, the classroom felt a bit like a cathedral.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

graduate school, which Arnn is hoping to expand next year. Along the Liberty
Walk, it will run from Reagan to Thatcher. ♦<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-67637443111457243432024-03-03T10:10:00.002-08:002024-03-05T07:41:01.960-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3302 - "No, Thank You" - Wonder Woman's new catch phrase - Comic Book Sunday for 2403.03<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0POcuxjALb-yaE6_Nq_KQxWGAphw1lZf81XoBiqb_KT7Qa1fIgQxDHY7YP6Ys0Oqi7Tb5bIbkA2UMK5OEme6VZ-ilOS-dtFfpgnRpdsMEA77XWaEB35_BweoEtmCZ7IkRp4xbSnDy4U3MeOrm-z-xg2Ah6OWZcsXaZtw2X4l_XlxgE1jiMGJ6RBy92uLG/s1426/Wonder%20Woman-%20No%20Thank%20You.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="1426" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0POcuxjALb-yaE6_Nq_KQxWGAphw1lZf81XoBiqb_KT7Qa1fIgQxDHY7YP6Ys0Oqi7Tb5bIbkA2UMK5OEme6VZ-ilOS-dtFfpgnRpdsMEA77XWaEB35_BweoEtmCZ7IkRp4xbSnDy4U3MeOrm-z-xg2Ah6OWZcsXaZtw2X4l_XlxgE1jiMGJ6RBy92uLG/w640-h320/Wonder%20Woman-%20No%20Thank%20You.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></b><div><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Sense of Doubt blog post #3302 - "No, Thank You" - Wonder Woman's new catch phrase - Comic Book Sunday for 2403.03</span></u></b><br /><br />Welcome to COMIC BOOK SUNDAY, published Tuesday March 5th because I am behind schedule.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have been loving this <i>Wonder Woman</i> comic.</div><div><br /></div><div>In fact, this issue is surely waiting for me at the comic book store.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div></div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-42082283060238227612024-03-02T10:10:00.001-08:002024-03-05T07:31:44.861-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3301 - Tainted Applesauce<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBkxgmW8tFvKIJBm8T4mkIa11gIJ5niiaOQpSZIDwKLy1fLKSrvLRcc09XDYSVyqK2QZbIOUgU7hk5LG3b2_QbxgmzDpsRGPxZ6blhWdKoXkQtPxxsjy3xnf-BaumxL-JDuuvSNsyi2ukRbwB5_pWhmEhgV0gw94H8HnptFkPJB75ql1KCNF0GijzloC9o/s507/Wana%20Bana%20Apple%20cinammon%20fruit%20puree.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="296" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBkxgmW8tFvKIJBm8T4mkIa11gIJ5niiaOQpSZIDwKLy1fLKSrvLRcc09XDYSVyqK2QZbIOUgU7hk5LG3b2_QbxgmzDpsRGPxZ6blhWdKoXkQtPxxsjy3xnf-BaumxL-JDuuvSNsyi2ukRbwB5_pWhmEhgV0gw94H8HnptFkPJB75ql1KCNF0GijzloC9o/w374-h640/Wana%20Bana%20Apple%20cinammon%20fruit%20puree.JPG" width="374" /></a><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />A Sense of Doubt blog post #3301 - Tainted Applesauce</span></u></b><br /><br />I eat applesauce every day, but it's unsweetened and without cinnamon.<br /><br />Still, this is a shocking story about a company's irresponsibility and putting children at risk.<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/27/world/europe/lead-applesauce-food-safety.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/27/world/europe/lead-applesauce-food-safety.html</a><br /><br /><br /><div class="css-1sojcmr ehdk2mb0" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><h1 class="css-1gnszfj e1h9rw200" data-testid="headline" id="link-2ac80b92" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px; color: #121212; font-family: nyt-cheltenham, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 2.75rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 3.0625rem; margin: 0px auto 0.6rem; max-width: 600px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-wrap: balance; vertical-align: baseline; width: 600px;">Lead-Tainted Applesauce Sailed Through Gaps in Food-Safety System</h1></div><p class="css-y47omd e1wiw3jv0" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #121212; font-family: nyt-cheltenham, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.4375rem; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.875rem; margin: 0px auto 35px; max-width: 600px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; width: 600px;">Hundreds of American children were poisoned last year.

I’ve written here before about the quality of “I-want-to-read-it-osity” that some books have, a hard to define but easy to see quality which I am going to refer to as “grabbyness.” There are books you can pick up and put down and happily pick up again, and then there are books that seem to glue themselves to your brain, that utterly absorb you. There are books that are great when you’re halfway through them but that take work to get into. Right now, the kind you can put down and the kind that are hard to get into don’t cut it, because they’re hard to focus on while fretting. For me, grabbyness is a quality entirely orthogonal to actual quality. There are grabby books that are only OK and great books that are not grabby. It also has nothing to do with how ostensibly exciting they are, nor how comforting they are. There are just books that are grabby and books that are not. What I’m talking about is the power to bring you right into the story so that all you want to do is read more, and you forget entirely about the real world around you.</div>

So here are some suggestions for books that grab you, for you to read in these difficult times. I’m trying to suggest a wide range of things, so that there might be some you haven’t read before—sometimes we want to re-read and comfort read, but sometimes we want new things that are sure to hold our attention.</div>

This is about an imaginary island off the coast of the US which reveres Nevin Nollop, the man who wrote the sentence “The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog,” and when letters start falling off the memorial, they decide to do without the letters. This book is very funny and very clever too. Thanks to Gretchen McCulloch for reading this aloud to me on Discord, which was a great feat of pronunciation!</div>

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-81815568781255661942024-02-28T10:10:00.001-08:002024-02-28T19:14:37.191-08:00 A Sense of Doubt blog post #3298 - Jeff Probst To Get Tougher at Tribal Council<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMtxxyThYAF1APzzFTdG5B-WaTEpNeKgpZO4BCNCb0UdbW7HtmW2EMAwS7pkFcfQabzvFHQG3gl9L3EnH59uG44KzBi7TKgt3gV3hlUQe0EXdPROdIedYPuNT_AWiYlCl8YZCmyBpBO9gPbZDmIX7kaPh7kTH8Z7WA7lhuwpzQAYDFF-wvK3kv1rGUspu/s747/Jeff%20Probst%20at%20Tribal%20Council.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="747" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMtxxyThYAF1APzzFTdG5B-WaTEpNeKgpZO4BCNCb0UdbW7HtmW2EMAwS7pkFcfQabzvFHQG3gl9L3EnH59uG44KzBi7TKgt3gV3hlUQe0EXdPROdIedYPuNT_AWiYlCl8YZCmyBpBO9gPbZDmIX7kaPh7kTH8Z7WA7lhuwpzQAYDFF-wvK3kv1rGUspu/w640-h424/Jeff%20Probst%20at%20Tribal%20Council.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />A Sense of Doubt blog post #3298 - Jeff Probst To Get Tougher at Tribal Council</span></u></b><br /><br /><i><b>Survivor</b></i> and <b><i>Harry Potter </i></b>saved my life.<div><br /></div><div>I am a life long fan.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is today's share.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for tuning in.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b>LOW POWER MODE:</b> I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE.

Talking to My Mother #966 - Sexy National Anthems and Women in Music Round up - Musical Monday for 1802.26</span></u></b><br /><br />Hi Mom,<br /><br />So last week when Fergie got eviscerated in the press and online for rendition of the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game for 2018, which is the first track here and in the You Tube playlist.<br /><br />I rather liked her performance, though not many people agree with me, even Fergie, who admitted it wasn't her best and what she was trying for didn't really come off well. I can see that, but I liked that tried something different. I support the different.<br /><br />And so, I was inspired to make a mix for once with all women artists, though an emphasis on Fergie -- four of the tracks are either Fergie solos or feature her with the Black Eyed Peas.<br /><br />I also wanted to feature woman of color, though not exclusively, so I went to some of my favorite artists, like Erykah Badu, MIA, Solange, and Daniela Andrade, but then as I built the list others came up as YouTube suggested them, such as Cat Power, which seemed to fit perfectly. Ayabambi, Nitty Scott, Macy Gray, and Sneaker Pimps were all suggested by YouTube and I am thankful for finding some new artists to follow.<br /><br />I have posted some of these tracks before, such as Yasmine Hamdan's "Balad" and Badu's "Afro Blue" but I feel they fit this group.<br /><br />I was also excited to find a new cut by Tracey Thorn as her new album debuts later this week. I also added new tracks by St. Vincent, Anne Marie, and the Kesha performance from the Grammy Awards to give this post some "kairos."<br /><br />Also, it stood out to me when Tracey Thorn sang about missing her mom, Mom. That seems to fit the theme of the blog, even though I am not writing about you so much anymore, though I am still writing TO YOU.<br /><br />I have been listenting to it a lot as I work, so I made the easy YOUTUBE playlist (link below), which does not require constant clicking as you would need to do to play from my blog.<br /><br />Funny side note. I didn't plan it, but I ended up grabbing the Phantogram that my wife plays a lot. I think she played this Cat Power track quite a bit back in October when it came out.<br /><br />Seemed right to end with Lorde, who will soon play a concert here in Portland.<br /><br />Time to post.<br /><br />Hope you like it.<br /><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">"i have nothing to control and I am controlling it."</span><br />- Sevdaliza<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaTfLN8TA5iw_EALSL9UFCz7Uspx3nUL-">Sexy Anthems and Women in Music PLAYLIST on YOU TUBE</a><br />by Chris Tower<br />for Monday February 26<br /><br /><iframe allow="autoplay;

The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291241039493003873.post-56315713337741431502024-02-25T10:10:00.000-08:002024-02-25T18:37:13.742-08:00A Sense of Doubt blog post #3295 - Favorite Comic Book Splash Pages - Comic Book Sunday for 2404.25<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHMAgzGyQ5igrADizYl5uiV66iJTqMeCD9t7vCHT42QTYQAuB2bV7UZhht42WjJO1GpWMkl82NEZtPFnI_ReFEY0dxQxSaIfE7wcy4k-3Ng4zEMevZJyAJLIEO7MY-6k68rcw_-Xcn66IzytdoyY_8q2D23NHNcvUmd15zXhzs_agfK0e2CLaZrLzV0GP/s557/Avengers%20Spalsh%20Triton%20Inhuman%20Adams.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="400" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHMAgzGyQ5igrADizYl5uiV66iJTqMeCD9t7vCHT42QTYQAuB2bV7UZhht42WjJO1GpWMkl82NEZtPFnI_ReFEY0dxQxSaIfE7wcy4k-3Ng4zEMevZJyAJLIEO7MY-6k68rcw_-Xcn66IzytdoyY_8q2D23NHNcvUmd15zXhzs_agfK0e2CLaZrLzV0GP/w460-h640/Avengers%20Spalsh%20Triton%20Inhuman%20Adams.jpg" width="460" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>A Sense of Doubt blog post #3295 - Favorite Comic Book Splash Pages - Comic Book Sunday for 2404.25</u></b></span><br /><br />Welcome to Comic Book Sunday for February 25th, 2024.<div><br /></div><div>Today is a post many weeks in the making of some of the greatest "splash" pages in the history of comic books.</div><div><br /></div><div>What I have here is many from a Twitter thread, then some of mine, then a top 20 from Ranker (with two repeats of ones I already shared), and then a bunch from the link below, Classic Comics dot org.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a few notes on the artists but not on all of them.

The Port of Savannah used to export cotton picked by enslaved laborers and brought from Alabama to Georgia on slave-built railways. Cotton is still a top product processed through this port.

<p>The fact that centuries-old relics of slavery still support the economy of the <a href="https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/8/16/20806069/slavery-economy-capitalism-violence-cotton-edward-baptist">United States</a> suggests that <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/anti.12704">reparations for slavery</a> would need to go beyond government payments to the ancestors of enslaved people to account for profit-generating, slave-built infrastructure. </p>
<p><a href="https://theconversation.com/from-40-acres-and-a-mule-to-lbj-to-the-2020-election-a-brief-history-of-slavery-reparation-promises-114547">Debates about compensating Black Americans for slavery</a> began soon after the Civil War, in the 1860s, with promises of “40 acres and a mule.” A national conversation about reparations has reignited in recent decades. The <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/06/reparations-definition-2020-candidates/590863/">definition of reparations varies</a>, but most advocates envision it as a two-part reckoning that acknowledges the role slavery played in building the country and directs resources to the <a href="https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/8/16/20806069/slavery-economy-capitalism-violence-cotton-edward-baptist">communities impacted by slavery</a>. </p>
<p>Through our <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=yi48Sl4AAAAJ&hl=en">geographic</a> and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=s4pLMm0AAAAJ&hl=en">urban planning</a> scholarship, we document the contemporary infrastructure created by enslaved Black workers. Our study of what we call the “landscape of race” shows how the globally <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/slavery-capitalism.html">dominant economy of the United States</a> traces directly back to slavery. </p>
<h2>Looking again at railroads</h2>
<p>While difficult to calculate, <a href="https://railroads.unl.edu/views/item/slavery_rr">scholars estimate</a> that much of the physical infrastructure built before 1860 in the American South was built with enslaved labor. </p>
<p>Railways were particularly critical infrastructure. According to “<a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781442262287/The-American-South-A-History-Volume-1-From-Settlement-to-Reconstruction-Fifth-Edition">The American South</a>,” an in-depth history of the region, railroads “offered solutions to the geographic barriers that segmented the South,” including swamps, mountains and rivers. For inland planters needing to get goods to port, trains were “the elemental precondition to better times.”</p>
<p>Our archival research on Montgomery, Alabama, shows that enslaved workers built and maintained the Montgomery Eufaula Railroad. This 81-mile-long railroad, begun in 1859, connected Montgomery to the Central Georgia Line, which served both Alabama’s fertile <a href="https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/money/business/2014/11/07/cotton-dominates-montgomerys-early-history/18634383/">cotton-growing region</a> – cotton picked by enslaved hands – and the textile mills of Georgia. </p>

<p>The Eufala Railroad also gave Alabama commercial access to the Port of Savannah. <a href="https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/atlantic-slave-trade-savannah">Savannah was a key cotton and rice</a> trading port, and slavery was integral to the growth of the city. </p>
<p>Today, Savannah’s deep-water port remains one <a href="https://gaports.com/press-releases/savannah-top-port-for-u-s-exports/">of the busiest container ports in the U.S.</a> Among its top exports: cotton. </p>
<p>The Eufala Railroad closed in the 1970s. But the company that funded its construction – Lehman Durr & Co., a prominent Southern cotton brokerage – existed well into the 20th century. </p>
<p>Examining court affidavits and city records located in the Montgomery city archive, we learned the Montgomery Eufaula Railroad Company received US$1.8 million in loans from Lehman Durr & Co. The main backers of Lehman Durr & Co. went on to found Lehman Brothers bank, one of Wall Street’s <a href="https://atlantablackstar.com/2013/08/26/17-major-companies-never-knew-benefited-slavery/">largest investment banks</a> until it collapsed in 2008, in the U.S. financial crisis. </p>

<p>Slave-built railroads also gave rise to Georgia’s largest city, Atlanta. In the 1830s, Atlanta was the <a href="https://www.atlantaga.gov/visitors/history#:%7E:text=Atlanta%20was%20founded%20in%201837,%2D%2D%20as%20in%20the%20railroad">terminus of a rail line that extended into the Midwest</a>. </p>
<p>Some of these same rail lines still drive Georgia’s economy. According to a <a href="https://www.georgia.org/sites/default/files/wp-uploads/2016/03/2013_Georgia_Logistics_Report-FULL.pdf">2013 state report</a>, railways that went through Georgia in 2012 carried over US$198 billion in agricultural products and raw materials needed for U.S. industry and manufacturing.</p>

<h2>Rethinking reparations</h2>
<p>Savannah, Atlanta and Montgomery all show how, far from being an artifact of history, as some <a href="https://www.hoover.org/research/case-against-reparations-slavery">critics of reparations suggest</a>, slavery has a tangible presence in the American economy. </p>
<p>And not just in the South. Wall Street, in <a href="https://www.nycurbanism.com/blog/2019/6/18/a-short-history-of-slavery-in-nyc">New York City</a>, is associated with the trading of stocks. But in the 18th century, enslaved people were <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49476247">bought and sold there</a>. Even after New York closed its slave markets, local businesses sold and shipped cotton grown in the slaveholding South.</p>

<p>Geographic research like ours could inform thinking on monetary reparations by helping to calculate the ongoing financial value of slavery. </p>
<p>Like scholarship drawing the connection between slavery and <a href="https://civilrightstrail.com/attraction/the-legacy-museum-from-enslavement-to-mass-incarceration/">modern mass incarceration</a>, however, our work also suggests that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/business/economy/reparations-slavery.html">direct payments to indviduals</a> cannot truly account for the modern legacy of slavery. It points toward a broader concept of reparations that reflects how slavery is built into the American landscape, still generating wealth.</p>
<p>Such reparations might include government investments in aspects of American life where Black people face disparities. </p>
<p>Last year the city council in Asheville, North Carolina, voted for “reparations in the form of community investment.” <a href="https://apnews.com/article/054c0c9061e168d4a685b71e9bb3aa95">Priorities could include</a> efforts to increase access to affordable housing and boost minority business ownership. Asheville will also explore strategies to close the racial gap in health care. </p>
<p>It is very difficult, perhaps impossible, to calculate the total contemporary economic impact of slavery. But we see recognizing that enslaved men, women and children built many of the <a href="https://notevenpast.org/slavery-and-freedom-in-savannah/">cities</a>, rail lines and ports that fuel the American economy as a necessary part of any such accounting.<!--Below is The Conversation's page counter tag.

I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.</div>Chris Towerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16032504937903592824noreply@blogger.com0
