Seems a little naive to believe engineers don’t make arguments from authority all the dang time…

If you are concerned about spiraling costs and the siloing of wealth in this country, let me suggest you look elsewhere. Students and educators ain’t it.

Education is also important — along with the administration of that education — so when people judge things they can do so from a standpoint of understanding and not from the standpoint of reactionary politics and uninformed gut takes. (Edu

Suddenly everyone's an expert in Higher Education Administration, that thing they just learned about ten minutes ago.

Might I suggest that if it’s a problem maybe it’s a good thing to have people study it more deeply?

What Musk needs to do is fund smart people to do interesting stuff and then get out of the way. If that's what this is, great. If it's just another opportunity for him to do something high-profile and half-baked to massage his wei

Yup. We already have a variety of institutions and organizations designed for intellectual collaboration, debate, and decision-making. Twitter isn’t one of them. Never has been.

Also, the idea that Twitter (or any individual social network) is somehow The Public Town Square is flawed from the start. Such a thing doesn’t exist. There are online communities of varying sizes that have different sets of rules that thei

You have to “control speech” to be able to have a community that doesn’t devolve into toxicity. All healthy communities do it, either implicitly or explicitly. Including Hacker News, which actually has a really good community as a result! H

You’re right! Just like Disney+ did when I watched Star Wars the other day. I’m excited to know Disney has consented to me posting Star Wars in its entirety free online.
