An amazing essay. I now understand why Bill Ackman is so successful. He knew nothing about DEI or how it had rotted out academia until 10/7—I don’t blame him for that; he’s focused on creating value in the world—but once the scales fell from his eyes he took on this new challenge

The lesson the Harvard/Penn/MIT presidents seem to have taken away from their disastrous testimony is that they should crack down on more speech. No. You can protect free speech but also enforce rules against disrupting university programs, face masks, intimidation, etc.
