OPINIONS

Free Speech and the Academic Mission
Justifications for free speech hold true on University campuses as surely as they do elsewhere.
Which Drowns You Faster: the Gravity or the Flush? Part I
I am humbled and reminded of how much more structural inequality, or racism, or sexism, or poverty that I could have had to overcome.
Bring back Western Civ

Joy vs. Pleasure
The pursuit of joy, I would hypothesize, is what moves us.
Returning to Reality
