I keep thinking about the parallels between terror groups like Al-Queda, the Taliban, etc and the recent domestic insurrection.
Both start with people who feel they have been wronged. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it doesn't matter if it's devastating or a slight.
Don't believe the mainstream media! What do they know? They don't share your values!
We've reverse-outsourced terrorism.
"I am so upset that we've got so much trash that is supposedly representing us in Washington!"
"Never in my life did I think I'd like to see a dictator but if there's going to be one, I want it to be Trump!"
They are brainwashed so deeply, I have no idea if there is even hope left anymore.
How do you extract people from a cult?
How can we apply that on a massive scale?
But we have to figure out how to un-brainwash their followers, for they will come back if it's not done correctly.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
