America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:
If your mind is loud — Write.
If your mind is empty — Read.
If your mind is racing — Walk.
If your mind is tired — Sleep.
If your mind is sharp — Build.

We received a direct response from Cornell President Martha Pollack today.
First is the query that was sent to her followed by her response. We will be responding back over the weekend. If anyone has specific remarks to her comments please do so and we will include them if they fit with our next correspondence.
President Pollack,
It is hard for me to understand how such COVID measures can continue when the survival rate for a significant majority of the public is greater than 99.95%. It is very …
DI you write back and ask if being so fucking stupid took effort or was she able to do it easily because she's bought?
You say 99.98% (for the average age of a Cornell student one assumes) and she talks about 99.5% without a) saying where she got it from or b) appearing to realise that it's 25 times greater.
The claim about a hospitalization rate of 2% leading to 720 hospitalisations might make sense IF all 36,000 people got infected at once but CLEARLY a) that's not going to happen and b) she doesn't seem to realise that that 'turn of events' is exactly what would need to happen to give her argument any weight. Is it bad faith? Does she know what she's saying and doesn't care OR is she just fucking stupid?
She's ended with the meaningless platitude about having a nice holiday break as if to beguile you into thinking she's a nice person and not someone whose just spend a few paragraphs either having not read your email carefully enough to understand it OR having read it carefully, ignoring your points entirely and using her response to talk absolute and likely-scripted utter fucking shit as an excuse to deprive you of your civil liberties.
That's not the hallmark of a nice person that's the hallmark of a shill.
That's great Jay. I might add that your "caustic" tone is perfectly appropriate given the dishonesty of these creeps.
We are crafting a response and will broadcast it to the larger Cornell community when complete. We plan to include a part of what you wrote.
Off the top of my head here are some other items that sprung to mind off of your remark:
"You say 99.98% (for the average age of a Cornell student one assumes) and she talks about 99.5% without:
A) Saying where she got it from or;
B) Appearing …
Allen, caustic was what I was going for. These people infuriate me with their bad faith arguments and dishonesty.
You present age-stratified data where the stratified nature is almost the entire point because you can then highlight the risk in the main demographic at Cornell; those aged 20-30yrs.
And what does she do? Immediately de-stratifies that data thus negating/hiding/obscuring that obvious point whilst still being able to claim she isn't lying.
Surely she, having reached her position, c…

Great article, Josh! There's some mind-blowing material in here!
But here comes the most disturbing part: Webb suggests that those orchestrating this grand takeover may not be human. Citing figures like George Soros, who once said, "You don't know what these beings can do!", the author suggests that there is something beyond the visible.
