Connecting Dots

 

Generational differences. Lack of viewpoint diversity in university faculties. The decline of Human Resources. The history of Christianity. The rise of Diversity Management. Bias in the law and medical schools. The new business model for journalism. Gated communities. Bowling alone. Industrial arts. Caring surpassing courage. Managerialism. Farming communities. Professional tribes. Careerism.  The rise of anti-heroes. Pareto. French politics. Declining attention spans. Remote work. Smartphone addictions. Hidden ideologies. Acceptable prejudices. Bureaucratic slants. Sleep. Trust. Israel. The decline of conversation. The war against boys. Unconventional religions. Chinese history. Pragmatism's limits. The Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Maginot Line. The psychology of prisoners of war. Reforming college. The shallowness of elites. Credentialism. The importance of truck driving. Artificial Intelligence. Elon Musk. Donald Trump. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Lee Kuan Yew. The trades. Particularism. Mission creep. Preserving freedom.

A partial list of where my thoughts are nowadays.

Bear with me.
