In February 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order prohibiting federal funding for educational institutions that mandate Covid-19 vaccines for in-person attendance. Medical schools reliant on federal funds may reconsider these pointless mandates, paeans to outdated orthodoxy.
We should not forget that one of the greatest risks of AI technology may be a degradation of the learning process itself, and thus a new intellectual dark age. It is up to teachers to avert such a catastrophic outcome.

In a just society, all of them would be put on trial. If that ever happens, Zweig’s devastating, meticulously researched account would be all the prosecution would need to obtain a conviction. That’s the strongest endorsement I could possibly give.
