KEEP READING

Images

In Plato’s Phaedrus, Socrates tells the story of Theuth. He's the Egyptian figure credited with inventing writing. Theuth offers it as a gift, a powerful tool that will aid in memory and make people wiser. But King Thamus isn't persuaded. Writing, he says, will not deepen wisdom at all. It will weaken memory by moving knowledge outside the mind, and it will leave people with the appearance of understanding rather than the real thing. Writing didn't destroy thought. It became one of its great vessels of expression.

GLOBAL IDIOT

There are plenty of old words and phrases you can use for people who have no common sense without offending anyone.

We’re living in a noisy world. Group texts, cell phones, constant updates, and somehow, even with all the words swarming around us every day, it can feel empty.

NEVER RETIRE

As we age every minute of every single day, we should never fade away. The greater good has no expiration date. Positive intent and deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths

NEED vs WANT

Images

We need interdisciplinary education because complex global challenges like climate change or pandemics require multifaceted solutions, not siloed expertise; it equips students with critical thinking, adaptability, and innovative problem-solving skills by connecting diverse fields, fostering creativity, and preparing them for evolving, interconnected careers and informed citizenship in our rapidly changing world.

PRAY FOR US

The Suspect in the Brown University Mass Shooting Reportedly Took His Own Life, After Being Tracked to a Storage Unit in New Hampshire. Thoughts and prayers are with the Brown University family and the entire community. Having taught students at a dozen colleges and universities worldwide, I understand how frightening moments like this can be and how deeply devastating campus violence is for everyone affected. What should be the close of a semester, a time of relief, reflection, and anticipation of being with family and friends, has instead been overshadowed by fear and uncertainty. This loss of normalcy is itself a profound harm for everyone on earth who wishes for peace, joy, and goodwill towards all.

AFD UP

For over the past hundred years the AAUP’s Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure has provided the intellectual framework and oversight mechanisms that define academic freedom in the United States. Its combination of policy leadership, investigative rigor, and moral authority makes it a foundational institution in American higher education. As pressures on universities continue to mount, the committee’s work remains vital to upholding the principles on which academic life depends.

A TRIPLE CROWN

A triple crown of American service belongs to those who have been an educator, a writer-journalist, and a military veteran. Very few people earn all these respected titles. Those who do are living proof of the values that make this nation the greatest on earth. St. Johns County Governance Building's Veterans Office Corridor, where Elena B. Odio’s photograph will be displayed for one year.

US POLITICAL CRISIS

Most of our national leaders were lost, but their GPS indicates that decency and a good conscience are just around the corner. Trump lost control of the Republican Party. Our representatives voted almost unanimously. The House vote was 427 to 1. US Senators approved it without a fight, after Trump had spent months fighting the process. When it became clear he would lose, he told the GOP to vote yes and not lose face insisting he has nothing to hide?
