"We don't choose outcomes, we choose rules, out of which generate patterns of outcomes."

Tyler Cowen with George Mason University has been known for reading large quantities of books, and on The Future of Liberty podcast even he admits that he is recalibrating in the AI era: "I've been reading more and more history as I get older, but I would say very recently I'm spending a lot of time reading and studying the outputs of large language models, so I've actually been reading fewer books in the last year."

"This is why we call it the liberal arts. It's like we learn to be free through this kind of process, through dealing with the great books, through inquiring about these things."

"Born teachers are extremely few. I think there are fewer than born poets."

Jacques Barzun doesn't stop at the shortage. He lays out what it actually takes to make good teachers out of people who aren't naturally gifted for it: paying them well enough to attract serious minds, training them in the practical craft of teaching, and grounding them in a real liberal arts education rather than the "pseudo-specialist" version he says most universities now offer instead.

“It used to be if government did something unlawful, suppressing your speech or otherwise, you could find some refuge in other corners of American society.” Philip Hamburger of Columbia Law School traces how that changed—and how government pressure on private platforms created new avenues for suppressing speech.
