What sustains liberal democracy beyond formal constitutions? @messina_jp, @jcrohsaine, Logan Strother, and I won $1.99M from the John Templeton Foundation to find out. Purdue, the Stephenson Institute, Jack Miller Center, and IHS bring us to nearly $2.91M. cla.purdue.edu/news/college/…

Interesting. Two grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

Try to imagine a US President telling Ford that they shouldn't sell cars to foreigners, and that they should cut their R&D. It wouldn't happen. But that's what we're doing to one of America's most important exports: Education. 🧵

Every college discussion on here pretends that there are ten colleges and if you don't go to them you should just kill yourself. Go to a flagship state school. Attend football games. Become obsessed with that football team. Pour your entire emotional wellbeing into that football team. Profit.
