Christopher Marquis questions business schools. Thomas Roulet defends the progress they've made. Both have a point. But there's another reality we rarely discuss: what actually happens below the waterline, inside classrooms and institutions.
I spend my days telling students to think independently, then give them detailed instructions on exactly how to do it. My latest course is called No Script, and naturally, it comes with a meticulously organised syllabus. I explore this magnificent contradiction on Substack.

Reminds me of Travis Kalanick’s Atoms, different approaches, but the same encouraging shift: serious money and talent moving beyond software and AI hype to tackle the much harder business of making physical things.
We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation.
Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.
We teach management as leading people. What happens when half the team isn't human..?

Reading “A New Age of the Orator” in The Economist (Sept. 26), I had a thought: What if apps like Notion had a button to read any page aloud, just as ChatGPT lets you listen to responses? Switch between reading and listening whenever you want. Would be such a cool feature…
The most revealing part of an assignment produced with AI may be the sentence a student deleted. What made them decide it didn't belong?

One of the stranger things about teaching entrepreneurship is that students can discuss uncertainty for an hour and still ask me what the correct answer is...
The revealing bit is not that some professors would rather research than teach. It's that universities built an incentive system where becoming more successful can mean doing less teaching. Hard to call teaching the mission when escaping it is a reward. More insight in my latest article.
It feels like artificial intelligence is wresting higher education apart—but something bigger and more damaging has been taking place on college campuses for a long time, @ibogost argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
We tell students to challenge assumptions, then give them rubrics so precise that guessing what the professor wants becomes the safest strategy...
Universities say teaching is central, then reward academic success by making teaching less central. That choice eventually reshapes the classroom, the student experience, and even what a university thinks it is for. My latest Substack piece is about what happens when teaching gets quietly demoted...

If students have to disclose how they use AI, professors and university leaders should probably go first...
