Right. So, Charlie, I know that you're a conservative, but these categories were actually jumped up by David Graeber, who is an anthropologist, and he's hardly conservative. He's a left anarchist.

But I think this is sort of one of the issues, really, that should be apolitical, that people at both ends of the political spectrum should see, is that there are a lot of these people with sort of confusing jobs. And just to run through them, the flunkies are people like administrative assistants. There are a lot of assistants for these mid-level bureaucrats

Why all of these mid-level bureaucrats need assistance, again, is unclear. Are they really that busy? Maybe they are, but maybe. And this is what Graeber says, is that the bureaucrats are just there to make them feel more important. And that also seems like a very plausible explanation. We can't know for sure unless we hear from them. And that's why we sent that email.

Goons are those who sort of fight people on behalf of the university, deceive people. Everybody in the communications office, essentially.

And in particular, the Brown spokesperson. has been putting a lot of misinformation out about me in the press because he's been saying that this site is using confidential information. He's been telling that to all the reporters. And that's not true, but we can get into that later. But your title, your job description, that's not confidential. The duct tapers are the third category.

These are sort of people like... Like, think about, like...

all the it staff that is dedicated to maintaining an upkeep of of all these various data systems like at brown the wi-fi goes out all the time um like all the systems the it systems are not great and so instead of just having like an end-to-end solution that is like a well-designed system they just have a whole lot of it staff just just sitting around um

fixing things when it breaks, duct taping it, so to say, instead of just designing it well in the first place. Box stickers are essentially people, compliance officers, DEI officers that just go around and they just essentially check boxes to see, are you doing this? Are you doing this? You don't really add any value. They're just making sure that everybody else toes the line.

And then the taskmasters are just these mid-level administrators that just boss around the lower-level administrators and give them tasks. Maybe they're writing memos. Maybe they're drafting strategic action plans. How would this benefit students? I don't know, but I'm sure they think that they are very, very important.

Right. So this has been reported pretty widely at this point. And I'm backed by FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. And they put out a blog post that pretty much outlies the entire situation. But according to what FIRE is saying is Brown is pursuing a preliminary review against me for four different charges. They're saying it's emotional and psychological harm.
