Very excited for this conversation.
Thank you.
People sometimes tell us it looks like a sauna, but it's cozy.
Well, there is, of course, an honorable version of cosplay where people actually create quite elaborate costumes and, you know, regenerate characters from their favorite superhero narratives or whatever it might be, Star Trek.
And, of course, there's a long history of people reenacting Civil War battles and things like this.
Right.
So it's not that it is inherently a bad phenomenon.
So I did want to say a couple of things about Peter that I know are going to get lost in his story.
We have actually had the privilege of not only participating in events that he hosted at his college, but also of lecturing in his classroom.
And so we've seen his relationship with his students.
And he is exactly the kind of professor that you want.
He cares at an extraordinary level.
He invests everything in teaching students how to think and not what to think.
And the idea that everything from a bag of feces to trumped up charges that resulted in investigations, the use of every possible weapon to silence somebody who's saying something that is obviously true.
It is a mechanism for generating a false appearance of consensus, which then persuades people that something that isn't true is.
And that's what the attempt is here.
And having forced him out, they have succeeded in something which will harm us all.
Yeah, it's actually cryptically an attempt to destroy the capacity to learn.
And I think one of the things that we saw when Evergreen melted down was that our colleagues became incapable of learning.
They could not see the lesson in front of them.
