United States6 months ago - On Personalized Law through AI tools.
Archie Bunker would love this idea — as long as the Christian cannons are the criteria. How an academically serious person can make the many suggestions that the professor provided is ridiculous. Now, … I have not read the book. If it is satirical in theme, Norman Lear would approve.

Apple Podcasts2TiglathUnited States8 months ago Big Brains is an amazing podcast, bringing up a host of interesting and important issues, some of which I wasn't even aware of, and bringing them to life in that classic University of Chicago way that I love so much.

Rather than speaking in vague generalities, everyone is careful to explain what they mean anytime they throw out a generality, which allows for a discussion of sometimes very abstract ideas on a concrete and relatable level. Brilliant!
