Learning usually occurs when we encounter new data. But we also have the capacity to reflect on our past experiences. What can we learn from simulating past experience?

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Why Itβs Important to Talk about Race with Children
Children start learning about race and racism as early as preschool. Talking about race early, however difficult, will help them become more antiracist
"White parents who see themselves as egalitarian must recognize that the stakes are now higher than ever. If you want to raise children who reject racism rather than passively absorbing it, right now, today, talk with your child about race and racism."

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.
It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say that Trumpβs victory has emboldened those who chafed at βwoke doctrineβ and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.
βI feel liberated,β said a top banker. βWe can say βretardβ and βpussyβ without the fear of getting cancelledβ.β.β.βitβs a new dawn.β
Some Wall Streeters also feel able to embrace making money openly, without nodding to any broader social goals. βMost of us donβt have to kiss ass because, like Trump, we love America and capitalism,β one said.
won't someone please think of the oppressed ... "top banker"?
