Oh those clouds

 

After I’d explored the wildflower-strewn Prairie View Cemetery in Briggs for a good while on April 13th we continued north on US 183 to Lampasas, where I kept taking photographic advantage of the great shape-shifting clouds that had continued since our time at the cemetery. The first picture is from my “real” camera, the second from my iPhone 14.

 

 

Upon leaving Lampasas and heading south on US 281, we hadn’t gotten far when I pulled over to take even more pictures that played up the drama in the sky.

Watching the breakdown on American college campuses in recent days, I can’t help thinking—like almost everyone else—what went wrong? 

These beautiful institutions, such as Columbia and Yale and Harvard, used to be places of learning. How did they end up being the American epicenter of Jew-hate and everything else that is moronic? How could a place of learning become a place where automatons shout and repeat phrases just taught to them, and think that screaming the same thing over and over is any kind of persuasive tactic?

Such actions are, in fact, the antithesis of what the university is meant to be about. One reason that intelligent, educated, civilized people do not spend their spare time screaming the same slogans over and over is that it is the opposite of intellectualism. It is the opposite of dialogue, inquiry, and rationalism—all things that the universities were meant to encourage.

How did this happen?

 

That’s from an April 28th article by Douglas Murray in The Free Press. You’re welcome to continue reading and find out how he answers his own question.
