IT’S CALLED “MY TRUTH.”
I rhetorically asked the question: "What happens to intellectuals, when after rejecting God, they reject atheism? Where is there left to go?"
The answer? To a pre-rational state of being, a private internal world, the “life of feeling”.https://t.co/hYZkhlzkKp

OPEN THREAD: Here we go again.
JOHN HINDERAKER: The Case for Secession. “Might a state like Texas legitimately decide that the federal government has so abandoned its duties under the Constitution that it has no alternative but to remove itself from the Union, and vindicate its citizens’ rights itself? I think such a decision, given the enormity of the issue of illegal immigration, would indeed be legitimate. Whether it would be well-advised is a question that should, in my view, be open for debate.”
Competent national leadership would never get us to a place where people are debating this, but our ruling class is happily playing Civilizational Jenga.

A FAILURE THEY’RE DOING THEIR BEST TO MEMORY-HOLE: Pandemic school closures, 4 years later. “Cooper and Cohen relied heavily on CDC guidance, as did the Toolkit, yet that guidance would come into question a little under two years when a Congressional committee found the CDC had allowed the American Federation of Teachers to rewrite key portions of school reopening guidance that had kept most schools closed. In some cases, the CDC had used AFT’s suggestions nearly verbatim.”
Every institution has been corrupted.
CHANGE? NCAA Wants to Ban ‘Prop Bets’ on College Games. “NCAA president Charlie Baker says that he is looking into a ban on prop bets, those bets on specific elements of a game rather than the outcome of the game itself, in college athletics. Thirty-eight states already prohibit prop bets in college sports, but Baker wants to extend those bans to all 50 states.”

FEDS DEMAND MORE TELEWORK: Let’s see now, federal workers who are mostly working at home anyway showed up recently at their Boston office to demand even more days to work at home. So why do they think they are most effective protesting at their office, but most effective for the taxpayers working at home?
PERESTROIKA? China’s Xi Seeks to Soothe Anxieties of American CEOs.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping, facing a slowing economy and a sharp fall in foreign investment, sought to reassure American chief executives that China’s economy hasn’t peaked and that the country is working to improve its business environment.
In a meeting with a group of more than a dozen U.S. business leaders and scholars on Wednesday, Xi also said the two countries should do more to overcome their differences and increase interactions, according to state broadcaster China Central Television.
The gathering in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing included the heads of two chip makers, Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon and Broadcom’s Hock Tan. Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, insurer Chubb’s Evan Greenberg and FedEx’s Raj Subramaniam also attended, according to readouts and footage from CCTV.
But: “The official readout of Xi’s comments didn’t include any references to the security concerns that foreign business groups had previously raised, including a series of office raids and staff detentions that rattled the foreign business community.”
