A college professor grades 95 student essays. Then writes this:
"Miraculously, in the last year, mistakes of spelling and grammar have mostly disappeared—poof!—revealing sparkling error-free prose, even from students who speak English as a second or third language. The writing is getting better.
"The ideas are getting worse.
"There’s a new genre of essay that other academics reading this will instantly recognize, a clumsy collaboration between students and Silicon Valley. I call it glittering sludge.
"At the same time, in a totally unrelated development, some students have adopted a bold academic strategy: citing books and articles that do not exist.
"(In one particularly amusing example, a student cited me in an essay, drawing from my book, Fluke. The only problem: the alleged author of the cited text in the bibliography was not listed as Brian Klaas, but one “Benjamin Fluke.” Right title, wrong author, wrong publisher, wrong year. Well played, ChatGPT).
"The death of the student essay is not merely an academic concern. It is not just a problem for young people hoping to get good grades, nor is it only relegated to the realm of my fellow elbow-patched nerds. Instead, the rapidly improving ability to impressively mimic human language poses an existential threat to traditional methods of crafting smarter minds—which thereby challenges the future of human cognition."

But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.
In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.
How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.
Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...
"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”
Warren Harding, July 1920.
