I'm not able to do anything productive right now so I want to drill something home: this front page took decades. It is an outcome of us: @harvard, @yale, @stanford, @princeton, @MIT, and more, as much as it is anything. Recognize it & rebuilding is possible; bandaids won't work.
Recognize it.
Recognize it.

Take a look at this brilliant George Saunders piece from 2016. It's even more amazing at this end of the experience. newyorker.com/magazine/2016/…
