Just drop your photo, write "I escaped" and go.๐
๐ซThings to leave behind in 2020:
1. Leaving the diaspora and moving to "Gohna๐ฌ๐ญ" without a plan for earning income, then trying to survive in Gohna by monetizing your new YouTube channel about life in Gohna.
This thing is becoming a ponzi scheme and it must stopโ
There\u2019s a YouTuber who interviews people who\u2019ve moved back to Africa from the diaspora and somehow all the videos sound like this to me pic.twitter.com/jwjMZMkueZ

Best books I read in 2020
1. Atomic Habits by @JamesClear
โIf you show up at the gym 5 days in a rowโeven for 2 minutesโyou're casting votes for your new identity. Youโre not worried about getting in shape. Youre focused on becoming the type of person who doesnโt miss workoutsโ
Good Reasons for Bad Feelings
https://t.co/KZDqte19nG
2. โsocial anxiety is overwhelmingly common. Natural selection shaped us to care enormously what other people think..We constantly monitor how much others value us..Low self-esteem is a signal to try harder to please othersโ
The True Believer by Eric Hoffer
https://t.co/uZT4kdhzvZ
โHatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying agents...Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without a believe in a devil.โ
Grandstanding
https://t.co/4Of58AZUj8
"if politics becomes a morality pageant, then the contestants have an incentive to keep problems intact...politics becomes a forum to show off moral qualities...people will be dedicated to activism for its own sake, as a vehicle to preen"
Warriors and Worriers by Joyce Benenson
https://t.co/yLC4eGHEd4
โAcross diverse cultures, a man who lives in the house with another manโs children is about 60 times more likely than the biological father to kill those children.โ

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
