😴 Did you sleep 7-8 hours for most of this week?
🧘‍♀️ Have you meditated this week? (or any other type of relaxed state, e.g. hot bath/shower)
🌲 Have you gone outside into nature this week? (like a park or forest)

❤️ If you're in a relationship, are you with the right person?
🌳 Does your current situation give you the freedom to do what you really want to do in life?

"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".
