  Covid alerted the nation to the reality that K-12 schools were infested with ideologues bent on indoctrinating children. Then, three years after the beginning of the pandemic, the response to Hamas's genocidal assault on Israel made Americans aware that the same tumor had wholly sickened our country's colleges and universities. Now, conservatives—and increasingly, moderates and old-school liberals—want to know exactly how the radical left captured higher education. 
   
   
   
  Florida has been the vanguard in the war to restore sanity to higher education. And Richard Corcoran has been one of its commanding generals. When Corcoran was Florida's education commissioner, he was the point person for reopening schools and banning mask mandates. He triumphed. Then, he was given a herculean task: remaking a college overrun by radicalism and cancel culture. In 2023, he moved into the president's office in Sarasota, took on a campus mob, and challenged a media firestorm. 
   
   
   
  Just a year later, Corcoran achieved the seemingly impossible. He turned around New College of Florida. Now, free speech is protected. Violence and anti-Semitism are abolished. DEI bureaucracy is eliminated. And enrollment records are being broken. Storming the Ivory Tower is the story of how Corcoran is winning the fight for freedom in hostile territory and how others can join.

  Egyptian Military Leaders -...

  The military strength of ancient Egypt was a defining factor in its ability to expand and sustain one of the most enduring civilizations in history. From its early beginnings, Egypt developed a structured and disciplined military that evolved to meet the challenges posed by both internal conflicts and foreign threats. The foundation of this power lay in the organization of its armed forces, the strategic leadership of its rulers, and the continual advancement of its weaponry and tactics. 
  In the early periods, Egypt's military was primarily a defensive force, focused on protecting the fertile Nile Valley from nomadic raiders. The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer marked a crucial turning point, as military conquest became a tool for political consolidation. The pharaohs not only ruled as divine monarchs but also acted as supreme military commanders, leading their armies into battle and overseeing large-scale campaigns. This dual role reinforced their authority and ensured that military success translated into political stability. 
  One of the key factors in Egypt’s military rise was its ability to adapt to new technologies and strategies. During the Second Intermediate Period, Egypt faced the Hyksos, a foreign power that introduced advanced chariot warfare and superior composite bows. Instead of being permanently subdued, the Egyptians learned from their enemies, incorporating these innovations into their own forces. This adaptation played a crucial role in the expulsion of the Hyksos and the rise of the New Kingdom, during which Egypt became an empire with far-reaching influence.

  ATOMIC HABITS 10-Minute Summary...

  James Cleary

  This book by James Clear offers an approach rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and sociology to help people build positive habits and eliminate negative ones. Its core premise is that habits are the foundation of success, and that small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements in one’s life. 
  Beyond their personal impact on identity and success, Atomic Habits also raises broader questions about the role habits play in shaping societies and cultures. While Clear focuses on individual development, his principles can be applied collectively. For example, what would happen if governments, businesses, or communities intentionally designed environments that encourage good habits at scale? Behavioral architecture is already in use in some areas—like walkable city design or waste reduction through nudging strategies—but its full potential remains largely untapped. 
  Another underexplored aspect is how digital technology affects habit formation. In a world where algorithms influence what we see, read, and buy, our habits are no longer purely personal choices—they’re shaped by systems designed to maximize our engagement. This raises a critical question: how can we regain control over our behavior in such a hyperconnected environment? 
  Habits are valuable when they fit the context, but what happens when that context changes? A habit that’s beneficial today might become irrelevant—or even harmful—tomorrow. Real mastery isn’t just about building habits; it’s also about knowing when to adapt or let them go. 
  Ultimately, the book reminds us that the power to change lies in our hands—not in sweeping decisions, but in the small, consistent actions we take each day. Over time, those actions shape who we become and what we achieve.

  Inviting new translations of classical Buddhist texts about why the self is an illusion—and why giving it up can free us from suffering 
   
   
   
  From self-realization and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed. We are even told that finding ourselves is the key to happiness. Better to lose yourself! More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion—and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering. How to Lose Yourself presents lively, accessible, and expert new translations of ancient Buddhist writings about the central, unique, and powerful Buddhist teaching of "no-self." 
   
   
   
  Drawn from three important Buddhist traditions, these essential Indian, Tibetan, and Chinese writings provide a rich sampling of the ways Buddhist philosophers have understood the idea that we are selfless persons—and why this insight is so therapeutic. When we let go of the self, we are awakened to the presence of all things as they truly are, and we let go of the anxiety, fear, greed, and hatred that are the source of all suffering.
