   Jonah says (paraphrasing) “What else are you gonna do?” which I took as linking criticism of Oberlin for letting the bakery situation get to where it got with the bad idea (in my view) that perhaps conservatives should consider political approaches to inculcating public values. (I have found that whenever Jonah says he’s not trying to do something–in this case, bringing up the French/Amari conflict–that’s usually exactly what he’s doing.) In any case, there’s lots of things that could be done short of turning nonsense into a legal case. Most importantly, trustees could demand that college administrators follow the principles of their respective institutions rather than pander to student ideas of social justice, a phenom that is greatly impeding actual learning at the university level. Except for Mitch Daniels at Purdue and the president of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia after the SJWs came for Camille Paglia, college administrators don’t seem to be able (or want) to do this, I suspect because matriculating at their colleges is so expensive they feel they must pander to student emotions rather than expect them to behave in ways commensurate with the school’s intellectual reputation. The liberal legal system worked in this case, yes, but it should not have been needed. Decadence reigns.

   For what it’s worth, I think Rob showed a lot of courage in both taking and talking about his trip to Costa Rica. Perhaps (from my own surmising) what he experienced is personal involvement with quantum reality, described (negatively) by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance.” Some scientists hypothesize that some migratory birds use quantum effect to navigate their routes. Quantum computers are expected to offer major breakthroughs in finance, medicine, and health care by making use of the ability of subatomic particles to be in more than one place at a time. Is it too crazy to think that psychedelics might introduce the initiate to a quantum reality that enables fantastic soul searching?

   Hmm…courage or folly? Not sure.

   The bright, well educated, talented and still stoned Rob Long brought me —like— all the way back to 1967 and the 1st time I got wrecked on Cape Cod….kinda-sorta funny but if this were the 1st time I signed on to GLOP Culture it would, like, be …like…the last time.

   I’m tempted to get my $$ back.

   Funny to see Cary Grant while reading that, with his early lsd treatments.

   No, there have been weirder. Cornhole, anyone?

   Next week, they can play cornhole while on ayahuasca.

   American Cornhole

   World Championship July 2 – 6 in Las Vegas (where else?) “The Biggest Cornhole Party”…

   Now it would be weird if one of the GLoPs went and won some money playing Cornhole in Vegas… The stories they could tell, of cornhole in Vegas… I know, they couldn’t really tell because what happens in Vegas —

   Also Cornhole Heading to ESPN

   Whenever you find yourself saying “Freud was right”… It’s worrisome.

   Michael Stevens of Vsauce did this on his YouTube show Mind Field, so I was a bit familiar with what Rob was talking about.
