In June, a woman who goes by Shannon Hill said that her 36-year-old
son would not acknowledge her birthday gift to him. Why? Because he
hasn't spoken to my husband or I in seven months because we voted for
Trump, she explained on X. Hill's viral tale worked like a Rorschach
test. MAGA parents read it and saw their own snowflakes, who are
triggered so easily. Others saw a narcissist who could not accept the
consequences of her actions. We don't know the truth, and we probably
never will. Maybe Hill's vote was the only reason her son needed to
block her. Maybe it was the final crack in a longer disintegration.
Whatever the reason, the result - estrangement has become more common.

On the one hand, we're learning that the birth rate is falling all

to decline this century. If trends continue on their present path,
demographers warn, there won't be enough people to work to support
society. The extreme labor shortages would lead to stagnation,
poverty, and ultimately in the most dire scenarios - the collapse of
civilization itself.

Harry Kalven, Jr., a late law professor at the University of Chicago,
once wrote that, from time to time, circumstances arise in which the
society, or segments of it, threaten the very mission of the
university and its values of free inquiry. These words are from the
Kalven Report, a 1967 policy paper that has since become gospel for
college presidents, who, over the years, have been asked to weigh in
on matters ranging from the war in Gaza to the feud between Biggie and
Tupac. To avoid stifling one viewpoint by endorsing another, Kalven
wrote, universities should maintain an approach that would become
known as institutional neutrality. In other words, for followers of
the Chicago tradition, the best way for a university to defend its
core values is typically to not make a stand.
