β€œWhen we are dispersed and we interact with other human beings only online, and the algorithms feed back our preferences and desires to us, what it effectively does is kind-of isolate us in these multiple sub caves.”

Jacob Howland is the provost of the University of Austin, a new, private liberal arts university that is pushing back against censorship and politically popular narratives in higher education.
As dean of the Intellectual Foundations program, Howland gives students a comprehensive education in the Western tradition, emphasizing both β€œAthens and Jerusalem,” he says.

β€œAfter communism fell, it’s as if the historical amnesia had removed the capacity of those who were still around to reckon with the past,” he says. β€œThere are inexhaustible resources in the tradition, and if we’re going to find our way forward, we’ve got to understand the past.”
