DOGE Runs Amok & Originalism’s Ahistoricism

In 'Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites,' Ilya Shapiro examines the transformation of higher education and legal education in the United States. He argues that prestigious law schools have been overtaken by radical student movements and biased faculty, leading to a decline in critical thinking, logical argumentation, and respect for opposing views. Shapiro draws from his personal experiences, including a controversial tweet that led to calls for his firing from Georgetown Law, to illustrate the institutional weaknesses and ideological capture of America’s law schools. The book warns that this trend has significant implications for the future of the legal profession, government, and society as a whole.

Laura Dodsworth's "Manhood: The Bare Reality" complements her work on "Bare Reality," extending the exploration of body image and identity to men. Through interviews and photographs, Dodsworth examines men's experiences with their bodies and how societal expectations shape their self-perception. The book challenges traditional masculinity norms and provides a platform for men to share their stories. Dodsworth's approach is sensitive and insightful, fostering open dialogue about male identity and the complexities of modern masculinity. The book contributes to a broader understanding of gender and the diverse experiences of men in society.
