Ryan will physically duel with anyone who tries to submit an AI piece to @Plough
Take note

@suzania @MisterW00 ...that should be settled the old fashioned way.

@suzania Maybe not that pacifistly. I support the Bruderhofs as a buttress, rather than a pillar: from the outside.
English
I support this 100%
Just want to point out the phrase "We could tell"
"We" should start planning for a time when no one can
Susannah Black Roberts@suzania
We once again got a submission to Plough which the author had run through an LLM as (his terms) "a proofread and polish." We could tell, and although the piece was something we would have loved to publish, we cannot and will not accept pieces which use AI at any stage.

Rumors of my destruction have been greatly exaggerated.

many many favorite moments in the Another Life is Possible conference this weekend. But one was when a little girl from @TheBruderhof DESTROYED @RyanShinkel with Facts and Logic in the Pizza vs. Ice Cream debate. He had to concede.

How did American Protestant missionaries change the country's foreign policy? What is their impact today on humanitarian outreach and international development? And what does that have to do with Woodrow Wilson?

The Riflemen of the Revolution, many figures of the Scots-Irish, General Patton and General MacArthur: why are they all called Jacksonians?
This foreign policy tradition, explains guest Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead), is a sleeping giant that, when awoken, goes all-out on war.

What was the foreign policy vision of the Declaration of Independence? Why was it able bring together so many different parties?
And how did presidents such as George Washington govern afterwards for the national interest?

Although Thomas Jefferson opposed Alexander Hamilton's policies, why did he govern as an expansionist? And why did he come to support the Monroe Doctrine?
Scholar Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead) explains why this doctrine is so misunderstood, and why Jeffersonians came up with it.

What was the political vision of New England Puritans? And what is its strange influence today upon many of our modern, liberal, and secular ideas?
Scholar Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead) explains all this and more in his interview about the history of American foreign policy on Madison's Notes with host @RyanShinkel: apple.co/4w31XyJ

What did Thomas Jefferson object to in Alexander Hamilton's policies? And why did he fear the government's energetic foreign policy would be corrosive to American liberty?

How did Alexander Hamilton found the first school of American foreign policy?
He wanted to model the U.S. after England with its navy & trade, banks & currency, government support and manufacturing base. Which presidents since then have been Hamiltonians?

"Like the many sleight-of-hand & con artists, thieves & spies, politicians & gangsters found in David Mamet’s films, these fledgling or full-blown illusionists are oddballs trying to sell you something as they lighten your wallet and find camaraderie in the only way they know how.
"They all share a commitment—for very different purposes—to putting on the most excellent illusion possible."
From my essay for @APCON_MAG on conmen, cowboys, and spies:

We are all materialists now. We learn at a young age to take for granted the materialistic claim that mindless and meaningless particles moving in the void are all we have. But we do not "have" such particles at all. What we have are mountains and seas, deserts and forests.
