    Axe & Answered - Academic Freedom Under Attack?
    Mar 2 2026

    The Texas Legislature has been passing bills that serve to restrict and control what kinds of subjects can be taught in Texas universities. Supporters say it's to keep professors from "indoctrinating" students in their classrooms. Opponents say it's outright censorship that restricts academic freedoms.

    What is the future of education at Texas universities.

    Artificial Intelligence 2.0: What's AI up to now in 2024?
    Nov 14 2024

    In this discussion, we dive into the continued growth of AI (artificial intelligence) and how it's improved dramatically since it first appeared to the public back in 2022. How has it impacted education, positively or negatively? Will it replace humans in the labor market? Will it ever get so good that it will become sentient and destroy us?
