In a 1986 game against the Dallas Mavericks, Bird walked over to their bench after a timeout and told them that Danny Ainge would inbound the ball to Dennis Johnson, or “DJ,” who would find him in the corner and he would step back to attempt a three-pointer. After detailing the entire play, Bird asked the Mavs bench, “So you got that? I’m gonna stand right here. I’m not going to move. They’ll pass me the ball, and the next sound you hear will be the ball hitting the bottom of the net.” And that is exactly what happened.

Try this as a 2-part writing exercise in your classes: Part 1: Write a very mundane, trivial, platitudinous statement on the board, such as "Sometimes, things change". Ask the students to rewrite the sentence, but to compete in making it as long-winded and as high-falutin' as they can. They will all succeed, but they will likely produce a horrible paragraph that reads like typical academic writing. Part 2: Give them a complicated paragraph, and ask them to rewrite it in a way an 8th-grader can understand. Half won't be able to do it. For me, this helps sell the idea that bad writing that sounds fancy is easy, but writing that is rigorous yet engaging and clear is hard. It also helps them realize many of their professors are faking it. —Jason Brennan, Ph.D. Georgetown

Politicians can always print more money. But they cannot print houses. Even the phrase “build more houses” is a loaded term. Building more houses also means making sure we have enough: • Road infrastructure • Energy • Water • Schools Economic growth is incredibly complex and shouldn’t be micromanaged by politicians from the top down. Trust the free market 🙏
