The Crossroads of Democracy: Student Protests and the 2024 US Presidential Election
This spring’s student protests were more dramatic than any America has seen since the Vietnam War. On some campuses, classes and even graduation were canceled; in a number of cases, police were called in to dismantle protestors’ encampments. The upheaval sparked charges of antisemitism on the part of some pro-Palestinian student activists and faculty, and of unacceptable curtailment of free speech by university leaders. In all, the demonstrations cast a harsh light on America’s institutions of higher education, which have long been seen as jewels of American society. The protests also raised the question of whether opposition to the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel and Gaza could weaken support for the president’s effort to win reelection.
To discuss the campus turmoil of 2024, the president of the American Academy in Berlin, Daniel Benjamin, spoke with student journalist Theo Baker of Stanford-whose article “The War at Stanford” appeared in The Atlantic in March-Nicholas Christakis, Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale, and pollster Laura Silver, an associate director at Pew Research Center.
Theo Baker is an investigative journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The Atlantic, New York magazine, The Chicago Tribune, and elsewhere. As a student journalist for The Stanford Daily, he authored in-depth reports that resulted in the resignation of Stanford’s president and the retraction of several high profile scientific studies. A sophomore at Stanford University, he is the youngest ever recipient of a George Polk Award.
Nicholas A. Christakis is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University. His work is in the fields of network science and biosocial science. He directs the Human Nature Lab and is the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science. He was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2006, American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010, American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017, and the National Academy of Sciences in 2024.
Laura Silver is an associate director at Pew Research Center, where she specializes in international survey research and writes about a variety of topics; she is also involved in all aspects of quantitative research process and survey design. Prior to Pew, she was a foreign affairs research analyst at the US Department of State in the Office of Opinion Research. Silver’s work has been published in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research and International Studies Quarterly, among others, and she regularly shares findings with media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, Foreign Policy, South China Morning Post, CNN, BBC, Deutsche Welle, and Radio Free Asia, among others.

Commentators in recent years have predicted the decline of the US dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency.

The dollar’s dominance creates opport...

    Thanks to the american academy in Berlin President Macron said that he want the new construction of 15 atomic power factory until 2030 The EU have now new consideration of electric power generated by atomic factory as part of green energy Somewhwere i read that in the word should be constructed about 200 new atomic factory until 2040. Germany 2022 shut down the last atomic factory but in the winter 2022/2023 they had problem with gas because of ucrain war . Germany turn up carbon burning for electric generation and there was an increasing output of CO2 emission The EU want to be until 2040 CO2 neutry. The burning of gas for heating will be stopped It should be heating only by heating pump (clima) For it heating in all Europ it will be led to a growing consumtion of energy in winter . For Hydrogen production that will be need by GermanyIndustry it necessary electric power. The hydrogenpipelines are in construction in germany. At the end i want to say that atomic genereted power its priority for climate change An atomic factory cost abour 10 billion dollar 200 unit cost 2000 billion dollar it will be a big business in the next 25 years.

    One in every 69 people, or 1.5 per cent of the entire world's population, is now forcibly displaced. This is nearly double the 1 in 125 people who were displaced a decade ago. Over 117.3 million people were forcibly displaced at the end of 2023. This equates to more than 1 in every 69 people on Earth. Syria continues to be the world's largest refugee crisis as we enter 2024, representing nearly 25% of the total global refugee population. As of mid-2023, 6.49 million Syrians have sought refuge, primarily in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, and Türkiye . The current forced displacement of almost 2 million Palestinians and mass destruction of civilian property and infrastructure in the occupied Gaza Strip puts a spotlight on Israel's appalling record of displacing Palestinians and its ongoing refusal to respect their right to return for the last 76 years. And the numbers keep rising. I love this man and his cogent comments.

    The Theremin was actually invented in 1920 in Russia. 1929 was the U.S. patent date when Lev Sergeivich Termn sold the patent to RCA. The Beach Boys song was "Good Vibrations" not "Smooth Vibrations," and an instrument called the stringer was used in place of a true Theremin.

    I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s going to hell bc Allah Alone Knows what will happen to this man. However I would say he doesn’t really know much about anything that has to do with Arabic and that becomes painfully clear bc of his poor understanding of the Arabic. Also Islam is clear so long as one adheres to the Quran and sunnah and is not Arab centric. Even the fact that he classified Islam as later adaptation as a religion when he ignored the fact that Islam (or…the Quran) in fact progressed over 23 years. It’s not like the Quran was dropped in prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ lap wholepiece. Also there’s an entire science of Hadith. So if you see the science of Hadith then you can come to know what is sound. And honestly his absolute denial of prophecy and the possibility that God is real hinders him from accepting that prophet Muhammad ﷺ could have predicted something 200 years in the future. Then I want him to explain how someone could fabricate prophecies of things that didn’t happen until the 19th century and 20th. Please explain who would have went back and implanted that’s prophecies in manuscripts that predate the event itself?

    The biggest hurdle this man seems to have is his lack of knowledge in regards to Arabic. He has a bachelors in oriental studies and so far (43 minutes into this lecture) he has used mostly conjecture and no facts. He actually almost made me laugh when he tried to use the word mu’mineen (believers) to prove the idea that Muslim and believers are different. Every Muslim alive knows that Muslim is one who submits to Allah and that a mu’mineen is a reference to Muslims who have reached a deeper level of understanding in their religion. Yes it’s interchangeable with Muslim when used in certain context like Amir Al-mu’mineen but this doesn’t change the overall understanding of the underlying meaning of these words
