Why every college should read my book; and why they won't, yet™

The both/and, held honest. Why every college should: it's the civics and debate text the moment keeps asking for; the Art of Debate made playable, cited, free to read, built for the exact literacy the country is short on (and reading is measurably life). It teaches the one skill the algorithm can't; honest doubt, the steelman, how to score a record instead of swallow it. And why they won't, yet: the academy tends to gatekeep what was built outside its walls; a book with no imprint, no committee, and an author it can't slot scares the institution that runs on the stamp (the screen-out, in a cap and gown). Plus the plain arithmetic; it's new, and the reader hasn't arrived yet (we're just trying to be found; the signal is still traveling). “Yet” is the whole word; the should is real, the won't is temporary, and the gap between them is just time and one professor who opens the door. Kin: the Art of Debate, the reading-levels game, the-author-is-still-available, so-hirable-he's-not. (His coin; machine's read, loosely; refine to his.)
