Russian elites are buying black-market dissertations

In 2012, in light of Jasser defending the New York Police Department's Muslim-spying programs, Mother Jones reported
that he had become the right's "go-to guy when it comes to providing cover for policies or positions that many Muslim Americans contend are discriminatory. Jasser, a Muslim who said he has known Gorka for a couple of years, was also on the CPAC panel with Gorka and Waltz last week.

Geniuses are rarely the best teachers, the best critics, or the best explainers. And if this is the case for some of the simplest human activities, it's far more true for the most complex ones — writing symphonies and novels, developing new technologies, inventing new scientific paradigms. So it's rare to come across a genius's account of "how genius works.

Thomas Joscelyn, a counterterrorism expert and senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said that while he agrees that the motivations of terrorists are complex, previous White House administrations haven't paid enough attention to ideology.

That's just what it is. But Seb writes for a larger audience. Attacking him because he's not writing in peer-reviewed journals — you're not allowed to talk about this stuff in peer-reviewed journals. "It's not like we don't know who these people are. I think they're wrong in their own ways. we read all these people," Reaboi said.

Franks told Business Insider that he's known Gorka for years and thinks Gorka is "one of the most prescient minds on the subject of jihadist ideology in the world today. Trent Franks, a Republican from Arizona and member of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement
supporting Gorka last week.

It's a useful lesson, even for those of us not grappling with high-level mathematics. Steve Jobs, for instance, turned simplification into a multibillion-dollar strategy for computers and devices. Jobs became a kind of student of the simple, and he drew his inspiration for Apple products from others who had managed to excise the unnecessary: the architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Joseph Eichler, for instance, and the designers of the Zen gardens around Kyoto.

" He told The Washington Post recently that he "jettison[s]" the view of past administrations that the terrorism problem is "nuanced and complicated. He said during the CPAC panel that terrorism "isn't about poverty or lack of education. " He said terrorism is rooted in Islam and portions of the Quran. Gorka, however, takes a more simplistic view.

"Views that were previously on the far right are now at the center of the White House," he said. "We didn't want to legitimize views or mainstream views that we thought were on the furthest fringes of the conversation, but now obviously we do have to engage.

It's true — and not a surprise. Even when it comes to the most basic everyday tasks — making a pot of coffee, parallel parking, or folding the laundry — it's one thing to do them; it's something else entirely to shut off the force of habit and explain, step-by-step, how you are doing them.

"We're in for a long haul, and I think our nation's leadership needs to begin telling the American people, 'I'm sorry, we don't have a choice, we are 15 years into what is going to be a multigenerational war, because we're talking about defeating an idea,'" Waltz said.

"Trump alone among major political figures has stood up to say this is nonsense. "Immigration to the United States — by Muslims or anyone else — is presented as a civil right for foreigners: the burden is forced on Americans to prove that Muhammed is a terrorist or Jose is a criminal, and if we can't, we must let them in," he wrote.

He said the discourse suggesting that "ISIS has nothing to do with Islam" is counterproductive because "it's clear to even the most casual observer that ISIS has something to do with Islam. Hamid said we should be having a "nuanced conversation" about the power of religious ideology and the role of religion in terrorism.

Several people who have known Gorka for years and spoke to Business Insider for this story insisted that he's not an anti-Semite or Islamophobe, and say he simply takes a different approach to counterterrorism than previous administrations.

"No one has a problem with that in academia. "A lot of us write about the relevance and power of religion as a motivating factor that has to be taken into account" in analyzing terrorism, Hamid said. … But in peer-reviewed journals, it just has to be backed by evidence. If you're coming in and making broad, sweeping generalizations without any evidence … then of course that won't be published.

Shannon's information theory, for instance, began with a colossal simplification: It treated every source of information, from a TV broadcast to a gene, as fundamentally the same. All of the information that they send can be measured in the same unit — the bit — and they can all be studied as instances of the same basic process of encoding, transmitting, and decoding. Stripping away everything inessential was just what helped Shannon get to the essence of information.Anton, the senior NSC staffer, and McFarland, the former Fox News analyst who is now Trump's deputy national-security adviser, have also been out of government work for years and have been the subjects of media articles
scrutinizing
their views.

"I do go out of my way to take religion seriously as a factor in understanding groups like ISIS or just understanding the Middle East more generally — this question of, 'How much does religion matter? '" Hamid told Business Insider. "There is a legitimate critique to be made that too often we don't take religion seriously enough as a factor.

As Shannon put it, "it seems to be much easier to make two small jumps than the one big jump in any kind of mental thinking. " The refusal to make "the one big jump" was a secret of Shannon's success in his early and most productive years, up through the publication of "The Mathematical Theory of Communication. Shannon gives a nod here to the value of experience and years of study and practice. But for him, the value of such practice is that it allows for a kind of ingenious incrementalism.

Shannon was speaking to an audience of engineers, but we've found his problem-solving methods remarkably flexible across a whole range of fields and refreshingly accessible to all of us non-geniuses, too. Because what Shannon describes isn't the glittering end product of his mental efforts, it's the process he takes to get there, one that doesn't require an excess of IQ points to use.

" But the fact that he considered his strategies worth sharing at all suggests that you don't have to be a genius to reap their benefits. Yet even though he excelled in the world of mathematics and engineering, the beauty of Shannon's lecture is that its insights apply just as well outside of that world. Few of us have Shannon's mental gifts, or even his quality of "constructive dissatisfaction.

"Islam is not a 'religion of peace'; it's a militant faith that exalts conversion by the sword and inspires thousands to acts of terror — and millions more to support and sympathize with terror," Anton wrote.

Where does genius come from? " That fundamental drive was indispensable: "If you don't have that, you may have all the training and intelligence in the world, [but] you don't have the questions and you won't just find the answers.
Above all, Shannon said in his speech, the defining mark of a genius is not that he or she is an encyclopedia of answers — it is a quality of "motivation … some kind of desire to find out the answer, the desire to find out what makes things tick.

Two countries that are riddled by civil war. "Political factors matter a lot, and the fact that someone like Gorka is not willing to acknowledge the role of political context is very concerning," Hamid said. "We do know that political context matters a lot because where are the two countries where ISIS gained the most ground?

National-security analysts who emphasize the importance of defeating Islamic extremist ideology say they have struggled under several administrations to get a seat at the policymaking table and push their ideas into the mainstream.

His critics have also taken aim at his dissertation
for a university in Budapest, which they say wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of a US university, and his book
on terrorism, which was a New York Times best-seller.
One of the criticisms of Gorka is that he doesn't have the experience or academic credentials to be advising the White House on policy. What makes a scholar? Some talk about the fact that he doesn't speak Arabic.

"It's the self-licking ice-cream cone," Reaboi said in response to mentions of experts like the Brookings Institution's Will McCants and the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy's Hassan Hassan, who have written well-received books on ISIS.

The value of turning that problem upside down was just why it was so essential to avoid "ruts of mental thinking," the tendency to become trapped by all the work you or your field has already put in. There's a reason why, as Shannon put, "someone who is quite green to a problem" will sometimes be the one to solve it: They are unconstrained by the biases that build up over time.

It's quite a departure from the Obama administration's refusal to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism" for fear of stigmatizing Muslims and playing into terrorist groups' narrative of a clash of civilizations between Muslims and the West.

This turning tide is illustrated by Gorka, a former editor at Breitbart News who is now a deputy assistant to the president for the Strategic Initiatives Group, a new White House organization that US officials have said
is like a parallel National Security Council. Gorka has faced an onslaught of negative media attention in recent weeks.

Bob Gallager, a Shannon graduate student who went on to become a leading information theorist himself, saw this process of radical simplification in action. " For Shannon, though, bells and whistles were just a distraction and he proceeded to take the problem apart piece by piece. He describes coming to Shannon's office one day with a new research idea full of "bells and whistles.-Mexican border be covered by a high brick wall? Will Trump be able to take a grand victory tour in front of something that looks pleasingly like a wall when he campaigns for reelection? Will every part of the U.

And yet, many of us are at it again. With a preternatural confidence oddly unshaken by the last months, pundits once again claim that Trump is sure to fail. But the reasons they give for their optimism are, as ever, weaker than they first appear. Over the course of the campaign, we should have learned just how easy it is to fall prey to wishful thinking.

The Strategic Initiatives Group, for which Gorka works, has the power to write executive orders. And Gorka has spoken on behalf of the administration in the media and on panels like the one at CPAC. A new approach to counterterrorism and national security
Gorka is one representative of the new generation of national-security advisers lending their expertise to policymaking groups in the White House.

In a cache of unpublished papers deep in an online archive, we found Shannon's attempt at an answer. It's the typed text of a March 20th, 1952, lecture to his colleagues at Bell Labs on the topic of "Creative Thinking. " And it turned out to represent a tantalizingly rare window into the mind of a scientific genius — a step-by-step breakdown of Shannon's method for formulating and solving problems.

"If I've been trying to prove a mathematical theorem for a week or so and I finally get the solution, I get a big bang out of it," Shannon said. Shannon was choosing his words carefully when he said that you have to "have the questions. " The greatest reward of genius may be the satisfaction that comes with resolving intellectual puzzles.

" Shannon admitted that this process could file a problem down to almost nothing, but that was precisely the point: "You may have simplified it to a point that it doesn't even resemble the problem that you started with; but very often if you can solve this simple problem, you can add refinements to the solution of this until you get back to the solution of the one you started with. No matter the problem, Shannon said, "cut it down to size.

Failing this difficult work of simplification, you might attempt another step: Encircle your problem with existing answers to similar questions, and then deduce what it is that the answers have in common. Drawing P's and S's on the blackboard to stand for problems and solutions, Shannon observed that if you're a true expert, "your mental matrix will be filled with P's and S's," a vocabulary of questions already answered. Step 2: Fill your 'mental matrix' with solutions to similar problems.

"Combatting violent extremism — I was never a fan of that phrase because you don't want to blame all Muslims or all of Islam, but you can go too far in the other direction and strip it of all ideological meaning whatsoever.

That's particularly true for mathematicians. He starts off and proves a good many results which don't seem to be leading anywhere and then eventually ends up by the back door on the solution of the given problem. "Many proofs in mathematics have been actually found by extremely roundabout processes," Shannon pointed out. "A man starts to prove this theorem and he finds that he wanders all over the map.

Shannon's real genius lay not in explaining how his own mind worked, but in his capacity for simplifying, taking apart, and inverting problems automatically. Shannon left his colleagues with a final, particularly challenging thought: "I think that good research workers apply these things unconsciously; that is, they do these things automatically. They have to become second nature — you have to live inside of them. " As valuable and as rare as it is to find a bona fide genius spelling out the operations of his genius, putting your modes of problem-solving into words isn't enough.

It might seem obvious that we can find answers to questions in our field hiding in adjacent fields, but how many of us actually take the time to deeply engage the ideas in another domain? It's uncomfortable to be a novice, to be airdropped into unexplored intellectual terrain. But that kind of exercise, as Shannon himself demonstrated, can help everyone from mathematicians to tech entrepreneurs break through creative blocks.

Fresh angles can come in different forms. How to work this into your work? Each time, he would discover different issues and errors. Michael Lewis, the best-selling author of such books as "Moneyball" and "The Blind Side," once described an editing process that involved looking at his almost-finished text on his phone, on printed paper, and on the computer screen. While it's amusing to think of a famous author correcting paragraphs with his thumbs, what Lewis is doing is precisely what Shannon would have suggested: looking at the "problem" of his written work in a way he hadn't before.

Gorka, he said, is helping to diversify the thinking of those who craft foreign policy in the US. Gorka himself told NPR on Wednesday that the new administration wouldn't work with "so-called terrorism experts" who were "linked in any way to the last eight years of disastrous counterterrorism.What will be the consequences? All through its history, America enjoyed two big advantages: well-designed institutions and
a deep commitment to democratic norms. The checks and balances built into the Constitution, they say, make it very difficult for Trump to abuse his powers in a blatant way. And yet, many pundits and scholars are deeply skeptical of this scenario. That commitment is now weaker than it has ever been.

Step one, Shannon said, you should approach a problem — any problem — by simplifying: "Almost every problem that you come across is befuddled with all kinds of extraneous data of one sort or another; and if you can bring this problem down into the main issues, you can see more clearly what you're trying to do. Step 1: Simplify.

In March, Sarkar posted online that Klug — the man he had praised in his 2013 dissertation as a mentor — had made him "really sick. What soon became clear was that Sarkar believed the professor he killed, William Klug, had stolen code from him.

This undated photo shows Ashley Hasti, left, and Mainak Sarkar, who police say carried out a murder-suicide at the University of California, Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 1, 2016. Sarkar had a "kill list" with multiple names that included professor Bill Klug, Hasti who was found dead in a Minneapolis suburb and another UCLA professor who was not harmed, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press.

Endurance athletes know this Shannon trick well. The Olympic runner Kara Goucher talked about the first time she had to run a marathon — a significantly longer distance (26. When the pain hit, she had to remind herself to go a chunk at a time, to "survive to each mile marker, knowing I could get another mile out of myself. 2 miles) than her usual 10,000 meter race distance (6.

Then his life began to unravel. LOS ANGELES (AP) — With a wall's worth of academic degrees from top universities and a new wife in his chosen country, Mainak Sarkar entered mid-life with a foundation of success.

"The Everything Store" was an act of radical generalization — taking something that had worked in a small product category and extending it as far as it would go. So why not do it yourself? Again, that's the case in the specialized world of math, but it's equally true in any field that depends on "scaling up" solutions to smaller problems. It's a well-worn example, but just consider how effectively Amazon generalized the lessons it learned selling books, until they applied to virtually any product under the sun.

And yet, many of the same pundits and political scientists who confidently predicted that Trump would never be president are now confidently predicting that his presidency will soon be tanked by incompetence and unpopularity.

In a TED talk, chess Grandmaster Maurice Ashley explained how he often uses that method to plan his strategy backwards from the endgame he has in mind. "When you're dead, I already knew 10 moves ago, because I knew where you were going," he said. This style of "retrograde analysis" or "backwards induction" has a wide range of applications, in everything from game theory to medicine.

He said that Gorka tailors his materials to "practitioners, law enforcement, and special forces. " Gorka suggested in his interview with The Washington Post that he writes more for people fighting terrorism in the field than for academics in the US.

'
Problems that can't be solved by analysis might still be "solved" backwards. Step 5: Solve the problem 'backwards. If you can't use your premises to prove your conclusion, just imagine that the conclusion is already true and see what happens. Try proving the premises instead.

So, how did he do it?
That question — How did he do it? An introverted Midwesterner, shy from childhood through adulthood, Shannon had the kind of impenetrable intellect common to geniuses. He kept his own counsel, and he wasn't given to waxing philosophical on the creative process or the nature of genius. — always hovered at the edges of Shannon's life.

At each stage, he found bridges between fields that had no prior connection. For his PhD dissertation, he applied algebra to the science of genetics and produced publishable work within a year, despite having no background as a biologist or geneticist. His years of work on symbolic logic and electrical engineering provided him with a wealth of portable concepts that shed new light on the field.

"I feel like that's what's happened with people like Gorka," Hamid said. "In an attempt to correct what they view as the political correctness of the left, they overcorrect and go too far in the opposite direction.

Many well-respected national-security experts have come out publicly against
Gorka holding a high-level position in the White House. They say he doesn't have the qualifications or knowledge to be influencing government policy, and some say his ideas are even dangerous and Islamophobic
.There's something to this hope. And there is a decent chance that some big scandal that hurts voters in a direct way—something of the magnitude of the botched federal response to Hurricane Katrina—will come to define Trump in the eyes of the electorate. Trump will likely do less damage than he might have done if he had a highly professional, ideologically coherent set of fellow travelers at the ready.

Crowley's claims, however, appeared to be derived from two shaky sources: a thinly sourced National Review story
based on a single Facebook post
, and a colorful story from FrontPage Magazine
, a far-right publication, that cited the same Facebook post.

Getting things done in government is
very hard, but destroying things in government is pretty easy. But this scenario is not as reassuring as it looks. It doesn't take incredible skill for the president to command government scientists to cease doing climate-related research, to rescind executive orders protecting the dreamers, or to abolish the United States Agency for International Development. And even some affirmative steps can easily be taken by a cadre of incompetents: A policy of mass deportations, for example, may be less systematic when run by amateurs, but it's unlikely to be less cruel.

No one knows if the graffiti is factually accurate or what the motives were of the vandal. It is an open-source encyclopedia whose entries on controversial political matters are zealously guarded by social justice warriors who prefer 'wikilawyering' and using their sheer numbers to prevail in edit wars. Copying from Wikipedia is often like writing down graffiti from bathroom stalls in nightclubs. "Amazingly, some people consider copying from Wikipedia to be plagiarism.

That Trump isn't sure to fail does not mean that he's certain to succeed. It's perfectly possible that he'll crash and burn. But to figure out how to beat Trump, we must start by taking him—and the danger he poses—seriously.

Authorities say Sarkar killed his estranged wife in a Minneapolis suburb then drove across half the country to Los Angeles and fatally shot the UCLA professor who had helped him earn an engineering Ph.

But for every poll showing Trump with a net favorability rating of -21, there has also been one showing him at +7. The polls that get most traction on social media, it turns out, are those that make people like you and me feel better. 5 percent of the population now sees him favorably and 48 percent unfavorably.

"What happened to me was a despicable, straight-up political hit job, OK? " Crowley told Fox News

Ask yourself several questions before choosing your dissertation topic: 1) Are there people in your department readily available to help you develop your dissertation topic and research? Also, a disinterested dissertation committee member or chair may not offer you the time and attention you will need to complete the dissertation. You should also choose a dissertation topic or idea that is convenient. 2) Is there a faculty member who would be interested in working with you closely on your dissertation topic, ideas and research? This could make your experience frustrating and extremely difficult to complete. If you choose a dissertation topic that faculty in your department are unfamiliar with, you will have a hard time finding dissertation support.

At 32, Shannon published "The Mathematical Theory of Communication," which has been called "the Magna Carta of the Information Age. " It invented the concept of the "bit," showed how information could be quantified, and demonstrated how electronic messages could be both radically compressed and sent between any two points with perfect accuracy.

Eldredge called Klug an exceptional person and teacher who had a gentle way giving feedback to students. Even so, Sarkar "didn't take criticism well" when he submitted a dissertation that advisers returned, requesting significant revisions.

"Most of the time it's people that would rather use the Obama-style euphemisms for terrorism and for the ideology that spawns it," Franks said. Gorka is capable of speaking to it in strategic terminology that leaves no reasonable listener confused about the clarity of this being a national narrative, a global narrative by terrorists to subjugate those who don't hold to their ideology.

There was the revelation that one of his nominees had plagiarized parts of her dissertation. There was the revelation that Trump would not place his vast business holdings in a blind trust. As one fairly typical op-ed, invoking a famous quote about Dwight Eisenhower, puts These scandals showcase a level of sleaze and corruption that may hurt Trump in the estimation of voters. There was the revelation that Russia may have material to blackmail Trump. As important, they suggest a level of incompetence that may well dog his ability to effect real change once he gets into office. Getting things done in government is far from easy—and with a team of amateurs, so the hope goes, Trump's bluster will be no match for the vast machinery of the federal bureaucracy.She planned to meet Thursday with the heads of Germany's armed forces to discuss the officer's case as well as separate investigations of alleged hazing and sexual abuse within the military stretching back several years.

" He was omnivorous in his information intake, and he didn't just read papers in mathematics and engineering, but also devoured poetry and philosophy and even music. His example ought to inspire us to do the same: to gather and store information and insights that may not have direct relevance to our work, but that can provide useful solutions by analogy. One way to do this: Read widely. Remember: Shannon's P's-and-S's strategy worked because he had a very full "mental matrix.

Pull out of the Paris climate accord. Trump is likely to do a lot of bad things: Deport millions of people. But perhaps my biggest worry is about the effect he might have on the system itself: Time and again, he has broken the most basic norms of democratic politics. And time and again, he has threatened to overstep the bounds of his constitutional authority. If he does half of what he said he would, he will do permanent damage to American democracy—and by extension, to democracy across the globe
