The following is a conversation with Ryan Schiller, creator of Liebrecht's, an anonymous discussion

feed for college communities starting at first with Yale, then the Ivy Leagues, and now adding

Stanford and MIT. Their mission is to give students a place to explore ideas and issues in a positive

way, but with much more personal and intellectual freedom than has defined college campuses in

recent history. I think this is a very difficult but worthy project. Quick thank you to our sponsors.

As a side note, let me say that Ryan is a young entrepreneur and genuine human being who

quickly won me over. He's inspiring in many ways, both in the struggle he had to overcome in

his personal life, but also in the fact that he did not know how to code, but saw a problem in

this world in his community that he cared about, and for that he learned to code and built the

solution in the best way he knew how. That's an important reminder for us humans. Let us not

only complain about the problems in the world. Let us fix them. I also have to say that there's

passion and Ryan's eyes for really wanting to make a difference in the world. His story,

his effort gives me hope for the future. There is hate in this world, but I believe there's

much more love, and I believe it's possible to build online platforms that connect us through

our common humanity as we explore difficult, personal, even painful ideas together.
