Sola Technologica 

Sola technologica is a term Adam coined as a playful but pointed critique of an overreliance on technology alone to solve problems—evoking the theological phrase sola scriptura (by scripture alone).

Adam uses sola technologica to warn against techno-utopianism. Technology is powerful, but it must be guided by people-centered leadership, thoughtful strategy, and systems thinking—or it risks becoming hollow, or even harmful.
“The doctrine of sola technologica has never contained the full truth. Of course we need technical experts; there is absolutely no debate on that. However, without other, equally critical elements—strategy, data stewardship, repeatable and scalable processes, financial stewardship, and, perhaps the most important component, soft (i.e., people) skills—the summa technologica remains woefully incomplete.”

michigan technological university 

An engineering school located in a small town in the U.P. Houghton, Michigan. If you think you’ll have free time, think again. Because of the massive workload, students resolve to drinking in mass quantities to cope. The student board thought introducing broomball and Winter Carnival would solve the issue, but tech students see it as an excuse for getting hammered before playing in the snow that doesn’t melt until April. When you do have free time, you go to brockway mountain for the hundredth time if you don’t ski or snowboard. You’re lucky if you join the husky pep band, you get to let out your angst through singing inappropriate songs at sporting events and wearing something you found at the dump on your head.

Michigan Technological University is not a place for everybody

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
