In 2024, The American Lyceum produced and published several "Lyceum debates" on its website and YouTube channel. Lyceum president Tim Kane published numerous substack posts at WhyAmerica? A news aggregator using AI for determining logical fallacies and bias was introduced and is in the early stages of testing and sharing through a newsletter. Finally, with the support of a foundation grant received last year, Dr. Kane is in the final stages of preparing to publish a book, THE VALUE OF NOTHING, based on his behavioral economics research.-$86,396
