question:
Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
In no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of "rubbers" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a "transgendered leftist activist ." 
It even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . 
It 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- "to some extent" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . 
It shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . 
It distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . 
Ted Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with "rubbers" is objectively stupid . 
Ted Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . 
And , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . 
But Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
Cruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . 
As the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : "Live the gimmick , brother ." 
Ted Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . 
On the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as "The Dumbest Man on the Internet ." 
Ted Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned "Democrats '" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . 
Ted Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . 
Reading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . 
Even if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . 
Cruz has mastered the useful gaffe . 
But once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . 
For one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . 
For instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . 
But it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . 
During Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . 
Cruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . 
Naturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . 
On that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like "rescission ," which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . 
But mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were "lured into bed with Obamacare" via the Leninist thinking that "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them ." 
She hugs Cruz and says , "I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . 
Cruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . 
Luckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! 
As it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . 
But if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . 
Ted Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . 
Never mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . 
Never mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . 
Given that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . 
Moreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on "a worldwide apology tour ." 
Then , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , "It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry . '" 
So the new front in the liberal propaganda war is a fact check website that checked facts Cruz admits are not literally true without any poetical ear for interpretation . 
Busting Ted Cruz for selective narrative and hanging massive public policy decisions on anecdotal evidence -LRB- the most reliable kind ! -RRB- 
You have to deal with Ted Cruz differently because he demands it , because his endless invocation of his scholarship and the sharp , nimble way he chooses to tell his own story signals that this is how deftly his brain operates . 
So when a Ted Cruz spokesman later walks back the candidate 's comment that Robert Dear might have been a "transgendered leftist activist" by insisting that the candidate was just commenting on the lack of available information , you have to take it with a huge grain of salt . 
Yes , the full context of Cruz 's statement is more openly speculative : .
answer:
Ted Cruz


question:
* * * France isn’t the first killjoy to quit the smartphone party. In 2015  the Canadian artist Garnet Hertz invented a cheeky device called “Phonesafe ” a masochistic lockbox designed to incarcerate smartphones for a set period of time. Hertz meant Phonesafe as a provocation  but the same idea quickly became a product. Today  you can buy similar  but mass-produced  containers on Amazon  and multi-phone lockers have become a mainstay in corporate offices and schools around the world. A McDonald’s in Singapore has even installed a locker designed to promote “family togetherness” and face-to-face conversation. If you attend a Guns n’ Roses concert or a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle  ushers will require you to lock your device in a neoprene pouch and take it into the show in that state.  The phone-locking pouch  made by a San Francisco company called Yondr   has a wide opening at the short end for inserting a smartphone. A magnetic locking mechanism  similar to those on anti-theft tags in retail stores  engages to hold it closed. After the show  this clasp is swiped across a counter-magnet  which releases the lock.  Yondr  is a surefire way to cut down on bootleg YouTube videos. In Wired  Alice Gregory recently took a tough look at the device. Gregory recounts her experience at a Chris Rock performance  where audience members waiting in the lobby had to forgo smartphone usage. The affair reduced them to “a roomful of jonesing fiends ” as she puts it. Ultimately  Gregory connects  Yondr  to a thorny question about civil liberties: the right of the people to keep and bear smartphones.
It’s an ironic conclusion  because  Yondr  is sold as a tool to provide freedom  rather than to take it away. To “Be Here Now ” as the company’s tagline puts it. It’s a promise to deliver presence—a tricky calling  to say the least. Presence has a long history in religion and philosophy  from Buddhist practices to the metaphysics of the 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger. Today  presence is most common in the various mindfulness trends that have overtaken individual and corporate life  in Silicon Valley in particular—collectively the critic R. John Williams has called them “technê-zen.” Cutting through the history and the rhetoric  it’s productive to think about presence in terms of attention. You’re present where you focus your attention—and you only have so much attention to pay. In the case of Chris Rock  he wants attention directed toward him  live on stage. Rock’s show might involve awkward improvisation or new material that he doesn't want circulated online. Teachers are less concerned about copyright than comedians are  but they still demand attention. I have tested Yondr’s effects on mind-wandering in classroom experiments with Dan Smilek of the University of Waterloo Vision and Attention Lab. Our research is based in part on the assumption that instructors want students to focus on the course materials  and not on Instagram  Facebook  or other distractions.  Yondr  can be a remarkably effective tool for enforcing digital abstinence in these contexts  thanks primarily to  its  portability. Rather than locking away devices inside lockers  or even inside a disused Catholic tabernacle  as I have done in a performance piece   Yondr  buffers the anxiety of being isolated from your device.
Given that the mere presence of one’s smartphone can reduce cognitive capacity   Yondr  offers a way to surf between the waves of a device’s presence and absence. You can hold it  but you can’t use it. This might be an especially important balance in classroom situations  where students see a teacher’s “phone shoebox” as an unwelcome imposition of authority. * * * Needless to say   Yondr  is still an imposition. And controlling attention requires more than just locking a device in a binge-breaking neoprene pouch. Joelle Renstrom has reported the results of her own  Yondr  experiment in a class at Boston University  where she had her 30 students lock away their devices over the course of a semester. At first  37 percent of the students found the policy annoying  but by the end of the term that figure had dropped to 14 percent. Those are promising  if tentative  results  but Renstrom’s anecdotal comments about the experiment may be more instructive than the data she collected. Renstrom describes her students’ initial experience of Yondr as “akin to caging a pet  a clear denial of freedom.” Moreover  she observes that some students left their cases unlocked as a sign of rebellion  even though they didn’t remove the phones from them. Rather than becoming “active resistors to technology ” as the scholars Christine Satchell and Paul Dourish call people who choose to ignore their devices   Yondr  users are ultimately the victims of technological disenfranchisement. When implemented as a mandatory smartphone prophylactic   Yondr  becomes a means of control  not of choice  let alone of presence.
Such top-down tactics might be enforced easily at live performances  as one of my research assistants observed firsthand at a Chris Rock show in Niagara Falls. However  as a daily ritual for high-school students  all-or-nothing digital abstinence enforced by an authority figure seems destined to backfire  possibly leading to rejection—or even worse  a legal complaint. In an attempt to tackle this disciplinary problem  I have been offering workshops to schoolteachers that riff on and revise the design Yondr originated. In the workshops  I provide a kit that allows students to make their own digital abstinence case  but with an obnoxiously loud Velcro enclosure rather than a silent  magnetic clasp. This semipermeable design—the Resistor Case  I call it—is intended to promote self-regulation  not authoritarian control. The Velcro acts as a gateway to conscience: It provides just enough resistance and noise to make its owner think twice before opening it. Michael I. Norton  Daniel Mochon  and Dan Ariely coined the “IKEA effect” to name the increase in value people assign to self-made products. With the Resistor Case  I’m counting on a similar effect  that students who fist construct and then choose to make use of their DIY phone lockers might be more compelled to use them. Of course  the kit will only work if the teacher provides a context for it that includes a discussion of responsible smartphone use. (The kit provides a series of cards to prompt this conversation.)
answer:
Yondr
