First time in history that Yalie has been slow to criticize Harvard







First time in history that Yalie has
been slow to criticize Harvard

First time in history that Yalie has
been slow to criticize Harvard
03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Driving down to Manhattan on Friday we made the obligatory stops in Hartford (Rein's NY-Style Deli at Exit 65 on I-84 and the Wadsworth Atheneum art museum) and picked up the local newspaper.  One of the lead local stories..  "Students Protest On Yale Campus--Object To Silence By President Levin":

"More than 100 Yale graduate student teachers marched to the university president's office Thursday to protest the university's treatment of women and minorities.

"Even after the graduate students were told that President Richard Levin was not in his office, they remained in the building and speakers took the floor to air their grievances.

"The march, ... was prompted, they said, by Levin's failure to join other university leaders who have denounced remarks made by Harvard University President Lawrence Summers at a conference last month."

Wouldn't it be nice to have a job where one's most important responsibility was to throw rocks at someone in an unrelated organization in another state?  Or a job where you got to spend all afternoon hanging out with friends complaining about the top manager of your organization not spending enough of his time complaining?  Thanks to the magic of generous donors, a tuition price-fixing cartel among the Ivies, and the IRS not taxing the $billions in wealth accumulated by the Ivies, all of this is indeed possible!

A recent New Yorker magazine story on Egypt (full text online from link) contains the following passage:

Ibrahim taught Arabic literature at Berkeley in 1998, an experience that evidently did not suit him. “I despised the total individualism, the control of multinationals, the manipulation of the media over the ordinary person, the values of life, just living to eat, drink, fuck, have a car, and that’s all,” he said. “There are no moral values, no broad-minded attitudes toward life in general or a sense of what is happening in the world, no sense of the role America is playing in trying to control the resources of the world.” Perhaps what irked him most, he said, was “the genuine stupidity of the normal American citizen. He is ignorant. He doesn’t know what his own country is doing in the world. The U.S. is following the same policy of racism as the Nazis. Do I really have to explain something to you that is so well known everywhere?”

Ibrahim's "genuine stupidity" observation certainly adds some weight to the Bell Curve thesis (see below).  But suffering through the horrible weather here in Boston as I do mostly it cheers me to find out that there is anyone who manages to resist the lures of California.

[The very last part of the article is also worth reading, about an Egyptian kid who believes himself involved in a "clash of civilizations" where the West is trying to destroy Islam.  A big fan of September 11th and Al-Qaeda, he is confident that Islam will destroy the West first, which seems odd.  The belief system holds simultaneously that (a) the U.S. is completely immoral, (b) the U.S. is involved in a kill-or-be-killed war to the death with Muslims, and (c) the U.S. won't simply unload its warehouses full of nuclear weapons on the heads of Egyptians, et al.  If the U.S. were truly as evil as these guys say, W. and Co. would just use our leftover nukes to kill all the people in every country where Al-Qaeda recruits and then come back a few years later to pump out the oil.  And yet the fact that they are still alive and well in Cairo would seem to demonstrate that the U.S. is not completely immoral.  You would think that, at a minimum, the U.S. and W. would get credit from "the Arab Street" for the continued existence of "the Arab Street."]
