  • "A lot of the problems that universities have faced come from the fact that deans, provosts, and presidents just want to make trouble go away. And so if someone is yelling at them and making their life miserable, they'll do whatever it takes to get them to shut up," argues Steven Pinker.

    Why bother fixing Harvard.

      Because real, TRUE higher education matters to the economy and future of our nation. That is why Russia and China have ALWAYS tried to infiltrate our schools. It is obvious and known. And that is why we should bother to fix harvard.

      In a better world, a free market of universities would compete for the would-be Harvard students. But we don't have that. We have a cartel of universities, protected by the government.

    I love Stephen, however, he’s not the guy to suggest changes. He’s never run anything and is an intellectual fellow traveler. Listen to Eric Weinstein on his ideas. It’ll take a hard ass to change the institution. First, identify its areas of excellence. Protect that. Find its cancer (social sciences, or any other soft area). Starting defunding and firing. Start hiring conservative professors. Don’t lower standards, but be pro-active. Give the new leader 10 years fixed contract.

    Intelligentsia... Intellectual discourse in the US, is virtually dead. Cant be done anymore. Except by people who are experts at balancing the thin line. While lunatics are screaming and throwing things at them from all sides.

    Institutional neutrality is impossible. You can't be neutral on a moving train. University of Chicago can claim ignorance of this all it wants, but societies look to their leading institutions for guidance, whether they admit it or not. I respect Pinker but must disagree on this point. It's true that certain people will be upset that a statement is not "just right" like Goldilocks would want. But the institutions are actors in society. They have to act like them.

    I think when a person makes a decision to have long hair, but can't see the optics of their own poor self care, they shouldn't really have any weight placed on their opinion.

      You assume long hair is poor self care, but you're wrong. Keeping it from being an actual disaster is a lot of work. He probably spends more time self caring for his hair than your lazy ass.
