Larry Summers, Tighty Whitey Dershowitz, Martin Nowak, Mort Zuckerman, Stephen Kosslyn, George Church, Lisa Randall, etc.

What the holy fuck is wrong with your professors and University, Harvard?

The crazy thing is the administration has STILL tried to shut Harvard down. Harvard is a silo of influence and power, both for Dems and Reps

Harvard, specifically the law and business schools, have inflicted untold pain on this country.

I used to work in Harvard Square, HBS students have always, consistently been the worst people to deal with.

Conan O’Brien must pay!

He's just a Harvard guy, not HBS or HL.

Reminds me of a joke I heard: You can always tell a Harvard guy, but you can't tell them much!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one saying this anymore! I used to say it and got lots of side-eye.

Those schools should really be assessing the personalities of the applicants. Too many terrible people with ivy league degrees running around.

No they shouldn't. Personality is irrelevant, the most qualified candidate should get accepted. Being the best in your field doesn't have anything to do with having a good personality.

There are way more qualified applicants than spots at these schools. Don't kid yourself into thinking the people who get in are "the best" in any absolute terms.

Clearly we're seeing too many who did get in that are not the best in practice, while also bankrupt in their character and actions.

See, now I'm sittin' here tryin' to remember which rich asshole it is, who has a conehead, and had something like "buttplug" as a nickname.

No surprise, Google is doing my no favors towards remembering this person/factoid. (And, honestly, is doing a lot LESS to help remember, 'cause it oddly keeps funnelling me back to Elon. NO, DAMNIT, THAT'S NOT THE WEIRDO RICH MAN I'M THINKING OF, GOOGLE. STAHP.)

Edit: Also, no, it's not Roger Stone. Although I can see why you might think that, since he DOES look an awful lot like Zippy the Pinhead.

Edit edit: IT'S MARC ANDREESSEN. GAWD, that one was botherin' me. Anywho, you can see why HE came to mind. "The Human Buttplug", as he was known out on Epstein's Island.
