Ah, Steven Pinker… a true battlewagon of Empire Academia appears on the scene. He’s good, very good. I had to take notes and look up a couple of words to fully process what he was saying. Kudo’s to him, but then again he is after all a high ranked professor who probably deserves his rank. Even knowing that I would still engage the man in conversation or debate, but not in a comment block. I would need to write an essay of comperable length to do justice to the thought that condensed in my mind in response to his very solid defense of Harvard.
The theme of that essay would be to illuminate a causal force driving the current situation that I have never seen any member of Empire Academia address, the reason for the conflict and the reason that conflict will continue to the detriment of everyone. As a teaser extract? The thought is best described blending the structural concepts of object oriented programming into an examination of social psychology considered in the light of a couple of concepts from the domain of control engineering (usually part of a EE degree). Reality is a complicated thing, the compartmentalized nature of the Empire seems to leave them blind to thoughts that must exist where the shadows of the various disciplines cross.
By way of an example drawn from that thought? Consider the nuanced insult of this statement: they must think we are all total idiot fools expecting us TO SALUTE the rank seen on an enemy’s collar.
