The fact that Harvard bent over for a “donation” is just pathetic. They have a $50bn endowment. What is even the point of having that much money if not to be uncompromising on academic freedom?
I dunno if you’ve heard this, but under capitalism, more > less. And they got 1% more!
Harvard has been unethical in many cases in the name of growing their endowment. As if they were a corporation beholden to shareholders. Harvard Has a Brand Problem. Here’s How to Fix It.
No college has real prestige.
They’re all just political book clubs.

The poison of personal data collection is too great for any company with any amount of tech to ignore. Profit on data sales must have crazy high margins or it must be so easy to do that you might as well. We needed regulations on this 20 years ago. Now who knows how many dark hats know you fucked Shelley in the back of your 2020 Subaru. It should have never gotten here in the first place. Now it will take some C Suite with way too much power and not a shred of responsibility to have his vile conversation on how poor people should die and women are objects for this to get 1/3rd of the regulation it should have.
That’s all well and good, but if you think that Facebook isn’t mirroring all data from the Fediverse, and any other network it can touch, and then correlating what it can back to whatever individual/digital/personal profiles it can, you’d be mistaken.
The only solution here is a political one with significant judicial punishment as the enforcement mechanism. FYI I’m also including the guillotine in the list of nonviable solutions, as the problem is too large and geographically vast to behead our way out of it, even if it would be cathartic.
Can we have a little beheading as a treat?
I’m not opposed to the idea, and it it’s purely for catharsis I’d prefer a good gibbeting at the National Mall, repurposing the NYPD’s horses to aid with drawing and quartering them in Times Square, or… Well, basically anything that isn’t as clean and quick as a guillotine.
Nearly everyone has a shadow account if you know someone that uses it.
Academia should be investigated by a new division of special authorities
And what should the outcome be? No more higher education?
Hmm. Time to start another investigation.
Harvard: Science for sale!
Zuckerberg is literally Satan.
