There’s a peculiar inconsistency in Mr. Kashuv’s wanting to attend Harvard in the first place. His public statements and articles indicate an awareness of the intellectual vacuity of the elite-university milieu. However, it appears this awareness was irrelevant when he had a chance at the Big Name.

Maybe he is learning that fortuitous teen celebrity is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Nonsense.

Most "selective" and "highly selective" university degrees are not coin of the realm, but the red "H" with "Ve•Ri•Tas" is most definitely worth it, in terms of cashing in.

If you get in (improbable, for almost all) - you should go.

"His public statements and articles indicate an awareness of the intellectual vacuity of the elite-university milieu. However, it appears this awareness was irrelevant when he had a chance at the Big Name."

It is unfortunate that Mr Kashuv's actions do not clearly show to all that not all animals in the rendering chutes of Harvard are equal to each other.

"In short, even the medieval Inquisition, with all its fabled cruelties and abuses, offered more nuance and empathy than our modern-day liberal overlords.

Though the stakes are not nearly as high—Kashuv has not been executed, only denied admission to an Ivy League university—the heretics of our day are treated more harshly than the heretics of yore."

It should be a considerable comfort to know that when you are destined to be publicly impaled as an example for the others, that the stakes are not nearly as high.
