Checking In With The "Smart" People At Harvard

Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 18 Sep, 2021 | Francis Menton

Mental gymnastics is not even an Olympic sport yet, but the “smart” people are practicing anyway.

Some very intelligent people are at the same time horribly wrong in their world view. But they have had years of thought and study to obtain and back up that wrong thinking.

[HighSierra5]

Some of the massive fires in northern California were caused by a “professor “. You know. One of those fart smell...er I mean smart fellers.

[Da Coyote]

A quick look at what’s happening in their law and a good many of their lib arts departments should tell all.

[alloysteel]

Many of these very same “smart” people also have the presumption that you are not truly “smart” unless you adopt the progressive attitudes, and move in lockstep with them as they change, sometimes swiftly and at great divergence with the previous rationalizations. (Orwellian doublethink!)

One need not go to Harvard to be truly intelligent, and in fact the indoctrination they undergo there is a DELIBERATE dumbing down of what would otherwise be a very high degree of creativity and logical thinking.

It would be great mischief indeed if a truly intelligent person made the mistake of enrolling in Harvard, or for that matter, the vast majority of institutions of “higher” learning here in the US.

Climate change is real, man made climate change is a fraud.

[Candor7]

Anyone who attends Harvard these days is not "Smart."

Anyone who attend Harvard these days is indoctrinated.

Anyone who attends Harvard these days is also a fool for paying many tens of thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated, instead of freely educated.

in other words, thoise who attend Harvard these days are slowly and precisely emotionally enslaved to American Marxist ideology.

Mark Levin reveals how all of this is happening in his new , well researched book, it has over 400 footnotes, " American Marxism."

There are few places of genuine learning and free enquiry these days. Hillsdale College is one.

[Libloather]

No books or paper allowed? Heck, I could go there.

[I want the USA back]

Weather varies. The problem is that stupid humans think that weather should be steady, predictable, and without extremes. Mother Nature disagrees. Humans refuse to believe that there can be extremes and do not prepare for the extremes. When the extreme weather happens, as it always does, humans act as if it’s a complete surprise.

I worked for decades at Harvard Medical School's largest teaching hospital. Each June all the students,physicians and surgeons moved up one step on the career ladder...student to intern,intern to junior resident,junior resident to senior resident,etc. The new interns were always the top graduates of the world's top medical schools...including Harvard Medical School.

We always laughed at how easy it was to pick out the Harvard grads from graduates of other schools because they were the ones who could talk to you about the uvula for six hours (non-stop!) but were clueless if you handed them a pop up umbrella.

[EEGator]

It’s still good for an MBA or it’s medical school.

[Flavious_Maximus]

When you realize that “Harvard” is the most preeminent hard core atheist institution in the world, then you understand why the faculty are so self absorbed.

They don’t believe in God, but will believe in everything else. For them, power and control of the little people is all that matters. They fear individualism.

These “professors” are the modern day Hebrews who built the golden calf after the exodus.

[cgbg]

Harvard was founded as a seminary by Puritans in 1636.

Nothing has changed—it is still run by fanatical “believers” ready to burn any witches.

Today they worship the Woke Pantheon (which includes the Goddess of Climate Change).

Heretics shall be hunted down and publicly shamed!

[Macoozie]

“Smart” as compared to what?

Some folks are very quick to grasp some things. Like Xiaoma and other language freaks, they can pick up a conversational level of a language in a few hours.
Some are exceedingly well read and are familiar with broad, cross discipline ideas and concepts. Folks like VDH, Pat Buchanan, Patton, and recent discovery Malice come to mind.

Some like folks at distinguished institutions of higher learning are locked inside closed or highly restricted feedback loops that simply justify what they previously learned and now push out onto the next group of young minds.

Yes but to gain admission, you have to be an American Marxist
in your style of life. If you are ex military who does not support trangenderism, you do not get in.So all of your manifestation, engagement has to be solidly American Marxist.

All of the ivy Leagues are like this. If you want a decent education you need to find a place that still teaches History properly, and celebrates the History of Western civilization and its accomplishments, while promoting a diversity of both conservative and liberal views.

Progressive education has only one goal....to indoctrinate via emotional marks of existence, and the requirement to bear witness to that or be cancelled.MArxism buoyed by Critical Theory and the idea of revolutionaly destruction.

You really need to think about it. We had second year law students in the streets of New York committing arson about a year and a half ago.

Progressive education is UnAmerican, treasonous and unpatriotic, not worth a plug nickle. I spit on their shadows and fart in their general direction.

[EEGator]

Both of those programs aren’t undergraduate, and I know multiple conservative, prior military officers with Ivy League degrees.(MBA not MD)
They went a decade or so ago, so maybe things have changed.

THEY HAVE TO KNOW YOUR WORLD ......iTS NOT ABOUT “ACCOMPLISHMENT.”

MARXIST TRAP 2

“How well a person knows you should take priority over level of seniority or HBS alumni status.”

THEY WANT TO KNOW YOUR POLITCAL ORIENTATION

–Recommendations (2)

You will need to have two recommendations submitted online by the application deadlines.

Recommenders will be asked to fill out a personal qualities and skills grid and answer our two additional questions (see below).

It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all recommendations are submitted online by the deadline date for the round in which the applicant is applying.

Use your best judgment on who you decide to ask - there is no set formula for who should be your recommenders. We know it is not always possible to have a direct supervisor write your recommendation – we would not want you to jeopardize your current position for the application process. Look at the questions we are asking recommenders to complete. Find people who know you well enough to answer them. This can be a former supervisor, a colleague, someone you collaborate on an activity outside of work. How well a person knows you should take priority over level of seniority or HBS alumni status.

Recommender Questions
Recommendations must be completed online. The recommendation form includes the following questions, along with other types of questions:

How do the candidate’s performance, potential, background, or personal qualities compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples. (300 words)

During the late 70s, many towns along the Mosel River were flooded, due to a "100 year flood."

Some 40 years later, they're enduring another "100 year flood." What gives?

100 years ain't what it used to be ... inflation has reduced the value of 100 years to just 40 ...
