-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I've been thinking about this hiring and have to admit I've been going back and forth about it.
I can see how Tech could lose credibility with this move (especially in academia), but I can also see how nice it is to get a high profile individual teaching at Tech -- even if his political affiliation and methods I might disagree with. It's a shame that he is only doing a lecture for a class of 15 -- I guess even in hyperconservative country he is afraid of some sort of backlash if he opened it up to a larger crowd. --------------------  |
