Strange to see a man go to war against academics just to prove how common it is for the members of his class to steal from others, just so his wife won’t feel guilty/singled out.
I think it’s the betrayal he feels from the wider academic class too. In some corners of academia the kinds of paraphrasing stuff that’s been coming out is an open secret. It’s kinda fucked up to crucify one person for doing something you know is happening quite commonly.
Two people. Two people have been crucified and he supplied the nails, hammer, and 10 foot cross for the first one.
Notable alumni include Lex Luther, Tony Stark and Gordon Freeman. Not the kind of people I’d make enemies of .
This has to stop. Another infantile billionaire tantrum putting the world at risk. Some of these people are working on important shit, many times more important than running ponzis and insider trading.
I’d like to see a coordinated response from academia some how.
