this is such a funny grift. hope ceos are torturing themselves over whether the random noise interpreters will like them. imagine an exec staring in the mirror repeating a line over and over to develop the right intonation to fool ai
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I think it’s a bit rude to try to explain the concept of reputation. the only other content in what you’re saying seems to amount to “it’s not a noisy signal of workplace ability,” which (a) is only a fraction of the social power these degree stamps hold (b) is not true (c) apparently is supported by the summoning of a bell curve, the holy symbol of naive applications of statistics to concepts of ability
(EDIT: I apologize for being prickly, I’m not on much sleep so I hope you can cut me some slack on that)
well, I am one of those researchers at a top institution. all I can say is that I do not think the people at such places are actually on a different level than those at your more general R1. who goes where has a lot more to do with social clubs and research tastes than anything else.
I’m also a little puzzled because you write about tuition write offs (which I benefited from as well) but those are only really relevant to undergrads, who I think it would be questionable to describe as often being researchers.
he’s clearly still convinced that if you could just purge the degenerates you’d get a utopia. but his post is a nice illustration of how if that actually happens they’ll just keep inventing new ways to classify people as degenerate. fascists need, at all times, a face to stamp on
idk who this guy is, anyone feel like giving a primer?
because of course this complete dipshit isn’t good at anything, he managed to google for this without uncovering the most basic facts about it:

Testosterone (T) therapy is routinely prescribed in adolescent males with constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) or hypogonadism.
literally the opposite of what he thinks is true: hrt is trivially accessible, you just need a doctor to eyeball you and determine you’re not bro enough. BUT, only if you’re cis.
another fun fact along these lines: in the UK, you can get hrt over the counter, but only if you’re an old cis woman
