Филип Гринспан и его огнемёты

[birdwatcher]

There are some old people who think a career in science makes sense, including the people who attended the conference where Larry Summers was hoist by his own petard. Basically these functionaries in university bureaucracies are saying "If young women were really smart, they'd be just like me." Indeed, that might have been true in the 1970s when these folks chose their undergraduate major. What has escaped their notice, however, are the enormous returns to high IQ and ability that have arisen in many occupations since the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Update: "Most people go to work primarily in order to earn a paycheck." Из моего журнала списал!

Update 2: В следующий раз пойду в emergency medicine.
