  • How Did Xi Jinping’s Daughter Get Into Harvard?

    Harvard’s seeks to ‘acquire’ an inventory of future leaders. Any criteria that might produce a future leader is sufficient. That’s the selection process in an nutshell. And that is the reason for their market leadership.

    Harvard and Yale were originally THEOLOGICAL institutions producing talent for the clergy that performed society’s managerial functions – and by and large they have retained that position but in secular verse (or at least until the 1960’s when postmodern pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, and outright lying were introduced as the next ‘cult’.)

  • 1) The data says this: putting women on a board is affordable virtue signaling.

    1) The data says this: putting women on a board is affordable virtue signaling. Women CEO’s exist only because shareholders and board members virtue signal because the company is in decline. Any exceptions other than female signal goods, are extreme outliers. Just True. Why?…

  • by James Santagata Google was / is a one-trick pony, search — but it is a god-d

    by James Santagata Google was / is a one-trick pony, search — but it is a god-damn good fucking pony at that!! It was basically developed by having Michael Moritz trick his earlier investment, Yahoo! to outsource a $100M USD deal to let Google do the search. The NSA / CIA / Qtel, kicked in the start up money and then as Yahoo abandoned search and tried to be a Portal and then a Vortal, Google ripped off the GoTo.com / Overture patent (key word buys / auction related to click throughs), bought DoubleClick and rebuilt it, and stumble onto Applied Semantics key acquisiton. Everything since all acquired. Overture patent stolen, Double click, Applied Semantics, Keyhole (Google Earth), Android, Youtube, etc. all the internal projects – DOA. Orkut for social networks, Google video, Google check out, etc. etc. oh, Google Wave.

  • Hard to argue with the data that higher ed sorts, and nothing of it is retained,

    Hard to argue with the data that higher ed sorts, and nothing of it is retained, and outside of STEM has done little more than replace the church’s theological dogma of frozen capital with a pseudoscientific dogma of the opposite. I mean you were on the bow wave of demarcation…

    A radical idea: Economist Bryan Caplan says higher ed is a waste of time & money. I don’t agree, but U’s should think more about what we provide in exchange for $250K. (Includes a mention of my lectures.) https://t.co/cV8dySNaUJ via @chronicle

  • If A White Person Prefers Hiring People From The Middle East Since He Has Better Experience With People From There, Is He Racist? What If His Preference Is For People From Sub-saharan Africa? Or People From Europe?

    If anyone makes any decision by any criteria other than their work history, that person is a racist, classist, cultureist, ageist, genderist.

    yet work historise are marginally indifferent, and prediction of past behavior is almost always false, and the single most important factor determiing success is cultural fit among the employees, and employees must generally be from the same class as the customers that they serve – or just below them.

    Ergo. It’s all just just anti-white pseudoscience – nonsense invented by the postmodernists to destroy western civilization and turn it into another underclass ghetto like the middle east, brazil, and india.

  • What Do You Think About The Future Of “industrial And Network Economics” Master Program?

    I have a very simple approach to education and I recommend it to everyone.

    Study any STEM (physical science, technology, engineering, economics, and mathematics) that you can manage. It doesn’t matter if you major or minor in it. Take whatever math you must to get through it.

    Engineering is almost never a bad degree. Tech is rewarding at present. Economics will always be rewarding. (Not that in the USA economics is a technical discipline, but in europe and eastern europe it just means ‘business’, and is nonsense.) Physical science and mathematics are only valuable if you want those careers, OR it’s easy for you. THese degrees ‘certify you’ as ‘smart’.

    Take accounting 1 and 2. Take the dumbest finance course you can find. And only one. Take micro and macro economics. Take a business law course. One course is all you will need. Try to take an economic history of the world – it should be two classes. If you can manage two semesters of classical philosophy, or the philosophy of science then you’re done.

    It’s horrible but what I’m recommending is literally remedial education since as far as I know all but engineering can be taught in high school and should be since our emphasis on science and mathematics is overblown compared to our emphasis on economics, accounting, law, and finance – which people will endure every day. And those people that want geeky professions (the hard sciences, mathmatics, economics and statistics) will go for them anyway.

    Take the minimum classes you need to graduate with that experience

    For everything else just read anything but fiction. lol.

    WHY? It is very difficult to see the future right now because we are at an inflection point that happens only during periods of great (and often catastrophic change). There will be vast alterations of the workforce on scales we have not seen since the shift from agrarianism from 1890 to 1930. So any particular career is something I have a hard time judging.

    Right now? Learn javascript and make six figures rapidly without any college. Live in a communal house with five friends, and save more than half of what you make for the first five to ten years. Do not get married until after that. Then you are set for life, and can stop worrying about careers and what not because your house will be paid for, and your total cost of living is below the poverty level if you want it to be, and everything you make, no matter how much, can be used for wahtever purpose you want.

    NEVER BUY VIRTUE SIGNALS.
