re: #364 goddamnedfrank

It’s really frustrating right. I went balls out doing the research for and completing my M.S. thesis, it was a trying, difficult slog to get through. No goddamned “think tank” paid me to do it, and while I sometimes I think it’s shit it’s at least unique, fairly interesting shit.

My opinion of Harvard has taken a huge hit here.

Me too. Reading between the lines, this whole thing looks like a sham. Richwine was supported by AEI while he was at Harvard, and produces a crappy thesis that supports AEI’s agenda.

Richwine gets a cushy PhD. project where he can phone it in. After graduation, Richwine has a credential that can be used to support the pretensions of RW think tanks. The profs gets some easy grant funding from AEI.

1-2 fellow traveler profs at Harvard are all it takes for this to go through.
