- So it might have cost him $5,000 to do it if he didn’t already have total immunity to do whatever the hell he wants?
- Response for the two options this may be.
  Poe Principle: Don't do this. Don't give them ideas, because they'll take your idea and run with it. The shitheads on the other side don't just believe in this crap, but they WANT to believe in this crap, because they are shitheads.
  True Believer: Your god is a hateful god and not the God of Christianity. Buzz off now.
- Your bronze age myths are not relevant to governance.
Good. None of the people attending this school are good for the world.
- There are like 79 Nobel prize winning alumni, with 11 of those being peace prizes. Something tells me that "none" is a pretty low estimate for "good for the world".

  Harvard produces capitalist asswipes like Zuckerberg who destroy the world searching for endless profits.
