That insiders crap was terrible wasn’t it?

It’s histrionic and cliche. Was he twirling his moustaches while saying it?
Who talks like that? How are these morons even our evil elites?

I demand better dialogue from our evil elites! If they are running roughshod over us all, we should at least get higher quality shit than crap
reminiscent of the type of movie script I would scoff at as unrealistic.

Summers really was a pustule.

And don’t get me started on his even creepier side .

That shit is why I am a card carrying MeToo supporter. Fortunately, even at the worst school I worked at, I never came across this type of creep.

They exist even in academic science sadly (Walter Lewin, Geoff Marcy, Kanury Rao, Giridhar Madrass etc), but I have been fortunate enough to not come across them.

Thankfully, most academic scientists (in the natural sciences anyway) are pretty implicitly feminist in my experience. Dr Fauci or Francis Collins are closer to the norm than this type of ghastly person. Typically understated and that’s easier. I like my woke and feminist understated. The same way I feel gleeful when the right or centre is this much of a chestnut bts.

Economics is right leaning as a field..less reality based..it really is all of a piece. I remember thinking even back when he made those comments about women in science “But you don’t even work in a real science. You are a damn economist.”
