He is everything he claims to hate. He rails against prejudice, but repeatedly stereotypes midwesterners, Texans, the lower class, academics, Republicans, and Christians as evil and stupid. He criticizes academia as elitist, but complains that his former colleagues didn't recognize and acknowledge his genius. How often does he remind us that he had three articles and a book contract? Finally, he empathizes with the 99%, but works at a private New York City school that undoubtedly caters to the 1%. This blog reminds me of that saying: "If you meet a jerk in the morning, you met a jerk in the morning. If you meet jerks all day, then you're the jerk." I recommend to him the following article: http://aeon.co/magazine/being-human/if-youre-surrounded-by-idiots-guess-whos-the-jerk/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
