That interview begins thus; "There's many fields of study you can get legitimate degrees in that are absolutely preposterous. Literally filled with nonsense, taught by nonsense people who live in these nonsense bubbles. And then they give these degrees and these people go out in the real world and they infect things; their ridiculousness infects certain, particularly tech industry businesses." I suspect this view will not be welcome among a large fraction of HN types. Trumped up accusations that the perpetrators are guilty of unethical research involving human subjects are deeply disturbing. Lysenko would be proud.
