Charlie Munger seems like an insufferable asshole. I find it creepy a 97 year old wants to control the lives of 4,500 22-24 year old people, every year, for man

  He is giving the money, with conditions, and he is a 97yo, who at that age might have/might have not lost his mind. The issue is that it is the university's administration that they are accepting those conditions. They shouldn't. They are building something that looks dystopian, out of a Judge Dred movie. The administration should say: no thanks. There are much better ways to deal with density without having to build such a compromised building. The, no window in classrooms, is a very American thing. I have never seen a windowless classroom outside the US. In this case it is dorm rooms.

    > The, no window in classrooms, is a very American thing. Also offices. Not something you see often in Europe (not impossible, maybe, but very rare).

    It's ridiculous to use age in this way.

  How is this different than any other billionaire? Perhaps allowing un-elected people to hoard and control such vast resources is simply incompatible with a democratic society... Why is Bezos allowed to squash a tax to address homelessness? Why do Bill and Melinda gates dictate health policy for millions of people? And so on...

  To the best of my information, the use of that dorm is optional, there are other dorms with different prices and different drawbacks. The idea of "control" there seems completely absurd. Also that «for sport» applied to the conditions for participation is absurd: one only participates to projects one approves.
