The link title's more than a little misleading: the material is supposedly "breathable," "human," and "skin-like". (Adding a hyphen to make it "human-skin-like," which I assume is what was intended, isn't much better). From that descr

Yeah, the casual suggestion that MIT should try to badly damage the careers of most of its faculty (presumably causing them to leave) suggests that he hasn't thought about this problem very long or talked about it with many people. As much

At least in the US, a bow tie often means, "young republican / political conservative," although I guess the article indirectly makes the case that wearing a bow tie can also mean, "I like to talk about and defend bow ties." So, be aware t
