You find a lot of mechanical strivers at the country’s top universities but also some of the greatest thinkers in that age bracket. Almost every really exceptional mind is going to pick Harvard over say Davidson if given the choice.

As a dark skinned photographer I always am annoyed by the take that “white people who designed cameras made them take better photos of white people.” No, that’s not what is happening. The fact is that you get a lot less light from a dark fa

I don’t think these guys have enough money to make it as a university. Where’s their anchor billionaire? Are they doing this Lean Startup style?

This video is really weird because usually a launch video that has all the theatrics of a Hollywood production (all white launch room with dramatic lighting and shallow depth of field cinematography) would usually be done by trust-fund star
