(Mods, please move this to a better fitting place if possible, or delete if you think too contentious)
Fellow Forteans – I ran across this a few days ago and wished to share it with you. It is the single best statement about un-PC behavior I have ever read. What it is advocating against – a university making social and political action the highest goal – is the reason why, 35 years after it was written, I decided against a university academic career. (Well, that and a 75% pay cut. ) Running across this, decades after I had made similar assessments and decisions, oddly enough, made me feel reassured I had made the correct decision.

Next lifetime, I AM going to get a Ph.D in the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Chicago. And then move back to some Nordic country. Just wait and see!
