So...
I love the idea.
I love the research body.
I love a lot of the faculty.
I love the energy.
Like I love it all.
I think the administration suffers from the same problems as any institutional, any leadership of an institution that is large, which is that they've become risk averse.
Like you mentioned, they care about PR.
The only ways to,
get their attention or change their minds about anything or to threaten the reputation of the institute or to have a lot of money.
That's the only way to have power at the institute.
Yeah, I don't think they have a lot of integrity or believe in ideas or even have a lot of connection to the research body and like the people who are really, because it's so weird.
You have this amazing research body of people pushing the boundaries of things who aren't afraid to like, there's the hacker culture,
And then you have the administration and they're really like protect the institution at all costs.
Complete disconnect.
I think it grew over time is what I've heard.
I mean, I've been there for 11 years now.
I don't know if it's gotten worse during my time, but I've heard from people who've been there longer that it didn't, like, MIT didn't used to have a general counsel's office.
They didn't used to have all this corporate stuff.
And then they had to create it as they got bigger and in the era where such things are, I guess, deemed necessary.
