Genuine question. I was listening to shit about Facebook and made me think how much damage Harvard has done to the world just from that alone.

Yale discovered free energy, n body problem heuristics, and suppressor T cells. Cornell created progesterone based contraceptives, discovered free energy, developed the heimlich maneuver, and did research into 3d printed organs. Harvard developed the smallpox vaccine, anesthesia, appendectomies for appendicitis, EKGs, insulin, iron lungs, pap smears, human blood storage, and some other things.

So quite a bit.

free energy? Like the thermo/chemistry concept or the pseudoscience conspiracy theory?
