It allows the scions of the rich and powerful to get to know each other before they get scattered around the globe to wreak regional miseries upon the rest of us, like LinkedIn but interpersonal and vastly more cursed.
Oh wait you asked for the good part.
Conan o brien is pretty funny
tom morello is pretty cool i guess
WEB Du Bois
Covid vaccine?
This got me into researching Jonas Salk (the inventor of the polio vaccine).
I know he didn't want to patent it, but apparently his employer attempted to (Pittsburgh school of Medicine) and the patent attorney they retained shot it down.
Nothing that couldn't have been done better by public institutions had they had the same funding. Most of the big research they get to claim is because they already have shit tons of money to buy the best newest equipment and pay for 10+ postdocs per lab. Even then they don't actually pay the grad students or postdocs (who do all the research labor) all that different compared to public universities.
yeah I was going to say plenty of hard science has come out of them but you're exactly right. They also get to choose from the very best of applicants due to their reputation & exclusivity, but that also isn't inherent to the ivy league as private institutions.
Case and point, UC Berkeley
If you posed this question to a brick wall, you’d get the correct answer.
Stanford needs to be abolished. Many people are saying this.
That's not an Ivy League, but yes.
"new ivy" bullshit that duke and vanderbilt like to wave around
Poaching Einstein and Gödel and others when germany started its genocide against Jewish people was at least neutral. Despite the motivation being entirely self-interested
Ivy League? Wasn't that part of the original Pokemon anime?
Well there's also been a bunch of scientific fraud so that's a positive, right?
I think my face has been stuck like that for the last couple years
the wind changed
Dark academia aesthetic
Picture I found in google from the Los Angeles review
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?
Chemistry
Tom Lehrer wrote some funny songs?
He was never funny.
Rage Against The Machine? lol
Ivy league style is pretty sharp.
I'm applying to teach at Yale. The rejection letter will be good for a lot of students
