MIT vs. NASA

Keith Yost does not like NASA:

A look at a list of his articles indicates he doesn't like much else
either: http://tech.mit.edu/author/Keith+Yost/
Does anyone else smell a ChiCom "Red Wiggler" working toward the
foundation of People's Democratic Slave Labor Helium 3 Mines on the Moon?
Maybe a little capitalism in the form of itching powder "liberally"
applied to the inside of his hemp underwear is needed to give this
Maoist Moon-Man a new perspective on where his publicly-funded education
came from.
I for one have no time for the Com-Symp that bites the hand that feeds
it at the school cafeteria.

Um,

Sorry Pat, but I believe 'The Institute' is privately funded.
It has Massachusetts in the name, but name only.

The public version of this is the Engineering College at the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst MA, or South Boston
(Southie)....

But as for factual correctness, you're living up to the Beck tradition
so your are being true to the Alma Mater I suppose...

PS: Given Youst's editorial slant he better belongs at Harvard divinity
not MIT. MIT has far too inglorious of a past in weapons development
to say he's doing anything but throwing stones from a glass house.

Reading his articles, it's hard to pin down exactly where he stands
politically (he says he's conservative), except that he's very ****ed
off about things in general, and extremely ****ed off about some things
in particular:

Since we now live in the "Era Of Bad Feelings" he fits right in with the
timbre of the times.
His brief sojourn in Dubai, followed by turning on the company that
offered him a job there, betokens great things for his business futu

That's really funny to read, particularly this part (emphasis mine):

"What I learned is that burning out isn’t just about work load, it’s
about work load being greater than the motivation to do work. It was
relatively easy to drag myself to classes when I thought I was working
for my own betterment. It was hard to sit at a laptop and crank out
slides _when all I seemed to be accomplishing was the transfer of wealth
from my client to my company._(1)

I’m a free marketeer. I believe that voluntary exchange is not just a
good method of incentivizing people to provide their labor and talents
to society, but a robust moral system — goods and services represent
tangible benefit to people, market prices represent the true value of
goods in society, and wages represent the value that a worker provides
to others. Absent negative externalities or monopoly effects, _a man
receives from the free market what he gives to it, his material worth is
a running tally of the net benefit that he has provided to his fellow
man._ (2) A high income is not only justified, but there is nobility to it.

_My moral system is organized around a utilitarian principle of greatest
good for the greatest number_ (3) — that which adds value cannot be
wrong. It did not bother me therefore when I was handed consulting
reports that had been stolen from our competitors. If the information in
those reports would help us improve our client, then who could say we
were doing wrong? Like downloading MP3s, it was a victimless crime."

1.) Capitalist
2.) Commie
3.) Way Commie :-D

Brilliant! I can't wait until this guy's child turns him in to state
authorities for thought-crime committed while having a nightmare and shouting
political incorrectness out loud in his sleep. And he'll be greatful that his
child turned him in and no doubt will be looking forward to that 'corrective'
re-education. It's for the children's sake after all...
