...would you describe your consulting colleagues? Somewhat different from your philosophy classmates, I would guess. Businesspeople get a little bit of bad press, sometimes. There are a lot of normal and ethical people. But at the tip of the profession, the people who make it to a high level in élite consulting firms are, on the whole, nutty. They are driven beyond what is healthy and, at some level, quite unbalanced. At the firm I helped to found they went out and hired a group of psychotherapists.

Up to that point it's very easy to theorize; you don't have to make up your mind whether death is preferable to a life that offers nothing but mere existence.

...become a very brand-conscious society, and we have decided that in education - more than almost anything else - a big name tells us everything about quality. Guess what? At a lot of top research universities, professors are doing research, and often their focus is not on teaching. I'm a big skeptic about the allure of Ivy League schools. And I went to Brown as an undergrad, did a fellowship at Harvard, and taught writing at Dartmouth's business school. So I love those places, but I don't think you need to go to schools like that...
