...WASP-ish scourge is down, it’s certainly not out. It’s our responsibility to ensure that those of our classmates who still actually believe that being educated means reading Shakespeare see the error of their ways. Those who argue that studying Western Civilization is somehow more valuable than taking Literature and Arts C-42, “Constructing the Samurai” need our help...
...feel overestimated. I feel that my point is being proved over and over again, by the fact that there's a lot of people that go to see my plays and sit there evidently enjoying them. It is self-evidently a contradiction to call those plays somehow for an elite or highbrow intellectual minority. The experience itself seems to me a complete refutation of that.

"The market for books about science and philosophy on the level on which I deal with things is a best-seller market," he says, pointing to authors...
...However, the very suggestion that sports are somehow above vice is flawed. It seems odd that many sports fans can’t seem to accept PEDs, but are perfectly willing to turn a blind eye to the corrupting influence of gambling, collegiate athletics scandals, the business-first nature of most professional franchises, and the myriad of other problems that plague sports. Sports are not and have never been pure. Even regarding Bonds’ “asterisked” home-run record, too many baseball fans forget that the old home run king himself admitted to using PEDs...
