...science and reason, offers a course in palmistry, proves it. MIT needs some brand of irrationality to counter and assuage its otherwise hyper-ultra-rational pursuits.

The modern world sneers at the concept of fatalism and propounds and increases individual agency, but we still want to be told our futures. We still want to believe...
