...Rather, my vexation is with the vast majority of Harvard students who do not even take the time to peruse the MIT course catalog and do not pursue academic interests beyond the gates of Harvard. For science and engineering concentrators this is all but unforgivable. Nobel laureates, inventors, scientists and engineers of all stripes are actively disseminating cutting-edge knowledge to all who will listen just blocks away, and almost everyone here seems to ignore it.

Having spent the vast majority of my three months in Shanghai, I’m cautious to make a generalization that blankets the entire country, but I think it’s safe to say that youth rebellion as a social inevitability doesn’t have as much weight in China...
