Quote from: TDoS on Feb 07, 2026, 06:10 PMCan't disagree with this meme. Oh...but Epstein wasn't a duck.

The analogy doesn't reference & compare Epstein, it references & compares Suicide.  I taught Analogies on the LSAT for The Princeton Review.  You would not have scored well.

Really? Well...an interesting factoid. And I doubt the Duck analogy is limited to just suicide. Never had any teachers or instructors from Princeton....I learned from Harvard grads. Lawyers, mathematicians, and a very particular resource geologist running an E&P.

His story on why he accepted Harvard was very interesting. He interviewed with several Ivys, including Princeton, Yale and  Brown. Stanford just for fun. He said they all touted the quality of their professors and their accomplishments, how many Nobel prizes, their facilities, accomplishments, and future potential.

Harvard didn't say a single word about anyone else. Those at the top of the heap don't have to pimp themselves.

Among my graduating class in high school, the most popular destination were the military academies. Out of the 40 of us 8 went to Annapolis, 1 to West Point and 1 more to Air Force Academy. Everyone I've ever worked with from BCG were Harvard grads. No more than another 10 in my high school went to various Ivys.

Deffeyes got his PhD from Princeton. You know....Mr "Peak Oil Happening Thanksgiving Day 2005".

Forgive my looking askance at what anything related to Princeton. Other than they get kudos for having Einstein and Oppenheimer hanging around at one point.
