|content=Many years ago, I started telling people “[[Harvard]] is not what you think it is.”
It was both the best and worst place to do research in the world. This was hard to explain. No one wanted to believe it.
It has since gotten a lot easier to explain the depth of the problem thanks to Larry Summers, Claudine Gay, [[Jeffrey Epstein]], Elizabeth Warren, Henry Rosovsky, PEDS, etc., particularly at @HarvardMath, and @HarvardEcon.
[[Harvard]] was generally to scientific narratives what the @nytimes editorial board was to the US national narrative:
a group of unelected people who largely said what was and what was not. More than any other university, they decided what was real and what was to be discarded as trash. They decided who was to get credit. Who would be named. Who would be asked to write the review articles that told the stories. Etc.
[[Harvard]] was the source of a rich research narrative that emerged from closed door meetings, secret seminars, and various [[Star Chamber|star chambers]].
I vividly remember being told that I would not be allowed to attend even my own thesis defense. I was just dumbfounded. Speechless. What do you even say to such people?
Professors at other institutions immediately thought I had lost my mind when I told them. Literally. Surely, this was a claim too insane to be real. “How is that even possible?” I don’t know of any other university on earth that prohibits PhD candidates from being in the room of their thesis defense or prohibits them from choosing who will at least represent them. It’s beyond any  other university’s abilities to control narratives at this level. Except [[Harvard]].
[[Harvard|Harvard University]] is, in many ways, a cryptic extension of the U.S. Federal government. Particularly the Economics Department, Government Department, the Kennedy School, the Law School and several science departments.
I am hoping that at least some of that will show up in the [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] document releases. It will make it much easier to explain [[Geometric Marginalism]] and [[Theory of Geometric Unity|Geometric Unity]] and what happened to them.
They happened at [[Harvard]] for a reason. They just happened to conflict with 2-3 narratives that were already being written there. If they hadn’t, things could have been rather different.
I’m excited to show you this hidden world *if* we happen to get lucky and get some [[Harvard]] internal information in the releases. Particularly around the [[Boskin Commission]] and Gravity/[[Gauge Theory]]. [[Jeffrey Epstein|JE]] was exposed to both.
Will it happen? I hope so.
Dare to dream.
