This happens a lot: I apply for a job and they ask for my complete address. Why? I would understand if they just want to know what city/town I'm in: That has bearing on how easily I can get to the office.
But why do they need to know my street address?
The only thing I can think: Indeed/LinkedIn/take-your-pick is building a profile of me based on this info, using my street as a proxy for my income, credit score, or, ultimately, for my social class.
From now on, when they ask me, I'm just going to put a rich person's address. For this one I used a Brooklyn townhouse where Maggie Gyllenhaal and one of the Saarsgaards lives.
Ohhhhhhh they were being critical of the concept. I was wondering why an official MIT account would spout eugenics talking points lol
Plenty of MIT/Harvard types are into eugenics. Don’t be fooled by the level of education someone has, doesn’t mean anything about their morals or ethics
Oh im well aware of how popular eugenics is among academics. I was just suprised theyd post that on twitter
Academics, not really. Too many, but not that many.
Faux intellectuals with a bachelor's degree and the arrogance to pretend that makes them an expert in a field, yes.
MIT is quite different from the other Ivy Leagues.
