<p>That’s a lovely, glib phrase, danas, but I have no idea what you mean, and I wonder whether you do, either.</p>
<p>Trying to shove some sense into it, I would agree that, on average (not universally) Harvard students are more likely to be engaged in trying to fathom and to solve problems in the real world, be they social problems or problems about the biochemistry of muscle response. On the other hand, on average (not universally) Harvard students are also far more likely to believe that they know everything worth knowing already, and thus have no particular reason to question their beliefs – and that’s a variety of profound lack of curiosity about the world. One of the nice aspects of Chicago is that the boot-camp style of the Core makes it practically impossible to make it through one’s first couple years without becoming more skeptical of any belief system, and more respectful of actual, messy phenomena.</p>
