MIT’s Senior House dormitory closes, and a crisis blooms at colleges

I didn't think it was meant to be a political post. The entire thread is about a purported cultural shift that's starving out the environment that people like Steve and Woz thrived in.

In fact, I would be disappointed if it was meant to be about politics because it'd come across as an attempt to shoehorn politics into a discussion about much broader social trends

What exactly do you beleive politics to be?

This sort of thing is a prime example of politics, the failure to recognise that is harmful to your understanding.

Politics isnt just voting for congress-critters and presidents.

I don't feel it is useful to narrow this to a political issue rather than a broader social trend.

I also don't particularly appreciate the tone of your replies and especially statements like "the failure to recognise that is harmful to your understanding", which come across as somewhat condescending and less about seeking a proper conversation than about attempting to lecture.

So I won't be replying further to this thread.
