Joyce was ranked something like 100th at the time, but was playing a totally different sport, according to the Big D. I am sort of interested in finding out if there is a secret society of ridiculously sick Rocket League players out there who are never put into our random matches because they live in an ivory tower constructed out of all the chassis of the cars they've pummeled into dust.

Although I confess to having enjoyed the cachet evoked by my school's name, I've often regretted that I didn't attend a large coed school with football and basketball games (and parties) to attend — or wished that a "gap year" had been available so that I could have had a year to experience the real world before being immersed in an ivory tower that, perhaps at one year older, I would have appreciated more.

"If you're looking for an escape from a connection with other people on this planet, if you want to be, you know, separated from your potential to empathize with others, if you want a life in an ivory tower where everybody is an enemy and you need to build walls and you've got to do a better deal with the Chinese or whatever it might be, that this leader that you've elected thinks is a good idea, well, that's what you believe," he said.

I do make a lot, and I was talking with John Markoff about this, too, that early paper where he went Appendix A, and it's very well known that this paper they wrote when they were still students, it said advertising was antithetical to a really fair search, how it had to be kept transparent in an ivory tower, and to see how they were converted from that very idealistic viewpoint to this incredibly practical money-obsessed version through, I would say, Stanford and the influence of Stanford.

Reality for those of us on the ground is different: My industry alone lost over 500,85033 direct manufacturing jobs and another million-and-a-half indirect jobs, and thousands of business owners in other industries struggled through sleepless nights, knowing only too well that while the narrative coming from the Ivory Tower offered protection to the political class, it was cold comfort to those on the front line — those who knew, such as economist Susan Houseman at the Upjohn Institute, that automation actually had very little to do with the job losses.
