How much would you give someone that taught you how to think and changed your earlier way of deficient thinking?

>>>Elliot Spitzer went to Harvard. A great thinker I guess.

Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber also went to Harvard. Look what his Harvard training in thinking did for him.

Spitzer - a moral failing
Kaczynski - mental illness

what's thinking got to do with it?

>>>If Spitzer seriously thought about the morality of his actions, he would not have done what he did. So it has something to do with thinking. Think whether what you do is right or wrong.

I will give you a break on Kaczynski.

Anyways, Spitzer is an exception - in general, the school does a good job of teaching 'how to think'. You should admit that much. (trying Rishi'ism Smile )
