You have always been very critical of herd-like behavior. Back in 1995, you wrote a book about the “diversity myth” at universities: People are selected in order to look different, but educated to think in the same way.
Yes, diversity should be more than a group of people that look different and think alike. Intellectual diversity is the kind of diversity we should really value, not just this superficial diversity with some extras such as seen in the Space Canteen in Star Wars.

Вот ведь! Еще в 1995-м году дядечка видел.

At some point, you described that the last presidential election felt like an apocalyptic battle. What exactly did you feel was at stake?
There are these essays by a person called Michael Anton. They are all written pseudonymously because he felt it was too dangerous to write names. One of them was titled “The Flight 93 Election”. Flight 93 was one of the four flights that was hijacked after 9/11 but it was the one where the passengers took over, they charged the cockpit – plane still crashed. And it was like that it felt that the country had been taken over and it was on a catastrophic trajectory, that people were going to try to charge the cockpit. It didn’t mean that they would be able to ride the plane or the ship or whatever the metaphor is, but “we’re gonna try”. So I do think that “The Flight 93 Election” is a powerful metaphor and, emotionally, that certainly resonated with me.
