    I am surprised you put this man on here. The world may consider him good or whatever, he was blatantly sexist. He was more concerned with involving females in computer science rather than those who aspire to be computer scientists. His friend from EA announced a $5 million towards "encouraging" women to take up careers in computer science and a full paid Fellowship designated to go to female students in computer science and he did not object to promotion such a sexist activity in his name..

    Yes, I was fascinated by his lecture too - until the very end where he does his PC feminist equality of outcome thing. Which has been cut out of this video (I think).

    He is nothing more than another left-wing PC & feminist characters who happens to know something better than most other left wingers. Almost all his brilliant students were male, yet he still yearns for females (who are free to, but will not excel in the field). How "equal" is that? How can you respect this man? I don't and it upsets me to no end that people keep giving free passes to such people.

    I put it on here because I found it inspirational, I didn't know about his past but it sounds a lot like the CS tutors I had back in my university days. Good luck in finding one who isn't interested in summarily stuffing women into CS positions they don't belong in.

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
