Sigh. At least some people wanted to hear the speaker. Also, protesting Larry Summers of all people? Why didn’t anyone simply take the mic and give this woman a verbal beat down?

Summers has an interesting reputation. As Pres. of Harvard University, the Winklevoss twins showed up at his office on a Friday afternoon — wearing suits — and demanding that Summers discipline (suspend or expel) Mark Zuckerberg for hacking their site (in order to ultimately create Facebook).
Summers later said of the Winklevi “when an undergraduate shows up in your office wearing a suit on a Friday, either they want a job or they’re an asshole. This was the latter.”
Summers on his portrayal in “The Social Network”. It’s worth a watch, two minutes.

She was checking all the boxes. Corporate oligarchy, Elon Musk, blah blah blah.
So much for the idea Stanford admits deep thinkers.
