Victory Lap

But before I do that, a brief recap of how Hungry has already changed the world for the better.

Thursday, August 30 - Hungry:
"Because, despite his undeniably massive accomplishments, Sachs does not teach undergraduates in the strictest sense of the word. In fact, he doesn’t teach undergraduates in any sense of the word, unless one takes teach to mean “give occasional lectures open to the Columbia community which undergraduates may attend if they find out about them in time.” Since coming to Columbia, Sachs hasn’t taught one course available to a broad array of undergraduates...Jeffrey Sachs really has done many, many good things in his life. It’s too bad that teaching undergraduates at Columbia hasn’t been one of them."

Friday, August 31st - e-mail to Columbia students:
SDEV W3300x The challenge of Sustainable Development; 3 pts;
"Instructor: Jeffrey Sachs. Lecture and discussion. An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of sustainable development, drawing on the most recent developments in social and physical sciences. Describes the interactions between physical ecology and economic development and stresses the ways in which they impact each other. Aims to provide students with an understanding of the ecological bases of human settlement and economic development."

Sadly, the class is scheduled for M-W-F at 8:45-10:00 AM. Still, for any who doubted, there is now definitive proof that this blog controls the future. Also, I own Jeffrey Sachs like a motherfucker, which means I own him a lot.

Also, I'd like to announce that it's a real shame that nobody has yet given me my own island as a present. And that my birthday is on September 10th.
