I hope he has a long and miserable life, finding no joy in any daily experience and that all who meet him, shun him

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Watch this clip.

He basically says "It's OK that uninformed 20-year-olds who never applied for a grant or reviewed one were making the decisions to cancel these outright, you see, because we read books."

The lawyer asks: "Which books?"

"Oh, there were no books."
