I really want to like Nadeem, and I started out thinking he sounded pretty cool. But by the end of his page on Winter's site and checking out his own website, he's absolutely hammered my mental button labeled "clueless privileged idealist technocrat dilettant". (I didn't even know I had a button labeled "clueless privileged idealist technocrat dilettant".) "Brain drain"? Really?
Is there some reason to believe that I'm wrong? Is there evidence that he knows poor people exist? People who don't and aren't ever going to know calculus? People with disabilities which greatly compromise their ability to compete in the market place?
