In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

There is a difference between scrutiny and entertainment. Jason Arday’s career posed questions, but they shouldn’t have become obsessional. Journalism should seek truth, but not public humiliation.

It's actually hard to describe what this video is, but it's unspeakably brilliant, some kind of art/entertainment genre I'm not sure has existed before. It's 35 mins long, so I'd suggest only watching it 3 or 4 times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGt7...

The trouble with knowing the word petrichor is that not enough people understand it for one to use it in chat, and half of those who do understand it think it needlessly elitest and showoffy. So instesd I'll just say the smell of today's rain on the parched garden is lovely.
