- Yale Professors React to Comments Overheard at Yale
Yale students have a forum where they post up things they overhear at Yale. This forum is called "Overheard at Yale". We decided to take some of those posts and ask Yale professors to read them.
Thanks Professors!

now I really want to see Dr.Zhong defending himself from the stuck elevator situation
LOL + just made ur comment 69 likes ❤
"Problem solved, as far as I'm concerned."
I love that guy lmaoooo
That guy was perfect 😂😂
Lmao the people in the comments really expect Ivy students to be complete emotionless robots...when one of the criteria for getting in is to be a complex and interesting person.
As opposed to Harvard where you just gotta be rich.
It’s not really the fact that they’re creative, they’re also well, human. They do well in classes but many are “normal” socially like everyone else. Even the Einsteins.
@@Cassxowary Yale is day care for trust fund babies. People think because it's Ivy League they're somehow smarter and more mature than any other college kids.
@@matthewchunk3689Those trust fund babies in many cases were also exposed to a higher standard of education, culture, and expectation throughout their formative years, compared to average state school students. And then there are those truly gifted students from the public school system who achieve admission to an Ivy on an academic scholarship. Hate to rain on all this “fanfare for the common man” but the top .1% of academic achievers actually have a lot going for them. Surprise
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448So they've been in daycare since well before Yale as well, got it
Really love that the way they do the quotes and the names of the professors makes it look like these are things the profs have said
"You're suppose to create a home, now freshmen want to transfer out, your disgusting. You shouldn't sleep at night!" You yale kids remember those ones? Loll
I'm leaving room for nuance, but you must prove your claims. It's a fact that the Jews have had unfair advantages in Europe historically, and then the US as Jews migrated to the US. Yet Jews outside of the Ashkenazi have no advantage over any other group, it is strictly European Jews who have outperformed other peer groups similarly situated. Does that mean that European Jews have a separate culture from non-European Jews? It's an interesting question, with an obvious answer of yes, ultimately.
So we have to look at Jews in Europe as a unique group, and examine their backgrounds. What we find are several major advantages Jews had, until the early 19th century at least. The first is medieval Jews alone could engage in banking during the Middle Ages in Europe, causing many of their families to become extravagantly wealthy. Then, Jews alone could manage the slave trade in much of Europe, when it became illegal for most Christians to handle slave sales, which is why Jews historically created and ran most of the slave trade through Eastern and Central Europe. Finally, as the Christian slave trade became illegal, and only Slavs were available for sale (hence the word "Slavery") those Eastern European Slavs were sold to the Ottomans and other Islamic empires, which is why Christians also could not participate, Jews handled most of Europe's slave trade for over half a millennium. On top of this, most trade routes for things other than slaves that went into Islamic territories were closed to Christians, allowing only Jews to trade, once again.
Of course, any group so situated would become quite wealthy, and the Jews inevitably did. So then the question becomes, "Would a similarly wealthy group, with similar genetic traits, become comparably well accomplished". Well, it turns out this question is easier to answer than we'd think. IQ is primarily a genetic trait (70% heritability approximately, according to most studies) followed by cultural capital as the next deriving source.
Jews are in fact Northern Europeans, concerning the Ashkenazi genetically. So it's down to culture. Let's compare the Ashkenazi, to wealthy Germans, or wealthy English people (or in America, Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestants), WASPS
What we find are that such groups ALSO perform quite well. Jews do well compared to the average person, but not much better than other similarly wealthy, and thus, well educated people. Additionally, and this is a very important point, if Jewish culture alone, not education/wealth plays such an important role, we should expect Jews who do not come from wealthy backgrounds to also perform very well. We do not see that, on average. Jews who are normal middle to lower class individuals, often remain there for generations, so of course it is certain types of Ashkenazi, with certain types of cultural backgrounds and opportunities who do well.
I'm not saying they're bad, or that Jews are simply engaged in nepotism. But the reality is that there has in recent years been a myth of Jewish superiority, not unlike Nazi beliefs in Aryan superiority. In reality, Jews are a small wealthy subset of Northern Europeans, and perform as well as other's similarly situated, based on a variety of historical social factors.
While they perform quite well in many areas, they do not perform better than other's similarly situated. If you go to Harvard, Jewish or WASP individuals will often come from a long line of wealthy families to go there, and both will have families full of doctors and lawyers, and they will have many accomplishments in their backgrounds. It happens. Don't buy into the propaganda.
As far as nepotism is concerned, it obviously exists. I've known plenty of white families in general, Jewish and otherwise. Especially among WASPS. They favor each other, give special benefits, etc. I went to college with a girl (girlfriend, briefly) with a German family history, who spent a lot of time growing up around other wealthy families. We broke up after a few months of going out, and I can say that she was young, naive, and not very good in school. I helped her with assignments for several years, even before we dated. Her grades were a full GPA point below mine in a similar major.
I got out of school in a state with a very bad economy. I got to work as a security guard, despite my strong academic record. She graduated, and was immediately given a mid-level management position at a top 3 national insurance company based in my state. That's simply how it works now. People with contacts get opportunities, and those without generally don't. Jews generally have contacts.
LA KOSHER NOSTRA must end the white race, lmgao
Brother Freedom I didn't notice. Were they wearing badges or something?
@@catlover1986 I am not even going to read this lol
@@wack8697 thank you for the TLDR good sir
That last quote is straight up poetry, like something Socrates or Buddha would say.
biking without a helmet was a good one, the rest were irrelevant. Focus, Yale students!
Don't worry, they're all still smarter than you.
@@octaneblue6 lol tru. Its like they expect kids from this school to be robots.
@@octaneblue6 knowledgeable about specific subjects ,declaring someone smart in ln eneral life on the basis of excelling at a specific subject is not the most thought out statement
Yeah I don't even get how these are funny. They're just irrelevant quips about sex.
Why do you want to turn these students into emotionless unthinking robots
"Some weak ass ice" This bitch had me dead
I had to watch Freedman's lectures for a class I was taking and it was fucking surreal seeing him here
These comments are surprisingly devoid of interesting or useful content.
Make an additional video about the crazy girl offended by Halloween costumes. She should be expelled for disrespecting the master.
she wasn't offended by Halloween costumes--in fact there'd been no complaints or offensive costumes before then; she was offended by Christakis saying that Yalies were mature enough to handle Halloween costumes on their own
@@marshmallowbudgie bruh
cokeblokéd
Love how the comments are full of crybabies.
"They should..." How about you leave the academic things to the academics? Just because you shitheads don't qualify for any university doesn't mean you can tell them how to do things...
I smell privilege!
So....some of the brightest of our nation go to this school called Yale....I'm scared for our future.
+Taffer 1000 Also, famous folks like George W Bush also were there... I'm sacred, too.
+Taffer 1000 All hail the sacred Taffer 1000. May our hopes ride on your success.
Taffer 1000 Thank you for your sacredness.
Taffer 1000 And I'm scared of your capacity for spelling.
+John Nycto He only rode off of his daddy's money though
Professor Daniel Spielman... the American Harsha Bhogle.
Listening to freedman is always great.
Yale had lost its elite edge. I don't think there is any debating that.
PremiumWater Cushy rich kid school
daycare for spoilt pampered whiners. they probably have a ball-pit and colouring books for pre-teens
Nah, they're all smarter than you.
then why aren't you there?
@@sereysothe.a not interested enough to work hard in those domains
Bro Martha Wells sounds like the sweetest person ever 🥰
I am commenting so the algorithm shows this to more people 😩
This had me in stitches.
guess you had to be there....
This is 6 yrs ago the word cockblocked was there?
I go to Willoughby's all the time and ask the yael students which way is Tienamen Square and how far is occupied Gaza
CS professor seems really nice tbh
Hi 🙋♀️ this is a very nice 👍🏻
If possible please look into inventing a safer heliox helium that those in the entertainment industry can swallow to change our voices for entertainment purposes safer (university of Yale chemistry)
1:43 😂😂
half of these professors look like they just graduated highschool
"That Yale thing"
What is Yale going to do about Dr. Aruna Khilanani
American teachers look exactly the same in the movies
All of these professors sound like variations of whiny Woody Allen.
Only 2 of these were funny. The one about birth control for breakfast, and the one about not wearing a helmet hoping to die before that class.
where was the shrieking girls comments
🥰
Why do they laugh at the comments 😂 this is why everybody hates education lmao, they literally ignore the cries for reform
what are they supposed to do about people having trouble finding love
It’s because they’re on the same boat
wwwhoooaa these comments are actually ridiculous calm down edgelords
everyone not knowing who you are: a human. lol, you are my favorite human

Now less people want to go your university because of people like Jereyln Luther.
i weep for humanity if Yale students are considered some of the best in the world
you're just gullible
lmfao what does that mean
How do students study physics while yelling at the dean about safe spaces?

Glad I chose William & Mary
1.) You didn't even get accepted into Yale.
2.) If you were, and you chose William and Mary over one of the top 10 universities in the WORLD based on a video alone (and you are using such video to justify that decision) , then holy shit everyone is grateful that you didn't end up at Yale.
"I got a dog, I can't tell if it's male or female yet because it hasn't declared its gender identity. Maybe it will after it learns to sit."
why does it appear like all these Yale professors seem either gay or asexual?
I think this is an evil plan, for the academically poor student to looks better in class. Everyone gets worse grade as they anger their professor. Professor is there boss.
Those were some of the most asinine comments I've heard. These are suppose to be Yale students? Yikes!
Uhhhh.....I think that's the joke right there. Smart people saying foolish stuff.
@@TheLawyerMechanic somehow complaining about love is an "asinine" comment.
These are pretty tame. Sounds like you just have soft skin ;)
@@shchorss ngl I expected the comments to be like: “This professor’s class is not riveting in the slightest and thus I shall choose another professor of great knowledge in the subject he is teaching.”
So many Jewish proffs I stopped watching
lesselp Jesus Christ that’s pretty Anti-Semitic, don’t you think?
@@mollysadler6495 if there was a university with only Christian white males as professors you would also point out the bias there seems to be in professor selection.
@@moma8518 literally go to any other video, nobody give a shit
@@AA-hs4rk I don’t actually hold any of these views, I just pointed out the hypocritical nature of Molly’s comment
