        I feel like every time he comes up, it should say "Larry Summers, who was fired for his antiquated beliefs on whether women could be good at math..." to frame his beliefs

        Robert Anton Wilson* used to talk about the idea of a "snarl word", a word or phrase which has no informational content but serves only to move a discussion into an emotional register * (I looked it up and apparently S. I. Hayakawa coined the term.)
