As a Stanford alum, I would like to point out a different side to the Stanford Bubble, so decried by Darren Franich in “Ire and Vice”. Life is tough and without bubbles, the more sensitive can easily be overwhelmed by the sadness in the world and become incapacitated. There is no need to immerse oneself in despair to know that it exists. Maybe some people need to do this in order to feel. Others already feel too much. It is only by being in a Bubble, by gaining the strength and resources it can provide, that many are able to go out and do their bit for making the world a better place. Sure, if you exist in the Bubble only and ignore the rest of the world, well that can be a problem. But I don't see that happening among the majority of Stanford grads. I was just on campus for my class reunion and so many of those I spoke with are doing their best to make the world just a little bit better than when they found it. Some in small ways, by trying to raise caring, compassionate and well-adjusted children and others in big ways, by running major corporations on humanistic principles or achieving positions in government where their voices carry weight. The Bubble has provided the perspective and resources necessary for them to achieve these things. To think of it another way, would you ask a caterpillar to enter the world without its cocoon? Or the chick without its shell? Don’t knock the Bubble just because you lack the perspective to appreciate it. Be grateful. It will go far in helping you to make the world a better place, whether or not you realize that now.

Um, but I like the bubble. That's why I wrote about it. Just cause I'm saying its weird and septi-polar doesn't mean I don't love its abject absurdity.

But thanks for posting! It's a strange and somewhat multifarious article. I like your read on the Bubble, too.

I've just posted twice on my own column. This must be a record. Vicky, is this a record?

You've actually posted three times now. And yes, it is a record. I think you're just trying to relive the glory days of the flame war.
