Iyengar said he struck up a conversation with Lockheed Martin recruiters, mentioning that he would not be comfortable working on projects complicit in Israel’s military offense. Iyengar said he was trying to think deeply about the impact of science and engineering, and to learn about Lockheed Martin’s mission.

That guy needs to be awarded, not disciplined.

Seems to be blowback from this stuff: ‘Major Divestment Win’ – Students Say MIT has Cut Ties with Lockheed Martin Fund

The idealism of this doctoral candidate is pretty humorous. Of course the military industrial death cult recruits from MIT, that's one of their founding institutions.

Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
