We don't talk on the elevator. We anonymously spew vitriol on cyberspace. And when we see that kid from University Writing coming down Broadway, we duck into the nearest shop.
But we're really not that terrible, Columbia.
The Social Experiment is cutesy and fun and whatever, and that's fantastic. (And Harvard "welcomes" it, so that's that, isn't it?) But the premise that we're gauche or somehow socially deficient just because we don't talk to each other is false. There's nothing inherently wrong with being taciturn.
