Michael Brooks at the Guardian senses that scientists are not interested in any more nonsense. Eli senses the Overton window moving back towards reality
Mother Kloor would rather everyone be nice and sit on their hands. Mother Kloor would like to see peace between Schmidt and Watts. Mother Kloor would like to wait and see. Mother Kloor is a...mother.
Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they occasionally heed his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.
