as i said, one of the best universities in the united states is yale.ch a classic first world problem, first world discussion. you know, in so many parts of the world, they're not sort of sitting around wondering about how they can be happier. they are just actually getting on with life, putting bread on the table, worrying about whether they'll have a job next week. and that overrides and is so much more important than any of the stuff you and me have talked about today. yeah, ithink, you know, this actually i think is another common misconception about happiness. actually, one of my first lectures to my students is the question, is happiness a first world problem? and one of the things we look at is just, what's the causal arrow of happiness? again, we sometimes think good circumstances happen, we're making a lot of money, and then all of a sudden we get happy. but actually, if you look at the research, there's evidence that the causal arrow points the other way, too, that happiness, whether it's defined as cheerfulness, a positive outlook on life, a

actions and went against conscience these are exactly the questions that i wanted to investigate at yale university. at the moment sperm a very simply was similar to torture this was one not all the research we've been describing is the impact of interrogation upon the subject. had another agenda the impact of interrogation upon the interrogator if he were to indicate a wrong answer he would say wrong then tell him the number of balls you're going to get and. then give him the punishment. and read the correct word pair once he got an ordinary people who fit by all the regular scales very normal americans and then he subjected them under false color to doing what he called an educational experiment in trying to encourage people to apply ever higher voltages as a false patient kept on getting making mistakes here but. in fact milgram was able to encourage at least in his 1st experiments i think close to 70 percent to go on to apply highly dangerous and sometimes fatal shocks to get that man thinking that. do you mean that. you know what i mean i mean time i learned likes it or not we must go on until

torture so that was my most famous quote and because i said that on larry king it ended up being at yale university as one of the famous quotes of that year so that's the power larry king had when you went on with larry king plus i think the great thing about larry was you went on there with a said that you weren't going to get cheap shot it that larry would ask you tough questions but they would be question jude expect from an everyday citizen every day of your life if you happen to be involved in anything of controversy. monella as a young journalist and broadcaster knew about the opportunity to interview larry numerous times on your show in question what kind of colleague a mentor was larry king for young journalists around the newsroom in the times that you've both worked with him here or when you're interviewing him on your show well i would say there were 2 parts to this that you could learn from larry or your take away it's from larry one of them was one of the things that can't be taht is just something that larry himself had and you hope you can possibly imitate was just the ability to mak

the median family income of a yale university student is $192,000 a year. that is the median.f pennsylvania, it is about $196,000 a year. brown university in providence, $204,000. these are all ivy league schools with multibillion-dollar endowments, heavily subsidized by you through your tax dollars. so they can afford to educate poor kids, they just choose not to. at princeton, 72% of students come from families in the top 20% nationally for household income. nobody seems to have any plans to change any of this. diversity is for wage earners, not for the people in charge. no one is trying to diversify prestigious campuses because in real life, let's be honest, the lack of diversity is the real reason that people go there in the first place. no one applies to yale in order to learn things. that is not the point. the point of going to yale's to cement your position as a credentialed member of america's ruling class. the singular purpose of the experience, the only purpose. more than any other standard, more than any award in american society, and ivy league degree increases the
