“I had a professor here at Harvard teaching the history of energy. Unrelated, one class he shows up and he like ‘today, each of you around this table are going to tell the group what your core problem is.’ And until that moment I never realized what mine was, but when I was forced to say it I was like, yeah mine is inequality. How can anything be found as a basis for saying that two people are not on the same level. How can we justify attributing different values for different people. Of course, there are so many reasons to want to do that, in legal terms, in philosophical terms, in morality, in religion, in health. But in the end I always have the same question, why is different important? Why does difference matter? Well, at least I know now that that’s my problem.” Join our host David Chen as we sit down with Ana Luiza Nicolae, a junior at Harvard College, for another episode of the Humans of Harvard College Podcast.
