#OccupyWallSt Poster Boy A Trust Fund Baby, Attempted Stowaway At JFK
BreitbartTV ^ | 10/15/2011 | Staff

Posted on 10/16/2011 7:34:29 PM PDT by Just4Him

A Breitbart.tv investigation has uncovered that the man whose epic meltdown video at the "Occupy Wall Street" protests went viral is really Edward T. Hall III. Mr. Hall is a Columbia graduate student who has a trust fund set up by his grandfather. He recently made headlines for trying to board a flight at JFK airport by hopping the ticket counter and diving onto the baggage carousel. He was charged with trespassing and is free on "conditional release."

“I wish to develop socially based interventions to help moderate excessive discounting.”— I’m pretty sure there is a word missing between moderate and excessive but this seems to me to be that he tries to find ways to start social movements (i.e. community organizing) to help speed up social recognition of what he sees as environmental problems; i.e. use community organizing to get people to not “discount” the “severity” of environmental problems.

I think you're spot-on. But I don't believe there is a word missing between "moderate" and "excessive." I think he's using "moderate" to mean "temper." In other words, change people's behavior with regards to dismissal of the "Green Apocolypse." I think he must have been stoned during the entire semester of "Syntax 101."

Regarding the upper photo:

Where's the “diversity”? Seems white, male, and entirely very early twenties.

Ah, it does make more sense when you take the term “moderate” in that manner... it was the use of “help moderate” followed by “excessive” that I think threw me off... It probably should read something like “My work seeks to develop socially based interventions to assist in the moderation of excessive discounting” but I guess less clarity in his writing makes it easier for him to hide his nefarious motives...

“I wish to develop socially based interventions to help moderate excessive discounting.”

He hates Walmart, Costco, Target, Kohls and other discounters which keep hippie boutiques on the fringes with their high prices.

“I am also especially interested in the organizing of research information for public use, and open access use of ideas for problem solving.”

He wants us with our tax $’s to buy computers and internet service and provide them free to the freeloaders, and he wants to be in charge of this and be paid for his intellect.

If the value of his intellect is the issue, he is going to have to pay them.

C.S. Lewis, who had a Double First in Classics back when that was really something to write home about, said that the true test of expert knowledge is ditching the jargon and explaining yourself in plain English. If you can't do that, you probably don't know what you're talking about.

This guy makes a Philadephia lawyer look like a model of clarity, so I'm pretty certain he knows he has no idea what he's talking about and is just hoping to brazen it out.

I sure don’t....and I doubt he could explain it in 300 words or less, either.

Stoned out, Drugged up & doesn’t even know how lost a future he has established for himself.

So the rich kid from Alberquerque gets admitted to Columbia U Grad School as a legacy in the same field his Columbia U grandfather studied and received letters, which means his entire interview process evolved around meeting and greeting the designated interviewer of the Columbia U alumni network in New Mexico, then talking with the Dept head at Columbia U and the financial aid office. No GMATs, MCATs etc required.

Since grandpops set up a trust fund it’s more probable than not it has strings attached that require him to attend graduate school to use the money.

And now this carpetbagging trustifarian got arrested by TSA and had a breakdown on Youtube? Trustifarian probably had no idea how expensive living in Manhattan was when he got his big chance to move to the Big City. Now he feels poor for the first time in his life.

That boy is going places I tell ya, places in New Mexico that are named “community college faculty lounge” I figure.

He hasn’t the foggiest.

I can remember people like him in business, mouthing what sounded good at first and meaning nothing. Their corporate half life when we went through the various ups and downs was very short.

I study intertemporal choice with respect to environmental decisions. I wish to develop socially based interventions to help moderate excessive discounting. I am also especially interested in the organizing of research information for public use, and open access use of ideas for problem solving.

Does anyone have any WTF he's talking about?

The boy probably can not tie his shoelaces but he can do math.
The discounting he is talking about isn't like getting a percentage off an item or total .
He is talking about mathematical psychology.
In reality he needs to be locked up in a padded cell and be put on some meds;)
