Ben Stein thinks we under- and unemployed
are generally people with poor work habits and poor personalities. I say “generally” because there are exceptions. But in general, as I survey the ranks of those who are unemployed, I see people who have overbearing and unpleasant personalities and/or who do not know how to do a day’s work. They are people who create either little utility or negative utility on the job.I'm perfectly willing to put my personality and my work habits up to a test from my former employers.
Can Ben Stein say the same? Of course, we can't go ask Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford about his work habits when he was a speechwriter for them, since they're dead. Nor should we judge him for his view that the theory of evolution is indirectly a cause of the Holocaust. Maybe we should just ignore him.
