The Atlantic staff writer, Thomas Chatterton Williams, has been accused of encouraging young people to be as miserable as he is. This article suggests that while most Americans are barely literate and party hard, Williams, who has a Master's degree from New York University and is married to a French journalist and author, lives in Paris, and teaches at Bard College. He argues that the problems in the world can be explained by this video, which suggests that college students are more oblivious to the consequences of our imperial government’s decision-making. However, Williams is so far removed from ground-level American culture that he floats above us on a cloud of ideas. He criticizes the American public and private university where the most potent bomb remains the Jaegerbomb.
