I was thinking about an old Kanye West tweet the other day. It was the denouement of one of his weirdly aggressive Twitter rants, and really only notable because it was, in fact, a famous George Bernard Shaw quote: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

At Columbia, the Shaw quote might provoke responses from students that run the gamut from, "Why would Columbia students even be exchanging Apple products? They already have all of Mac's products anyway," to, "I eat intellectual exchange for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, unless I'm too hungover to care. Amen, Mr. Shaw. Amen."
