Pensive and Media Kid are both Mike Church, a recent Carleton grad and current Wisconsin grad student who started posting on the law board after the college board got tired of him.

He recently had a huge-ass mental breakdown after an all-night posting spree making fun of Joe from Caltech, the preferred target for his jealousy. You may know pensive as the guy who views human relationships as equations, believes that if a girl doesn't like him she's "unprestigious" (the corollary to this, of course, is that "nearly all women are unprestigious"!) and apparently has something called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He believes his invention of the game called "Ambition" to be a significant achievement--on par with founding a successful business--and expends a lot of energy trolling for it on the internet, trying to plant references to it in Wikipedia, etc., without too much luck. (Refusing to believe that the game is without merit, he attributes this to un-named forces out there in cyberspace conspiring against him, making repeated reference to a bunch of people he pissed off at Carleton whom he believes are behind this.)

He promised to leave and seek mental help after his all-night ragefest (which he professed not to remember at all the next day), and he actually did briefly stop posting--as pensive, at least. Remarkably, the posting rate for "Media Kid" skyrocketed right about this time, with MK's number one topic being, of course, how misunderstood and maligned "pensive" really is.

After a few days of being subjected to this, a fed-up Carleton alum on the board who knew Mike in person from school started posting excerpts from Mike's online "User File," a Carleton web board where he often argued with people at his school, the main topics being things like his card game, why he can't get a date, and how most women are stupid compared to him. Anyway, he did this in the form of a very funny Onion column by "taking questions" and then answering them with excerpts from Mike's writing.

A few days ago Mike abandoned all pretense and started making the occasional post as pensive again. That's more or less where we stand now.

I hope I've been able to bring you up to date!

Subject: Hi, pensive. How about I annotate it for eveyone out there, OK?

In this post, I backup EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING I SAID, and you stop making stuff up. Thanks.

Pensive and Media Kid are both Mike Church, a recent Carleton grad and current Wisconsin grad student who started posting on the law board after the college board got tired of him, outed him--he initially denied it-- http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=163098&forum_id=1#2528449 (and pwned him repeatedly). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=181066&forum_id=1#2774252 and below are pretty entertaining, especially GTO.)

Also, he believes he's an "objective 8.0"--and will not be told otherwise!--despite looking like this: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~apache/gallery/foto/Church.jpg see: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=304598&forum_id=2#4371777

He recently had a huge-ass mental breakdown http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=305712&forum_id=2#4379625 after an all-night posting spree making fun of Joe from Caltech, the preferred target for his jealousy, on a thread that didn't mention him to begin with. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=305275&forum_id=2#4374491 You may know pensive as the guy who views human relationships as equations, believes that if a girl doesn't like him she's "unprestigious" and thus insults her to her face http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=273774&forum_id=2#3989162 (the corollary to this, of course, is that "nearly all women are unprestigious"! http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=279655&forum_id=2#4058162 ) and apparently has something called Narcissistic Personality Disorder http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=294161&forum_id=2#4239031 . He believes his invention of the game called "Ambition" to be a significant achievement--on par with founding a successful business http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=291884&forum_id=2#4312448 --and expends a lot of energy trolling for it on the internet, trying to plant references to it in Wikipedia (where he was banned http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=307383&forum_id=2#4401177 ), etc., without too much luck. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=300536&forum_id=2#4315837 (Refusing to believe that the game is without merit, he attributes this to un-named forces out there in cyberspace conspiring against him, making repeated reference to a bunch of people he pissed off at Carleton whom he believes are behind everything that goes wrong in his life. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=163098&forum_id=1#2528962 )

He promised to leave http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=304929&forum_id=2#4369858 and seek mental help http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=305712&forum_id=2#4379818 after his all-night ragefest (which he professed not to remember at all the next day http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=305712&forum_id=2#4379625 ), and he actually did briefly stop posting--as pensive, at least. Remarkably, the posting rate for "Media Kid" skyrocketed right about this time, with MK's number one topic being, of course, how misunderstood and maligned "pensive" really is. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=306925&forum_id=2#4395534 There was also a funny episode where "Media Kid" tried to claim that his absolutely extensive knowledge of Mike Church came from the fact that Mike was writing a book about his life, which "MK" had gotten ahold of. This idea was roundly mocked by all parties on the law board: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=306966&forum_id=2#4395865 http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=308818&forum_id=2#4429043

After a few days of being subjected to this, and people getting frustrated http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=306628&forum_id=2#4391468 , a fed-up Carleton alum on the board who knew Mike in person from school started posting excerpts from Mike's online "User File," a Carleton web board where he often argued with people at his school, the main topics being things like his card game, why he can't get a date, and how most women are stupid compared to him. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=307799&forum_id=2#4406857 and http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=309285&forum_id=2#4425958 Anyway, he did this in the form of a very funny Onion column by "taking questions" and then answering them with excerpts from Mike's writing. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=307727&forum_id=2#4405637

A few days ago Mike abandoned all pretense and started making the occasional post as pensive or obvious derivatives again (see: this thread, http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=309519&forum_id=2#4429009 and similar). That's more or less where we stand now.

I hope I've been able to bring you up to date!

Thank you. I honestly do consider it a public service.

(And also, as with the above poster, recommend those links--the first one, for example, is when he was first outted by a College Board poster named Surely Funke--used to be "use a toothbrush"--who went to Carleton and recognized his posting style immediately. Later pwnage, as in Renada Deshada's work on Media Kid = pensive, is also entertaining.)

i'd still say he's a decent guy who is put to having to justify himself to such an unrelenting extent that it would alter anyone for the worse. when he's just allowed to participate normally among eveyone else -- and when he doesn't attempt to separate himself - he's quite funny and perceptive. something like inventing a card game is a relatively interesting pasttime. but here it's only portrayed as either idiotic (by everyone but him) or heroic.

he's constantly observing things, and does have a unique, intelligent take. for a math person, he's got an exceptional literary sensibility. it would clearly be better to have his better self around than to drive him away.

still, OTJ has done a remarkable job memorializing this moment in board history.

it does sort of run aground when he gets adamant about that. i think he has a stake, as any of us might, in being able to create credible alter-egos. admitting that he is media kid is also an admission that he's not very good at doing that. a lot of people inside the writing world denigrate the ability to render onself, and equate true talent/skill with writing in a different voice. so it could be that he's not merely being obstinate in the face of having been obviously exposed. maybe that's too charitable. but i'd be inclined to give him a free out from all this and allow him to start anew.

I don't think he's ever really admitted that he's bad at anything, or that any significant "flaw" in his profile is actually 100% his fault. There's an excuse for everything--like the way he insists that he would've gotten into any undergrad school in the country (despite the fact that he only applied to Harvard and about 3 other not-too-competitive places, and was rejected at Harvard), or the fact that he goes to the #13 math school (claims that people from LACs can't get any higher than that), etc.

The multiple monikers are just another example of that. His very first post on the board was under another moniker "secret21" and he denied that even after it because abundantly obvious that it was the same as pensive, who was the same as Mike Church of Carleton, etc.

It's pretty much a wrap that I could have gotten into Harvard undergrad if I hadn't semi-intentionally blown the interview by admitting I didn't want to go. In any case, it doesn't matter because I was a lock on a more prestigious undergrad, Princeton, if I wanted to go. (At the time I didn't.) This was on account of knowing a top professor there who would have green-lighted me.

Students from LACs can get in higher than #13. In fact, I got into Michigan (#8) and, in a very close decision, chose Wisconsin. My reasons for this were complex and it truly was a 51/49, last-minute decision.

It is somewhat harder to get into the top 5-10 math or science departments from an LAC, but it can be done; I wasn't a strong enough applicant to do so, but I know people who would be. Anyone who wants my thoughts or advice on the matter should contact me in private and we'll chat about it.

Use a toothbrush doesn't make posts repeatedly defending you and saying preposterous things that only you believe, all while writing in exactly the same style you do.

You really don't realize how obvious you are, do you? Back when it was "secret21," she picked you out of the crowd immediately. When you switched to "pensive," GTO and some others knew it had to be you, too. By the time you got to "Potential," "JohnTheJanitor," "Media Kid," and all of your myriad other recent monikers, essentially the entire board knew instantly that they all had to be you.

I would still pick Carleton over Harvard.

Carleton is the top LAC in the Midwest; so if we classify schools according to model and location, it's the best in its class. Harvard loses to Princeton, Yale, and if you place MIT in the same "group", MIT too. Harvard, while hard to get into, is the mediocre college that rides on the coattails of a university that is actually great. Without Harvard University's graduate and research programs, HC wouldn't even be top 20 because its name would erode in status to that of a "merely good" New England college. So, with a choice between Harvard and Carleton, I'd pick Carleton and I'd advise anyone wanting to get a top-notch academic education to do the same.

The only thing Harvard has on Carleton is that it's somewhat harder to get into, and honestly I don't care about ~100 points in the average SAT scores (which is really the only significant difference). You can find great students at both.

Carleton vs. Princeton would be much more balanced, and a very difficult choice. At 17, I would've picked Carleton (obviously) but at 22, I honestly don't know. They're both great and intractibly different.

that's like saying a mercedes loses to lamburgini and ferrari, so in a choice between a brand new mercedes and a honda civic, since honda civic is a pretty good car for its class and has no immediate inferiors (let us suppose this for the sake of the argument), you'd pick the honda over the mercades. and that doesnt even address the fact that harvard doesnt lose out to yale or princeton, but i wont even bother arguing with you on that point.

I think it's hard to compare a northeastern university to a Midwestern liberal-arts college, and that's why I place them in different classes. Teaching will be better at Carleton, but Harvard will have more research opportunities. It's a toss-up and depends on the type of student. Harvard College is actually quite mediocre.

Wrong. Everyone elite knows that, for getting an education, Princeton is the best of the Ivies. Yale is next. Moreover, MIT is better than Harvard. Harvard is a great university, but the College has shitty morale among its students, and is basically a four-year yacht party for rich people who don't want to have to work hard (with a few hard-working kids who utterly resent the general atmosphere). There's nothing wrong with that-- for some people it's quite a valuable experience-- but it's not ideal if you want a serious academic education. For that, you want one of the "academic five": Chicago, Princeton, Swarthmore, Carleton, and I forget what the other one is (one of the LACs).

He didn't get into any of the top math programs.

You know, when you put it that way, I am actually more prestigious than pensive. I went to a softbatch LAC, and then got into a physics phd program that was ranked 10 at the time.

Yup. He thinks people from LAC's are somehow blacklisted from those kinds of programs because LAC's don't have classes that go far enough, or something. (It's basically just an excuse.)

You're way the hell more prestigious than pensive, for sure. Didn't you build a goddamn laser?

I forgot about the laser thing.

That "not enough classes" thing is silly. Anyone looking at grad school from a LAC should be doing all independent study/research by senior year. If anything LAC kids have an advantage cause its easier to get a first authorship.

I don't know what you mean by literary sensibility, but his writing style sucks ass. I find it near impossible to suffer through his pomposity and extremely sterile way of wording things (don't call a woman outstanding and attractive...just say you wanted to bang her).

You keep saying he's great when he drops the self-promotion and such, but when the fuck does he do that? Even when he was claiming severe depression, he remarked about how prestigious mental illness is. That's absurd.

I only brought up Ambition during the Joe Caltech flamewar, though others bring it up (usually to ridicule it) on occasion.

If I find a woman outstanding and attractive, I'll describe her that way. I agree with your comment on my writing style to the extent that I seem to lack as much range as I wish I had. I have a tendency to insist on precision and correctness from myself such a degree that my writing style becomes somewhat fustian, pedantic if you will. My speech is slightly more colloquial, but really just as bad. I only feel comfortable in one style of diction, which some receive as elevated but most as arrogant.

I didn't have severe depression; I have mild anxiety and depression, and as for "prestigious", I was trying to tie these facts into the prestige schtick, but I don't think it worked. In fact, they're reasons why I need to end the prestige schtick some time soon.

You're still a loser, Pensive. There's nothing to update.
