...anyone who has ever wished that “that guy” in class would shut up, or for anyone who has realized that she has turned into “that guy,” it might seem a good idea to stop issuing strong opinions. Perhaps our brain power could be put to better use if we focused it on the job at hand, rather than expending it while playing Halo. Yet this is not reason enough to conform to the nine-to-five theory of critical thinking...
...control. Someone should find out. 2. Think like an undergrad. Many problems could be solved much faster by asking undergrads how to solve them.

For example, the CLC claims that that noise from late-night eateries, such as Felipe’s Taqueria (which faced penalties last fall for selling burritos a few minutes past 2 a.m.), would be disruptive to Cambridge residents. Most of the Square’s restaurants and bars, however, are in non-residential areas. Clearly, the city could grant these restaurants later hours...
