It's weird how nobody is like "the chaos of Venezuela is what happens when 20 or so families own 70% of the property"

That or being from the elite institutions actually places you in a bubble where you're out of touch. The biggest dumbasses seem to all come out of these prestigious places

Elite schools don't teach you secret elite chemistry or whathaveyou, they teach the same courses as other colleges. The "elite" part is that they're places for the elite to network and learn class solidarity. The bubble is the whole point.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:apparently he actually went to UCSD but was trying to be funny or make a point or something? to me, it reads like some kind of nihilistic "actually, most people are dumb" kind of thing. it's unclear whether he was going for "everyone is dumb except people from elite schools, who are out of touch with our dumbness" or "people from elite schools don't realize how dumb everyone is (including themselves)" given how Totally Not Mad he's been all day, i'm pretty sure that what he was going for was the former but that he's realized it would be a bad idea to say so

The "elite" part is that they're places for the elite to network and learn class solidarity. The bubble is the whole point. Basically it ingrains in you a certain idea of "normalcy" that consists of getting certain types of jobs and making certain amounts of money. The people I know who went to those schools and continued down that sort of life path (as consultants, lawyers, people in the tech industry, etc) basically live lives in some bizarro world where life is awesome and consists of living in nice places and traveling and doing fun things while not having to worry about your material well-being (or that of anyone close to you). The best way I can think of describing it, if you were privileged enough to not grow up in poverty, is that they live their entire lives in the same bubble you may have been in as a child (and maybe college student if you didn't have to work to pay your way through). There's never a time when they really have to "grow up" and deal with the normal stresses of adulthood, because they easily transitioned from childhood into a very high paying career (and so did most/all of the people they know).

The "elite" part is that they're places for the elite to network and learn class solidarity. The bubble is the whole point. they actually do teach "secret elite chemistry" at ivy league chem courses, where they go way more into esoteric topics than are commonly taught at state schools. they often have much higher math/phyisics requirements as well. this is more a product of the ivy league undergrad chem students being funneled into academic jobs, while middle-brow schools aim to get more students industry jobs or into med school. not to say that elitism isn't a huge problem. look at the faculty roster in any elite chem department: not only did they go to elite graduate schools, they went to elite undergrad schools as well. in my graduate class, two people got nsf fellowships. one of them was from harvard in their undergroud, and turned in an incomplete application.

The "elite" part is that they're places for the elite to network and learn class solidarity. The bubble is the whole point. This isn't entirely wrong, but I think it's important to point out the sorts of institutions that basically grind their students to dust in terms of course difficulty while having nearly all courses taught by professors and having access to specialized lab equipment give undergrads a lot of good experience. Undergrad only also means those professors are only there to teach, so that's really awesome. It's a niche, but the folks who didn't turn into rear end in a top hat, racist techbros mainly ended up teaching K-12 schools.

Growing up in a blue collar household and being the first in my family to attend college, there's a lot of truth here. If it makes you feel any better, a lot of those folks have turned a hard left over the years.

It's extremely vapid and might as well be inventing a new word for the irrational and crazy people who disagree with measured and correct David Brooks. Honestly the worst bit is when he ropes in debates between black writers and activist and drops: quote:I’d add that it’s a blunt fact that most great social reforms have happened in moments of optimism, not moments of pessimism, in moments of encouraging progress, not in moments of perceived threat.
