But you know this perhaps way better than I do, so I’ll ask, if you’ve ever discussed this issue with finance professionals, what do you hear? Because I hear this really creepy refrain: “Well, inevitably all cultures stratify, sort of like old English class structures.”

Fuck that. I’m a prick and rather live-and-let-die, but I’d rather live under a bridge than in a society that tolerates that thinking. That’s not competition. That’s not libertarianism even. That’s the fixed game Wolf describes. That’s punching down, and punching down should cost you your teeth.

Which is why I could vote for Warren.

It's even more fixed.

Over 43% of white admitted students at Harvard are legacies, athletes, donors, or faculty/staff children. “Our model of admissions shows that roughly three quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected if they had been treated as white non-ALDCs.”
