      The war against legacy admissions in elite schools seems somewhat quixotic to me, given that the main benefit meritocratic strivers garner from such schools is less their access to professors, than being socialized and networked into an elite represented by...the legacy students. https://twitter.com/samhaselby/status/1425443005754978305 …

      Why is rule by current middle class strivers better than rule by the descendants of last century’s strivers? What “merit” are we optimizing for here?

      this is absolutely never going to be fully realized and heritability and etc etc etc. yes but explicitly and institutionally implementing contraventions of the the principle is abhorrent and frankly European

          Why do people care so much about these ivy league schools and how they admit people? It seems like it's only really beneficial to a few majors. Maybe it's just something I really do not care about since I seemed to have done well without it.

          Because they are the gatekeepers of future elite status.

          Actually I think we’re well beyond this - Oxford has never had an explicit legacy system.

          returning to anything like small-d democracy would require a truly massive redistribution of wealth Tocqueville’s main theme is that America is the way it is (circa 1835) because of a lived equality of material conditions
