      as affirmative action debate comes back, remember not to judge college pol on basis of the tiny tiny pct of colleges that are like harvard

      actually this tweet is evergreen if you switch out affirmative action for any other debate about college

      college debates are poisoned by the fact that most of the people in the debate went to elite colleges and think all college looks like that

      like, i went to a highly selective private college (on lots and lots of aid). learning that my experience was Not Normal was way important

      if someone is making an AA argument either way while citing stats specifically from harvard, they can be safely ignored

      maybe ivys and kin matter more proportionately though? just in their role as pipelines to the reichsaristokratie in the carolingian sense

      or maybe another way of saying it is, elite schools matter very much for a particular culture/political struggle, but not much broadly

      That's fair. I'd also argue that trying to set national policy on the basis of how it applies to a tiny sliver of a cultural battle is bad

      Dya think optimal Ivy AA policy differs than state schools? Or do you have a clear idea where AA is better or worse in some sense? (I don't)

          AA isn't really an area I specialize in, but my intuition is that it is a better idea at lower-ranked places for two reasons

          (lower-ranked and state) 1) one big ol inefficiency is skilled students who don't have cultural cap to jump through hoops. AA helps them
