The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company. This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18. Hell yeah.

Only for kids who were accepted to Ivy Leagues. State or city school? SOL

Yes. Being smart enough to get into an ivy league is strongly correlated to how big of a tech business you can built (vs getting going to a state school, which is more correlated to an average IQ).

Great because these schools can be more specialized. Great because they are cheaper. My generation sees Harvard for what it is. Tiffany’s. It’s just a brand name. The smartest kids don’t even want to apply.
