How the Elite rigged Society (and why it’s falling apart) | David Brooks

moar confessions of the elite

so I have a confession to make I'm a

member of the educated

Elite

so so we members of the educated Elite

did some good things we created the

internet brunch and

mocktails you're welcome we did some bad

things we designed a meritocracy design

designed around the skills we ourselves

possess and rigged the game so we

succeeded and everybody else failed by

age 12 children American children of

affluent kids are four grade levels

above everybody else by University the

age rich kids are 77 times more likely

to go to university or to ivy league

university than kids from poor schools

in adulthood 54% of the people at Elite

workplaces went to the same 34 Elite

colleges so we ended up creating a cast

system people with high school degrees

die nine years sooner than people with

college degrees people with high school

degrees are five times more likely to

have kids out of wedlock people with

high school degrees are 2.4 times more

likely to say they have no friends so we

created a cast system even though we

pretend to be

egalitarian

the worst things we did

were spiritual we privatized morality

and destroyed the moral

order uh George Marsen is a great

historian who said what gave Martin

Luther King's rhetoric its power was the

sense there's a moral order

Long post but I will always love the one below…

"There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . .

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

We are on that wave again….here at the 8kun…Wave to Storm

over the precipice long ago
