Those schools foster a certain way of thinking.

Thiel went to Stanford law ….I think a lot of these evil morons prove that these Ivy League schools are crap

They’re not “smarter”. They just are better connected.

Seems like those schools were successful in teaching them how our legal system works and how to use it to advance their own goals. Seems like the only thing they didn’t learn is ethics, but their understanding of our legal system is pretty solid.

They’re literally out there committing crimes against international law and the constitution every day

And they’re getting away with it because they understand how the legal system works.

I agree, but also suspect that the legal system is not equally applied to everyone. Specially in totalitarian states like the US.

They are getting away with it because they control the enforcement mechanisms. Captured by fascist’s to protect their orange king.

What would “teaching” ethics even do, JD Vance has his own ethical framework and to him this all makes sense, presenting him another framework will not change anything.

The Ivy League is overrated, community college and khan academy is underrated

100%. I think I did college every possible way (except ivy league). First two years at a small liberal arts college, left because tution went way up and scholarship stayed the same. Three yeara at a big univeraity, where i switched majors and graduated with a bunch of useless paper in time for the 2009 financial crisis. Never found a career and went back to community college for a focused degree. All had good and bad aspects but community college i thought was the best learning experience.
Part of that may have been due to already being loaded up on gen ed credits, so i could focus on just the degree classes. It was also the fact that the teachers were real people who had experience in the field rather than career academics.
