That’s true, I didn’t mean getting in a prestigious university was rare from a state school, but rather those are certainly the “exceptional students” considering the stringent acceptance requirements. I only explained why rich parents would spend the money on private schools to give their child an edge. There are certainly cases where admissions are allowed because of family lineage or sizeable donations.
As far as I know you can only apply to Oxford or Cambridge, and furthermore you can’t apply to more than five universities in the UK except for rare occasions.

Only if your kids have excellent grades or are star athletes or otherwise exceptional. Most of this ends up as networking, where the rich parents meet other rich parents and eventually someone with connections is involved when it’s time for the kids to go to university, and because rich people like it when other rich people succeed because they want “the right kind of people” at the universities they send their kids to (sometimes) they’ll help grease the right palms.

Yeah and I think it’s important to include
Nearly 90 minutes into the event, which was attended by Jeff Bezos and the founding sponsors Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, Rogen and Edward Norton took the stage. But before giving out a prize to the Dutch theoretical physicist Gerard ’t Hooft, Mr. Rogen chose to make a few remarks.
He wasn’t just saying this to a faceless crowd of millionaire investors. He was saying this directly to the tech billionaires

What you’re describing is intentional. Keeping people dumb about the tech they’re using while maintaining messaging like “Facebook works day and night to keep you safe” was the point all along so that people don’t understand what they’re doing. Granted that extends far beyond social media, but still

Not op but pretty much everything I wear is just a plain color clothing item that looks ok and feels comfortable/fits well. It’s cool to focus on fashion, but for me that ends if you’re covering yourself in industry brands, supporting fast fashion/dumb luxury, or placing people above or below each other based on the perceived value of the cloth and metal they choose to wrap themselves in
