Haha, as if the average US university graduate is joining the ruling class
- anonytrary 8y agoHaha, as if the average member of the ruling class didn't graduate from university.
- nineteen999 8y agoAs a counterexample, Gina Rinehart who is Australia's wealthiest woman and number 7 worldwide, never graduated. So there are exceptions, but I get that it is not the norm.
- anonytrary 8y ago> average member
- nineteen999 8y ago> but I get that it is not the norm. And most available evidence suggests she did not get there through high intelligence, in lieu of a university education, but rather, complete and utter greed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDAwGqlIp7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDAwGqlIp7E
- anonytrary 8y agoAs such, it is not a counterexample! Edit: you keep editing your comments, but I was replying to the self-quote, which, at the time was your entire comment.
- nineteen999 8y agoSure, bad choice of words on my part. I'm pointing out, perhaps badly, that there are other attributes other than intelligence & education that can get someone there, eg. luck, greed, being a sociopath etc.
- anonytrary 8y agoGeneral rule of thumb is to post a new comment or declare an explicit edit if the change is non-trivial and substantially changes the purpose/point of the comment.
- nineteen999 8y agoSure. Have a nice day.
- nineteen999 8y agoYeah. I'm a slow thinker and sometimes I need the entire edit window to string a sentence together. Sorry about that.
- hnuser355 8y agoWho would say such a thing?
- beaner 8y agoIf there's a "ruling class" conspiracy theory it's more reasonably rooted in the ivy league/Harvard/Yale/Princeton, not so much US universities at large. That just covers too many people.
