One of my co-fellows was an IV league valedictorian and national level athlete. I'm pleased and grateful someone that talented, dedicated and driven to the point of obsession is diagnosing and treating neurological disease (and not, say, improving advertising algorithms for amazon or google).
- mtnGoat 7y agoAmen to this! Imagine if all the bright minds in SV, were looking to improve the world instead of enrich themselves and their overlords by any means necessary. However I don't think we should limit the number of anything, if are qualified and knowledgeable enough to do brain surgery, you should be allowed to. Not just because your family was rich enough to fund education or you were willing to foot the debt. Taking less profit out of education might help fix the doctor shortage.

Unfortunately that's just not how it works. I want the best people to do brain surgery(not everyone who can), just like if I'm running a formula one racing team, I really don't want every idiot who can barely drive a car cluttering the track.
