This author has largely nailed it. There are simply no other institutions that celebrate elitist, establishment puppetry of the rest of the population like Yale. Both Harvard and Princeton celebrate academic achievement, growth beyond the walls of the schools. Yale remains an incestuous pool of collusion, circumventing meritocracy by design.
- finolex1 5y agoI think the author meant Abolish {elite, exclusive institutions}, where the word Yale can be substituted by Harvard, Princeton and a number of others.
- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoAs a Harvard alum I find your distinction between Harvard and Yale pretty baffling.
- revscat 5y agoIt seems that Yale is the the epitome of modern neoliberalism: incestuous, deeply capitalist, superficially woke but not in any meaningful way that would affect the balance of economic or political power. All while being dismissive towards anyone not in their circles. Sure, abolish it. Maybe that would help get us out of this political logjam we’ve been in for half a century.
