Please provide this, "ample evidence" and, "multiple proofs" that, "this" (what?) is the case. Edgelording about how society hasn't lived up to your expectation

Please provide this, "ample evidence" and, "multiple proofs" that, "this" (what?) is the case. Edgelording about how society hasn't lived up to your expectations as a modern human being (that apparently didn't go to college?) I'm inclined to hear you out but you read like a 22-year-old that spends too much time on 4Chan.

From my memory, Marc Andreessen had a series of somewhat recent tweets criticizing the American university system. However, all of his tweets older than say two months or so appear to be automatically deleted. Society in general is probably designed to benefit the upper and upper middle class -- that doesn't strike me as a controversial idea. For example, see the following paper: Class in the 21st century: Asset inflation and the new logic of inequality https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0308518X19873673 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0308518X198736... And here's a tweet from Andreessen on how the college system benefits the upper middle class: https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1513553688060596225 https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1513553688060596225 (https://twitter.com/Mark_J_Perry/status/1513519643876540421 https://twitter.com/Mark_J_Perry/status/1513519643876540421) I would expect that most of us here vaguely qualify as upper middle class. We probably attended competitive schools. Many of us benefited from the largesse of our boomer parents. And even if we're not making FAANG money, and even if we can't quite afford a home suitable for a family in the Bay Area, we probably have make somewhat comfortable incomes, relative to the rest of the population.

Its unfortunate that people like you exist because it sabotages solving problems out of your insecurity of needing to be perceived as “the smartest person in the room”. Your Self trying to reject what I am telling you with cognitive-loops of tropes about me being 22 or being on 4chan, does bot alter the reality that you are quite wrong and as uninformed as your subconscious clearly knows you are. I am not at all one affected by any of what I said, so your dismissal only serves to further delude yourself and possibly misdirect others who are susceptible to your type of manipulation. Also, I am not your daddy or teacher, stop trying to waste my time to provide the proofs you will simply dismiss, because you are too lazy to do the work yourself and discovering contradictory truths would require you to face that deep insecurity that drives you. Better keep believing you know best and are the smartest guy in the room. You sound like a flat earth type, demanding I provide all the proofs you can easily find yourself, just to dismiss them out of hand because they don’t align with your self-image and preconceived notions. I know. Its a strong mental cage you are in.

  Bullshit takes a magnitude more effort to refute than it does to create. You made erroneous, ridiculous claims, and - when rightfully challenged - dismissed any doubts as "not my homework," Your trolling is demonstrably ineffective, that is why the assumption that you are a 22 year old 4channer has merits - you have the smell of 4chan, but none of the skill, much like the losers that still grace the place now. If you were better at trolling, you would had been given more credit.
