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.
