The $86m rise and fall of Inigo Philbrick
- xkcd-sucks 4y agoFun fact, he attended a summer camp which is dedicated to cultivation of good character in young men of the proper classes* through clean living, hard work, outdoor recreation, etc. For example junior counselors are called "captains of industry", there are weekly talks by counselors on matters of ethics/empathy, electronics are prohibited, all maintenance/cleaning is done by campers, no hot showers nor private toilet stalls, there is a secret society that meets to discuss the spirit of the camp, etc. He did rise to become a "captain of industry" and got a whole bunch of awards mostly related to theater. https://pasquaney.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasqwhite_birch_sum06_100.pdf https://pasquaney.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasqwhite_b... (*) Not like "The Global Elite" or whatever, but like higher-class Americans and a sprinkling of oligarchs' children, not really sure how to categorize it

- oh_sigh 4y agoWhat's wrong with that? Sounds kind of fun IMHO. Clearly the ethics lessons didn't work for this fellow, but I don't think you should write off the entire camp because of that.
- wly_cdgr 4y agoCan't get very mad at a guy who cons this crowd. Good for him, hope he had fun while it lasted
