Much to think about here, but the author should stop and think if he's really looking at the right problem. Like for instance: is it true that people with perfect grades go into medicine so as to not "waste" their score? You know, maybe it is! But don't you agree then, that this is kind of fucked up? Don't they have, like, actual interests? Or actual goals, besides winning in status games? Not even getting rich? And also. Economically speaking, Germany seems to be doing really, really well, despite "only" having their Heidelbergs, their Aachens, their Jenas, their Humboldts, their Colognes etc. Not having it all concentrated in elite-generating hubs seems to be working out quite well for them. And for us in the rest of the world too, considering where the first mRNA vaccine got developed, or considering where we get much of the high precision industrial equipment necessary to make virtually everything impressive that has been made the last decade. Why the hell should Germany have Ivy envy?
