I know what I'm about to say is against the grain, but access/privilege can be obtained by the best and brightest regardless of the circumstances. That's really the only sure way to find them.
The common person doesn't see all the opportunities and stays right where they came from and that's not really who we should be elevating in my opinion. Of course someone born with privilege would naively feel guilty that others weren't born with it, but that completely misunderstands what privilege is. If someone born into privilege feels guilty, it's probably because they don't deserve it, and I'm speaking as someone who wasn't born with much. I think I'm just barely above average enough to get away from the crap I came from.
There I said it.
- kjs3 3y agoI know what I'm about to say will surprise you, but believing "if your life sucks it's because you're inferior to me and you deserve it" isn't insightful or true.
- namaria 3y agoCurious how every one believes to be above average. Not to mention assuming humans can be ranked on a single dimension.
