Sorry!! I should have been much more careful with this potentially incendiary stuff.. I'm not saying all gen-Z are hipsters that's dumb. But that the ("anti-elitist") middle middle class is where we might look for the new breed of "hipsters" to replace those Bernie Bros
Where we are: intellectual polarization is nowhere as marked as in suburban America.. (Remember Tocqueville!!)
>I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America
>Among a multitude of men you will find a selfish, mercantile, and trading taste for the discoveries of the mind, which must not be confounded with that disinterested passion which is kindled in the heart of a few.
I wouldn't listen to Koerner on this. He might have had a great time pre-college? Did he go to schools where each teacher taught every subject?? My examples above didn't even make it to college..
(Geohot tried long after he got famous, --on the prodding of kith+kin AIUI--, straight into gradschool(!!) but then dropped out again.. Poole had a similar path. I personally know dozens of technically brilliant boys who struggled K-12)

(I also may be the wrong person to talk with about this, as I have both a 4-year degree and a trade, thanks to Aristippus' advice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristippus#:~:text=It%20is%20related,of%20a%20shipwreck%2e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristippus#:~:text=It%20is%20r... )
- gsf_emergency_6 9mo agoYes, I had a different idea of "formal" from the Swiss one (which actually approximates the vibe in my current locality better than the UK)
