Anil DashOne thing I think about sometimes is the time a decade or so ago when the editor of the MIT Tech Review scolded me for being critical of Milo Yiannopolis because Milo “went to a good school” (some British shit that probably means a lot to them but I can’t even remember what it was) and therefore couldn’t actually be awful. That was one of those turning points where I realized I would never actually get elevated to a certain level of culture or visibility, and I was quite content with that.
Matt Wilcox@anildash "He went to a good XYZ" is always a red flag about the values and critical thinking capability of whoever is talking.
@mattwilcox I mean, the guy edited a magazine published by a “prestige” university; he *has* to buy into that narrative.
