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.
(It was Jason Pontin, who of course inevitably rode his journalistic failures into becoming a VC, following the path paved by fellow shitbird white supremacist apologist Jason Calacanis.)
Anyway, one thing I can tell you really definitively is that these guys are very, very afraid of anyone who is not at all afraid of them.
Tim Panton@anildash The whole 'good school' thing has now been comprehensively (:-)) trashed by the damage the Eton boys have done to the UK. (also Milo went to the 3rd best fee paying school in a small city - so your man was wrong on all counts !)
Matþew Bowles@steely_glint @anildash not even fee paying, relatively bog standard Grammar, roughly on a par with where I went which impresses no one
Plus it's been proven repeatedly English fee charging schools are merely good at getting someone into a good uni, where they normally massively underperform
(Vehemently agreeing with you in case it comes across wrong)
Dropped out of one uni, expelled from another, not a good advert
