One 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.
@anildash Woah, that's so messed up. Also, anyone with a functioning moral compass should realise pretty quickly that in the UK, most of the worst people (with the biggest potential to do harm) come from the "best schools". It's a very broken system.
