>Then imagine a fully equipped university that isn't filled with rich kids but with the brightest.

Who's gonna pay for it?



Technically, the industry should afford to.

Commoditization of education so brightest kids can get the best of it is a net benefit to the industry.

But as long as industry is filled with dumbfuck MBAs it won't happen.


Isn't that pretty much what Caltech, IIT, the University of Tokyo or Cambridge or Oxford are?

No legacy admissions. No quotas. Large populations trying to get in through entrance exams and school performance?

(Lots of rich kids wind up at those places, but they have worked for it)


Who pays for the MBAs clogging up our economy?


The students by going into debt?


At least one was clandestinely funded.
