>>I
attend an Ivy League school and I thoroughly believe -- no, I KNOW --
that I and my peers are more cultured, more clever, more interesting,
smarter, funnier, sexier, and simply BETTER than everyone else. I am
not trolling. I haven't even bothered to reads this thread before
posting this because I already know that it'll just be a bunch of
uninformed angry faggotry.
I definitely agree with this sentiment, but the differences are quantitative, not qualitative.
She'll
definitely have a 1-2 advantage over most over 4 year graduates in the
job market. Of course this depends a lot on what she majors in, whether
she goes to grad school/or whatever, but the liberal democratic order
is totalizing. She is not the Overman, nor is anyone else. There is no
essential difference between her and the masses beyond a difference in
IQ, health, a good work ethic, and money (in the future). The pathos of
distance that once existed between the aristocracy and the people in
the ancien regime is gone. People in the Ivy League still listen to pop
music, enjoy bathroom jokes, and generally dislike Ingmar Bergman
films.
Even if do ever manage to make it into politics,
they'll still be a nerve-wreck for half their lives trying to serve
"the people".
There are huge differences, I've experienced them, but the essence is the same. |
