I feel a little alienation by the emphasis on elite education from both sides of this kind of debate. Not that there’s necessarily much that can be changed there, it’s probably just the nature of the game mostly. But I find a little odd that the “be more normal [with career capital]” camp presumes normal to include being in the upper middle class of the Anglo world. That’s usually the sort of person making the critique. Though I could see a blue-collar worker levying it too.
Honestly I paused on this point for a bit as I was writing the post. The main reason I left it is because I didn’t want to open up that debate, as EA so obviously has a strategy of “target elite universities”.

But I TOTALLY feel you on this one.
