Here's the punchline: pre-K *does nothing*. Any cognitive or educational benefits it lends kids are all gone by the time they hit 2nd grade

Elites are engaged in increasingly savage competition with each other over a completely delusional worldview

Since the prizes awarded by these institutions are 100% fake, this means the institutions are 100% fake as well: and yet as @toad_spotted describes in this piece, the supposedly brightest people in our society are increasingly subservient to them

Hence fake elites

It's no coincidence that "the admissions office are presumed true and righteous altogether": since the prizes they offer aren't real, their judgment on who deserves a seat at the table can be 100% arbitrary

As long as people keep buying into the delusion it will only get worse

This is one of those things that's individually liberating but socially horrifying

If you're a parent, you don't have to compete in this insane process, your kids will be just fine

But the order your kids will grow up in will be run by the people produced by this process

The solution to this should be very simple: if we believed in The Science!, we could just look at the results, and... see they're not there

Since this can't happen, it's clear that belief in education as a great leveler is more important to the regime than science or results.
