Marc Andreessen: if you're the parents of a smart kid where I grew up [rural Wisconsin] and you think you're going to get them into a top university in this country, you're fooling yourself...

What level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and immigration have basically cut out of the loop for the last 50 years?

Marc: Nobody wants to talk about, but I've started to talk about the intersection of DEI and immigration that has really warped our perceptions on high skilled immigration over the last 50 years.

You look at the foreign enrollment rates at the top universities, which went from 2 or 3 or 4 percent 50 years ago or whatever to 27% or 30% or 50%...

Joe: Columbia's over half.

Marc: 70% or whatever it is. And so there's been this massive transformation in who gets educated. And then there's been this massive transformation of who gets admitted through affirmative action, as we now know it, DEI.

This goes straight to the political divide in the country, which is, if you're parents of a kid where I grew up [rural Wisconsin] and you've got a smart kid and you think you're going to get them into, you know, a top university in this country, like you're fooling yourself.

There is this really fundamental question which is, what level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and immigration have basically cut out of the loop for the last 50 years?

And how long can we have this story to everybody in the Midwest and in the South that says, sorry, because of historical oppression, your kids are SOL.

Jewish enrollment across the Ivies have dropped sharply in the last 15 years. Only Brown is the exception. I know you anti semites blame everything on Jews but give it a break. It's the white descendants of Unitarians who are behind most of these demographic changes.

“ultimately they are just the sum of the people in them”

Exactly. Why do you think University of Utah and North Dakota State have outperformed the “Ivies” in every objective metric since 2018? Its because they’re majority white.

It's cool that he's talking about this publicly. But if you're a billionaire who is set for life, and genuinely trying to solve this problem, you can do a lot more than bringing up what already happened. The past is the past, we can't change it

You can call out the people who are currently the problem: Indians. Our enemies who are displacing white Americans in high-skill jobs that are critical to the national interest are not some kind of un-nameable abstraction. We know who they are. They're Indians

Andreesen and others need to be calling out the Indian problem explicitly and taking action against them. Everyone in this country hates Indians and wants them gone. This is not a remotely controversial or dangerous position to take

The first public figure who explicitly names and calls to remove Indians will become overwhelmingly popular. It's crown-in-the-gutter territory. It's in the self-interest of an ambitious person and it's also the right thing to do

Lonsdale is not the right guy

In 2023, Lonsdale, writer Bari Weiss, and others co-founded the University of Austin. Lonsdale and his collaborators described the school as dedicated to freedom of thought and discussion, and criticized academia for treating faculty "like thought criminals" and suppressing open inquiry among students.[38][39]

This is where everything goes off the rails. Everybody online wants to be extremist and get attention, but the solution is a moderate position. No need to hate Indians or denigrate immigrants. We live in the US and the US government sends billions to these universities, and the universities should serve the interests of US citizens, not globalist lib or corporatist interests. If that means fewer Indian and Chinese students, so be it. We can continue to love and respect them from across the ocean.

Harvard now has this financial aid policy where if you're actually poor you get an auto free ride there. The natural impact of this is that they significantly prefer foreign students which get 0 financial aid automatically to poor anyone. Minorities get a bump due to DEI, but poor white people? Ha. And for people just above the minimum income to get the full ride schools like HYP simply aren't worth it over flagship state Us, especially in the South where they cost almost nothing in-state.

ECs were always bullshit except for the absolute best and most competitive athletes. Doing community service or starting some bullshit startup was always just kids playing make believe with a ton of unverifiable or just boring unremarkable claims on their application. Activities should only matter if the school is recruiting a kid to play sports or they actually accomplished something notable that adds to the prestige of the school (ex: wrote a NYT bestseller, acted on a popular TV show, won an Olympic medal, etc)

Bro actually sitting down and working for a non-profit and learning how it works/how it interacts with the community is one of the most enriching things a young college-bound man or woman can do

I agree that just shuffling around doing busy-work isn't ideal but the potential upsides are immense and most importantly it shows an inclination to civic virtue (something that was a pillar of the collegiate mission in prior times). Colleges are not supposed to be raising spoiled little consumer-knights of Capital, business degree mercenary ragazzi, they are supposed to be cultivating the virtues and values that produce the ideal citizen (and, in some cases, man before God) within their pupils

Given how rich and exclusive the median Harvard admit is, sitting around giving money away and forming charities will be all they'll be doing

Right the elites of this country are all post scarcity and will never work a day in their lives. All the more reason coveted spots ought to go to them.

The real problem with ivies are nepos. DEI is a drop in the bucket. It's legacy admits that are ruining everything.

And the main reason schools fight this so much is that prestige and rankings are tied to how exclusive and rich the student body is. There is no academic difference between Harvard and a directional school. But the main reason businesses and institutions prefer a HYP grad is because of prestige. It's the idea that it's good school. And that idea comes from history, research/achievements, influence, and exclusivity. Everyone knows that Ivies pick students based on how rich and famous their parents are. The entire point of the institution is to perpetuate the elite class. So yeah, they're not letting randos in the door in the same way that they aren't letting influencers into the co-op or brown people into the South Hampton Bathing Corp.

I grew up in what is now a $1.5 million dollar home. Not sure if that's rich but it wasn't poor.

Harvard is only 14% legacy and it seems obvious they almost all meet the academic standards.

OK now do non legacy but their parents work for Goldman Sachs. There is a ton of scholarship on this. Or their parents are sultans of something somewhere. It's all nepo even if not legacy.

I can't remember who proposed it - but it seems to me the best solution should have a minimum academic standard. So for Harvard, maybe you need a 1450 SAT score and a 3.9 GPA- or whatever it is.

Then you take everyone who made that standard and said "You met the requirements to get into Harvard."

Then if you have 1,000 spots and 10,000 people who met the standard, you hold a lottery and those 1,000 people get to go to Harvard.

That way, (i) the "rejects" know it was luck, (ii) the applicants know it was luck and they aren't god's gift, and (iii) you don't have grown adults debating whose personal essay (written by chat GTP / a college consultant) make 18 year old kids a better person than other 18 year old kids.

That would defeat the entire purpose of perpetuating the entrenched aristocracy.

Increase the difficulty of the SAT to what it was back in the early 90s. Give URMs vouchers to pay for one SAT prep course. Then admit those with highest score. This is the only fair way.
