Transhumanistic Manifest-Panspermialism
No longer a huge part of my philosophy, but fun to say

As many as 15 percent of freshmen at America’s top schools are white students who failed to meet their university’s minimum standards for admission, according to Peter Schmidt, deputy editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education. These kids are “people with a long-standing relationship with the university,” or in other words, the children of faculty, wealthy alumni and politicians.

According to Schmidt, these unqualified but privileged kids are nearly twice as common on top campuses as Black and Latino students who had benefited from affirmative action.

Ten myths about affirmative action (via linzyxxxxx)

I’m a witness to this, not just on college campuses, but at high school preparatory schools, special programs, etc. If you have money, you can get in anywhere. — ForeverLiberal

Just because legacy admissions are stupid doesn’t mean affirmative action isn’t stupid as well.

They’re both stupid.

Admission standards should be based on achievement, not politics. Politics and demographic “adjustment” have no place in college admissions.
