We’re in Oxfordshire, can’t say I notice any toxic University culture, but then generally Oxbridge grads mostly end up doing very little in life.

I know about 6 Oxbridge graduates and they haven’t really done much with their lives.

An analogy is a friend of mine, when we were in our 20’s he was incredibly good looking, so much so that gorgeous women would come over and chat him up. He took his looks for granted, shagged around, but never got serious.

He’s now in his 40’s, unmarried and struggling, meanwhile average looking me, had to work a little harder to pull women, appreciated the effort, so didn’t take it for granted.

I have a very enjoyable, successful life because I have no natural gifts.

i can confirm this as i stand here with no lady or mini-mes crazily running about at this late, middle, stage of my life

but on the other hand i suspect you were not gifted with the ability to write software or do architecture or some other equally "unsexy" form of employment circa 1985

or cursed with an aversion to following along with unreasonable retarded mainstream rhetoric

i didn't even get my CS degree because i was so pissed off at being told to conform at my highschool, spent all of my 20s and half of my 30s rebelling until i realised

I did know who to find the right people to employ that created much of the technology of the early Internet.

Also LCD displays, which my Father's company built and we helped evolve the technology, along with solenoids, stepper motors, Japanese HMI (human machine interfaces) or keyboards as you and I would call it. We also created data centres, and the part of the technology that spies on us today. HELLO NSA, how yer doing?

We also created electromagnetic displays, which had a short, successful life before the blue LED was invented, which we were not involved with.

yeah, i've bumped into enough smart guys in my life (one was an optoelectronic engineer developing optical networking tech back circa 2001) and been around the scene long enough to know

the harder problem is how to get wise people to be the ones the less brainy listen to... it's a really hard problem, probably a pedagogical problem relaly

You'll be pleased to hear I had to Google pedagogical 😂

I remember seeing serious articles from the MSM trying to convince the normies that trying to understand complex topics, like climate change or the economy was "dangerous".

demagogues have always been the enemies of imperators
