The conventional wisdom that attending a top-50 school makes you smart is not uttered by bright people. What's changed is that you can't even trust the smart, promising graduates if they don't explicitly denounce DEI when prodded.
It's not even a thing in academic circles. Harvard is the most respected, not the best. I had several ivy League profs in my university.
They all admitted my rink a dink school was better because we wanted to learn and not use our status to get good grades. A history prof pointed out the big names were more for building up a network, not the education or abilities made. This is why the history department started to work on creating networks for job placement outside of academia.
This seems like a foundational pillar of modern liberal orthodoxy.
That is very true. We should listen to the most respected because we put them there. But which We are we talking about?
