It's a joke. The idea were going to make everything dirty by letting average intellect people in. It's already swimming with well born people with average intellect. The admission process has been a myth ever since they could fill their entire year with 4.00 kids....and chose not to.

Maybe if this was ONLY a post-graduate school for the elite they could maintain their prestige...but no one really has the same respect for these institutions anymore.

This is why Plato thought it was a good idea to remove kids from their parents at age 10 and then raise them together as a group away from them. That's the only way to honestly measure who is worth leading . The way the system works now --- it's just pedigree.

If you know your boss is more capable than you -- your much more willing to be a good worker bee. Elites have become so irreversibly convinced of their superiority they can't even see it. Their dumbass kids aren't respectable and there is a good chance they aren't either...its generally only the guy that originally made the money (usually a guy) that has anything exceptional about them. Sometimes not even them.

Edit: inb4 massive "revelation" that elite kids don't even do their own school work half the time and have that shit basically outsourced to essay companies and private tutors.
