From my perspective (writing from Down Under) this is a very parochial shit-show.
The most important question is how do either the intakes and graduates of the Ivies compare to their peers in China and Russia? If Andrei Martyanov is to be believed, one would expect them to compare poorly.
The education systems in China and Russia are altogether free from the ideological and political trends at work in the USA throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The dumbing down of education in general, confusion over the aims of education, contests over the curriculum and the misallocation of opportunity by class and race must inevitably have an adverse impact.
Dissidents should take comfort from the fact that the Ivies are incapable of managing admissions with any integrity. Compromised standards of admission to the Ivies guarantees further erosion in the competence and reliability of the US elite. They also guarantee failure in the competition with China and Russia in research and development (above all in quantum computing, aerospace and biotech).
The US long ago chose to prioritise Civil Rights ideologies over education. Predictably, this has fostered racial cronyism and nepotism. It is inevitable (and no intrinsic injustice) that the forces of Woke will disrupt the present situation to the advantage of the most forceful and aggressive aspirants to the existing elite.
The smart thing would be to abandon the Ivies to their fate and focus on the dissemination of knowledge and skill to those most suitable. Red states should build their own alternative institutions. Red state dissidents should foster study abroad. The true intrinsic value of Ivy diplomas can be exposed easily enough: the ultimate metric for human capital is the capacity/skill of individuals.
The opinion is suffused with polite fictions (normal for legal opinions of course), chief of which is the fiction that the benefit provided by Ivies to minorities is a superior education. To be sure, the Ivies boast some of the best professors, but the measurable benefits undoubtedly result from network effects and proximity to institutions of power and wealth. For this reason, the Ivies cannot be abandoned but must rather be infiltrated.
Polite? Absurd more like it. Further proof of how inward looking, smug and provincial Panem on the Potomac really is.
I agree with you. Infiltration is essential, but it is not sufficient. Alternatives are needed to develop countervailing power over time. A capable counter-elite needs to be cultivated. Also a capable sub-elite.
Ultimately, the nation (or at least substantial sub-national groups) need to become ungovernable. No infiltrators into the elite (or turncoat 'Dark Elves') can match the impact of ungovernability amongst the masses.
It’s interesting to note that we really are different peoples separated by a common language. An astute an observer as Philip is mystified at our most mundane commonplaces. Education in America has been considered questionable or worthless to employers who must have results for at least a generation. The Ivy’s are only about connections, Harvard is long known for automatic 🅰️’s.
Harvard is a Hedge Fund with a school attached.
Never mind the rest of our colleges. They’re just businesses, very exploitative businesses. That’s it.
PHILIP SCB is in CHICAGO, he understands Ungovernable at a level that you will never hopefully grasp. As for this Ultimately business, look behind you at penultimate. Too little too late.
Captain Smith; It’s a bit late to reduce 🚢 speed, the 🧊 Iceberg done been hit.
Do you think SCOTUS just tried to SCRAM the Civil Rights Reactor (insert control rods in emergency 🚨 shutdown) because the Justice’s are “Conservative”?⁉️🤡
Here’s what is happening; the DC 🇺🇸 Ship 🚢 is sinking and there’s not enough boats 🛶. SCOTUS is making their donors happy for the last 💰 payoffs, while the Ivy🌱 league HR and Corporate HRs abandon all restraint
.... all restrictions left and right are abandoned! The Left is cracking out (I refer to rock Cocaine) the Ivy’s, the Right as it exists at the DC level is SCOTUS and it’s tossing it’s meaningless rulings at THEIR donors and the ✝️ peasants.
DC is cleaning out the safe 🗃💰
Here ! Have a now worthless Ivy Degree! You’ll have connections!
You’re now CONNECTED- to the Tsar in January 1917 🤣 (he was deposed in February).
SCOTUS tosses 🇺🇸✝️ American Catholic Church -call them what they ARE- 🇺🇸 Papist SCOTUS Bulls at the trusting ✝️ peasants who have prayed and labored so long... 🙏🇺🇸✝️ ...
(The next thing you know the Buffalo 🦬 Bills will win a Superbowl, my 89 year old Mother deserves one, but I digress).
You’re a witness to history!
The USSA is collapsing at the center. Hopefully the nukes don’t go off....
Now I use humor but I’m on the level (a privilege of my race ☘️)

France also has a purely merit-based system, no?

As Philip said “The smart thing would be to abandon the Ivies to their fate”
It’s NOT EVEN A CHOICE
And it’s perfect Justice.
Let these assholes bring Guyana 🇬🇾 to their Ivy Jonestowns.

In fact you never heard of Hispanic either
What SCB is really trying to say is Ron Unz is BAP
