Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.
Data from a tiny handful of schools that isn't measuring the variable at issue and a few thin, secondhand anecdotes. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

when elites want to complain about other elites, could they just leave us out of it?
We just had weeks of "how can they think Bari is good at anything?" discourse, so I'm going to have to require that people flip their framing and express surprise if billionaires are impressed by someone who isn't a moron
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Lauren Boebert is a simpleton so at first it surprised me she could get pressed by the president, attorney general, and head of FBI but still hold out. Then I replaced the titles with being pressed by Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel, and sure she could hold out against those incompetents.

Has anybody announced a run against one of the senate quislings yet? I know it’s at least 3 years out but they would instantly have more money than the incumbent and seeing that amount might scare some of those toadies into doing their job
