[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting to me how openly cynical the founder of Crimson is. I suppose it’s capitalism at work, but turning a kid into a luxury good to be purchased does feel icky to me, personally. And a bit sad. [/quote] I know. That was the worst thing about the article. The founder seemed like a really motivated bright guy and all he's doing with his talent is groom rich kids to get into Ivies with maybe a small pro bono angle along the way. It's sad to think about how structured these kids' lives must be. I spent a lot of my youth reading about anything and everything I was interested in. This process turns kids into mini-adults before they are done growing.[/quote] The founder said he didn’t go to a single party during his time at Harvard. What was he chasing? What kind of life are these kids chasing? What is the point of living like that?[/quote]
