Like you might think that abstract intelligence and social intelligence might carry over solidarity instead of making people more shitty in that regard. How does that even work? Why does people like that coast in life while those who they seem lesser than them suffer?
Why would bourgeoise institutions encourage the development of a class conscious world view? The “smartest” STEM students are ironically probably the ones who didn’t manage to land a job, despite their excellent grades, which might have been a radicalizing moment for them, especially when they end up meeting people just as smart as them with no diplomas.
It’s me! (i have awful grades though hehe)
