I'm not a Stanford Graduate. B.S. Sonoma State. M.A. University of San Francisco (after starting at University of Memphis). I hardly lifted a school book in high school and barely graduated as a result. Spent 4 years at JC educating myself.
That said, a month ago I was talking with a friend and fellow entrepreneur. I made a comment about Stanford doing something impressive, and he said "a Stanford guy promoting Stanford, I'm shocked." So I replied telling him I didn't go to Stanford. He replied back saying, "oh, I thought you did." I asked him why, and he said "because you are so smart." I laughed my ass off... Either elite private schools have convinced the masses only smart people come from them, or being on the Cardboard around so many smart people has rubbed off on me. :)
In any case, I do believe we live in a sad and pathetic society. It's build on lies, deceit, and selfishness. It didn't and doesn't have to be this way. If you want to debate me on this, let's have at it over private messaging. I promise to bring many, many receipts.
