Description
10 million people in the city and you can't find a single ordinary person to work in the newspapers or work in the skyscrapers right we've developed a system where we basically funnel kids from rich families into private schools and elite jobs without ever really stopping to ask are these guys any fucking good and listen I can guarantee you in the majority of cases these guys they know how to look smart they know how to talk smart but they never started thinking once in their life they just walked into these spaces you know I mean so then the end result is it's not a conspiracy it's a fucking idiocracy honestly that's what it is like it's a bunch of guys that well wear nice suits and have nice haircuts patting each other on the back and saying aren't we all so fucking smart and being wrong year after year after year after year after year and I almost wish it was a conspiracy because the truth is in a way more horrific than that which is just there's kids all over this city that are are in those skyscrapers and they're being wasted.
This short presents a blistering critique of elite circles that channel gifted young people into private schools and glossy, high-status roles without ensuring they are genuinely capable or contributing meaningfully. The speaker argues that the system rewards appearances,the suits, the haircuts, the polished talk,while failing to assess real talent or impact. He describes a widespread, though not conspiratorial, culture of incompetence masquerading as intelligence, where those in influential positions continually miss the mark year after year. The result, he contends, is a society that wastes human potential on skyscrapers and corporate machinations rather than nurturing true ability. The takeaway is a call for accountability and a shift away from elitist gatekeeping toward recognizing and developing real skill across all social strata.
