Education, in the broadest sense, is what makes people think they want what they want.

I know what I'm about to say is against the grain, but access/privilege can be obtained by the best and brightest regardless of the circumstances. That's really the only sure way to find them.

The common person doesn't see all the opportunities and stays right where they came from and that's not really who we should be elevating in my opinion. Of course someone born with privilege would naively feel guilty that others weren't born with it, but that completely misunderstands what privilege is. If someone born into privilege feels guilty, it's probably because they don't deserve it, and I'm speaking as someone who wasn't born with much. I think I'm just barely above average enough to get away from the crap I came from.

There I said it.
