@pmarca Stanford and MIT are private universities. They can do whatever they want. You say that "they systematically cut most of the children of the Trump voter base out of any realistic prospect of access to higher education and corporate America," yet it is obvious that Trump's base is not interested in higher education to begin with. You say “They declared war on 70% of the country and now they’re going to pay the price." Why do you think that Trump's base is 70% of the country? It almost seems to me that you have a personal beef with Stanford. Is it possible that your own experiences via your wife are tainting your views to a degree? I also grew up in Wisconsin, so you and that in common. It seems like you are trying to speak for people based on some assumptions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/07/12/marc-andreessen-private-chat-universities-diversity/?location=alert

Does this guy really think admitting a few extra minorities due to affirmative action policies resulted in excluding "the entire trump base"? Or is it he's upset that lazy trump voters can't compete with harder working and brighter (children of) immigrants? What is it about right-wing billionaires and petty grievances

It seems pretty odd to me cause Trump's base is generally less inclined towards higher education to begin with.

Need to keep the Trump Base riled up to keep them voting against their interests and for the billionaire class I guess.

Well, Marc made these comments in a private chat. I'm not sure if he was doing so to rile up people. But I guess giving Trump additional reasons to go after education is not ideal and I'm not even sure how it would ultimately help with American innovation like Marc seems to say he cares about.
