It also takes a borderline impossibly strong will to have someone look at you, say "You're brilliant, and I want to give you money", and reply "No." Especially when there are others around you who (for their own profit) are echoing the same things.

I decided in undergrad that Honors programs exhibited a lot of the same characteristics. Kids in those tracks are treated with velvet gloves by professors, come to believe their own superiority, are inevitably unprepared for the real world / a colleague proving them wrong.

Hype trains create their own RDFs that effect even the subjects.
