And this is likely to become even more out of balance as college enrollment declines and there are smaller and smaller cohorts of freshmen as fertility continues to decline.
I mean this is a place where the founder just wrote a blog post about being a billionaire. I'll never be a billionaire, thats for sure.
But I genuinely believe that pursuing that goal is vanity, bad for people mentally and "spiritually" and bad for the world.
