The Ivy League is Overrated
00:00:00.000 | I think what would be much more valuable than all of this is for companies to hire from a whole
00:00:06.000 | bunch of different schools than they do today and to break the back of this elitist culture
00:00:11.920 | we have around certain schools. There's not necessarily an advantage for studying physics
