Sounds exactly like the sort of elitism he warns against.
First, Larry warns us against "anti-elitism" not against "elitism".
He's an advocate of elitism.
Ah.
I think your summary of his approach is unfair to him
as well. Larry
would react very badly to the notion that he would ever say "I have more
degrees than you, etc." That's not like him at all.
As I said, I hoped someone would correct me if I was wrong. Again, I
apologise.
Larry and I have our disagreements but I feel that his
impact in the
early years was substantial and should be respected.
Agreed.
