In Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life, author William Deresciewicz talks about elite college admissions and the effect it has on students before and after starting college, how society tries to trap us in a rat race and what we can do to get out. I talk with him about everything from affirmative action, social media, and NFTs to what it means to be a meritocracy, how students cope with mental health issues and what causes them.
