meh neither of these are really true in my experience

Are all the Ivy Leagues the best? Nah, they all lag behind in something, but to deny that they're fantastic institutions for the most part is just silly IMO

>parents didn't raise you to be multilingual

If I had to raise children they'd speak at least 4 languages and play at least one instrument. Force it on them early and they will be grateful for it when they grow up.

Thinking of intellectualism as a competition is your first mistake. You should compete only with former versions of yourself.

Sadly my parents are poor and I have a passion for classical music that never got and never will be fulfilled. I will be forever a middle class wage slave.
