Having known a a few people who went through it then direct to Oxfridge, all it seems to lead into is a very preconceived notion that you’re smarter than other people because you went to “this school”. In fact I’ve found myself adding context and debating the opinions of some friends who clearly believe that because they went to Oxford/Eton they know everything there is to know about X. Actually they seem over intellectualised individuals, and not particularly smarter than the average pop just more well informed (there is a difference, they don’t necessarily have the critical thinking and creative expression of ie a Boston comedian). Proof of this is that Etonites aren’t in front of London startups innovating, they’re just funding them most of the time.

They all know each other as well and it’s a bit of a “blob” in terms of opinions. You hear from them the Telegraph or The Times type of opinions.
