apparent

Interesting article, and then at the end you see that this Stanford student is also pursuing his own path to fame and riches — by publishing a forthcoming tell-all book about the apparently seedy underbelly of Stanford. Perhaps he is not so different from his subjects, at least in terms of his end goals?

Interesting that "recruitment" happens right after age of consent is reached. I guess eighteen year olds have some special intellectual quality that a twenty year old would lack?

Naïve, willing to work for nothing, likely a nepo baby with connections, arrogant, and with a sense of entitlement what will help drive a jumbo liquidity event. They’re the perfect prey for VCs.
