On: Intel outsources Core i3 to TSMC's 5nm process

When I was in college it became very apparent what the fraternity and sorority system was- a way for the elite and upper class to ensure that their children met other rich children and kept their money and power incestuously consolidated. Kids and hearts don’t care about class, the only way they can ensure a union is make it where pretty much the only people the kids meet are other elites and 1%.

Interesting idea. In this mental model, are the kids being coerced into joining one of these houses by the parents who want to ensure this?

Because from where I was sitting, the kids were plenty self-motivated by the parties, and the parents had basically no say.
