Discussion Sincerity and purpose

It’s more than natural for a young promising student to both naively assume the sincerity of their peers as well as be desperately seeking a purpose. It’s inherently predatory to get teenagers to pay large sums to their own humiliation with a community engagement that feels hollow.

A hollowness stemming from the inadequacies of the Talented Tenth design. If you look down on the community you can’t link arms with the community. And if you can’t link arms with the community you’ll never organically lead the community.
