YALE STUDENT TO TOM FRIEDMAN: Actually, We Yale Grads Really Are Better Than Other People

Another perpetual adolescent. A self centered sophomore, in the classic sense.
Can't distinguish opinion from reality.

Some Yale grads are better than most other people. But the same can be said of many other grads from institutions noteworthy and modest.

The standard of that judgment is how others view you. One of the universal yardsticks of a "better" person is modesty, and by that measure the good human being always stands out, and the loudmouths fail.

But we live in a society of contradictions and illusion.

Members of Congress and bureaucrats feel the same way. Until hubris sets in. Then many become prison fodder, or mental institution residents, alcoholics, druggists or all three.

In essence, he is acknowledging the nepotism amongst the “family” of ivy league-rs. It's not the content of one's character, but the colors on their diploma.
