It was cruel what they did to this kid.
The fake biography they invented for him was SO absurd, it was just begging for an Emperor’s New Clothes resolution, and now he’s getting it.
He shouldn’t have gone along with it - but his rise to elite academic status was dreamed up, planned out, and executed by others.
I feel bad for him.
Zackly. No one gets that far without going along and getting along. But it was all just one long con to build him up to tear him down. Sad.
