This seems to relate to the false Lefty idea that rich people are rich because they get lucky. Steve Jobs? Lucky. Henry Ford? Lucky. Why isn’t some super-woke ultra-pierced millenial NOT rich? They’re just unlucky.

If success in life is just about luck (where you’re born, who your parents are, who your second grade teacher was, etc.) then you might as well throw everything out the window and just randomly give people admission to college.

This is just a way for irresponsible people to shrug and say “I’m not responsible for my failures.”

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.” ~ Robert Heinlein

In woke theology, education and ability are the result of training, not nature.

So random admissions will work just as well.
