If it’s all about contacts and not about education, couldn’t we save the costs of university? I guess, we couldn’t, because an elite university is not about education, but about costly signalling.
But then it’s quite counter-intuitive to suggest that costly signalling (wasting tons of money just to signal that you have the ability to waste tons of money) is effective altruism.
