He was a year behind me, and I believe a 13 year-old junior. Five years behind emotionally.

Curtis’s real acolyte is Peter Thiel. Which means he probably has Musk’s ear too. He is one sick puppy. These tech bros believe being smart makes them into great philosopher kings. Curtis is simply offering Thiel and others a textbook they can reference to justify their might-makes-right bullshit. This transcends party. It’s a Silicon Valley thing. They truly believe a few smart people should run everything, and no one else should vote and then everything will be just fine.
