I'm okay with small and startup communities using them, I would not want the upper echelons of mainstream society to be gatekept by them?

this is for a higher education school though. I don’t think you’d get this level of granular questions at even the most conservative niche Christian schools, for example. that’s why it more resembles a cult, that’s the kind of place questions like ‘what are your thoughts on tattoos or drinking alcohol’ would be apt

Yeah I agree it's a new form factor that combines some elements of school and some elements of cult. I don't think that's necessarily bad, especially since global cultural homogenization is a top-10 concern and it's good to have some forces pushing in the other direction, and the school aspect makes it more likely that we get a high-quality cult.

Specifically this feels so small, petty and Current Thing coded. Greta? Jordan Peterson? Why are say, a 10x coder's opinions on them relevant to admission. Has a chilling effect no? If I choose wrong or am honest I'm not allowed admission. Perhaps that's my inner neolib projecting, that new things, specifically the Network School or State (ideas I find interesting) can and should have a plurality of thought and ideas but this kind of rhetoric doesn't inspire confidence:

The specific choice of questions I definitely would not do in the same way. It pre-assumes that you're in a particular US-centric twitter bubble, when the ideal is to attract people who have the same underlying goals and values as you, but barely have any idea who Greta Thunberg is.

It looks more like it’s increasing the chances of having a low-quality cult tbh, because it will be mostly people sharing the same algo bubble brain-rot
