Crisis in Perception

Excellent Sheep — Deep Dive | How Elite Education Produces Conformity


Listen Later

This episode of Crisis in Perception explores Excellent Sheep by William Deresiewicz, a critique of elite American education and its effects on identity, purpose, and leadership.

Rather than cultivating independent thinkers, elite institutions often produce anxious, risk-averse conformists optimized for credentialed success. This Deep Dive examines how pressure, resume culture, and technocratic values shape students long before adulthood.
