The takeaway from this story is a condemnation of US higher education tbh. Exquisitely gifted 13 year old graduates from college with a major in physics & a minor in math — wants to apply for PhD programs but his parents can’t afford it https://abc11.com/elliott-tanner-college-graduate-university-of-minnesota-physics-major/11788944/
PhD programs are kinda like jobs in that the university usually pays you. They don't pay well so that students are confined to the like-minded, narrowly professionally apolitically focused social circle they can access in cheap campus housing, but if you are admitted to a PhD program you don't have to pay tuition "out of pocket" in the US.
