I assume they're deleting your stuff because they think you're Eugine_Nier (who has been banned). If you indeed are Eugine_Nier, please go away. If you are not Eugine_Nier, I guess you'll need to convince a moderator of that (or give up this account and make another one).

I assume what you're replying to is from user math. No possible way is that anyone other than Eugine.

Yeah, I agree, but at the time I hadn't been following this user closely, so I figured I'd allow the possibility of mistaken identity.

I'm sure I'm not saying anything you haven't already given consideration to, but you probably should not feed the troll.

So now whole threads are disappearing because they point out the disappearing of comments. Seriously, what are the mods afraid of?

No, they are disappearing because the mods happen to enforce the ban and delete the post of the banned people.

That has been suggested.

comment by compartmentalization · 2017-02-27T20:06:30.107Z · LW(p) · GW(p)

How many people could we educate this way, for the price of having one study at USA.

Many, but that assumes that the actual quality of the education matters (the most), and not something else, like the opportunity to meet other people who will make up the elite class in the future.

It would even make sense for US citizens to study abroad for economical reasons, if they can't get admitted to an elite US school, but how many future political leaders aren't elite school graduates?

Imagine a 3rd world country, where if the person graduates their best university, most people with real influence won't even be aware of its existence, or of the existence of the city where it's located. How much can that person do? How much more could they do with better networking opportunities?

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.
