		Bootvis on May 25, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Thiel Fellowship: 20 Under 20 Winners Released The editing is horrible but the list is impressive. I'm surprised to see so many having an academic background. I thought the whole point was that the fellowship is before an a academic education.

I think Bootvis' point is that Thiel seems just as swayed by academic credentials as the rest of us. How many busking hobos made the 20?
