we mentioned this in the context of this and affirmative action, as you know, two things that were going to get challenged and would probably lose. And unfortunately, it turns out we're right on one and it looks like we you know, we may be right on the other as well because I think the affirmative action case will get will get.View on YouTube
Explanation

The “then-pending” higher-education affirmative action case in 2022 refers to Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. On June 29, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and UNC violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, ruling those affirmative action policies unconstitutional.

News and institutional summaries consistently describe this as the Court striking down or rejecting affirmative action in college admissions, effectively ending the use of race-conscious admissions policies of the type at issue nationwide. (news.harvard.edu)

Because Chamath predicted that the Supreme Court would strike down affirmative action policies in that higher-education case, and the Court in fact did so in its 2023 decisions, the prediction was right.
