Escaping Class Struggle and the Role of Eugenics

This chapter discusses a scene from a book where Leylin Stanford, Sr. and Jane Stanford have to leave Knob Hill due to confrontations with angry workers and set up a horse breeding farm. It explores the theme of eugenics and racial hierarchy, the historical period of Palo Alto and class struggle, and the role of individuals like Hoover in participating in other countries' imperial projects. The conversation also delves into the influence of David Star Jordan, the founder of Stanford University, and his views on eugenics, anti-imperialism, and pacifism.
