Don't know if I was the one you read but it's something I've been saying. We have the exact opposite of what Turchin described - we have a proliferation of elite positions and a complete lack of elite people. Turchin described a surplus of elite people with a lack of positions.

But those aren't the "elite" positions - those are positions that the "elite" (priestly class, really) look at as being grubby merchant servants - the priests hate them out of envy for the money but look down on them for working for something other than "make the world better".

Hence why every Silicon Valley startup isn't "we're going to serve customers and get rich" - instead it's "we're making the world a better place" - and they try to distance themselves from actual (ugh) money as much as possible. Collecting money directly from customers? Tacky.
