@dg_myers @tonywoodlief Right. Milton's "fit but few". I have no trouble calling that an elite.
@dg_myers @tonywoodlief The elite of Joyce critics is a narrow elite & doesn't come with many perks but it is an elite.

Wrong again. You might become a prof, perhaps even in Ivy League, and then you could prance around like elitist.

Knowledge of anything does not enroll you in a party, a social elite. It is (repeat after me) for its own sake.

I can trade on my knowledge, but then I am no longer using it as knowledge. It itself is nothing but itself.

@dg_myers@tonywoodlief But if you have job based on knowledge & pass on knowledge to students, that's good, no?
