This whole discourse of "elitism" is weird because evidently the bar you have to clear to be part of the "elite" is really low. Basically, just get an education, move to a prosperous city, and get a job with good pay, and that's it.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1439669559926013952 …

Note that I'm not talking about 'elitism', but the fact that the people researching these topics are university professors, lawyers, people at well-funded foundations, and former tech executives. I mean 'elite' in a neutral sense here, they are at the top of the social ladder.

Sure, I understand, and I broadened the term to include the discourse of "elitism" that we see in the news everyday, which is maybe unfair to you. Sorry for that. Your post just reminded me of something that I'd been thinking about for a while.

Isn't it? How large a fraction of the population can be "elite"? And if that fraction can be as large as, say, 1/3, shouldn't their opinions get just as much weight as any other group of similar size?
