Every important thing is important precisely because some small group has managed to pwn it and *prevent* normies from generally accessing it, via institutions, subcultural modes etc. Normies also don't care about how any tech works, how bills are started, or how wars are started

You only let normies have a piece of the action when a) you can predict how they'll react and you can control that reaction b) all the really important pieces of control/leverage have been used up and the "crowd" is the last source of control.

This is very validating tbh, and I’ve seen it to be true; my “weird kid” peers in more than one subculture/environment have turned out to be influential & successful in a way that seemed surreal until I realized “oh, I’ve been in elite environments a lot.”
