  • Elitism angers those who will never excel at anything. Elitism supports development and the pursuit of excellence in those willing to work hard.

  • As this debate is about politics. The true reform of politics will come with Geniocracy.

    The intelligent should be leading this planet, not the lawyer with the most experience. The study of law is no longer about justice, it is about money.

  • Sure elitism should be a prized title, But not in politics right now. Obama is a wannabe elitist, who denotes him as an elitist anyway? He's not the best, or even remotely close.

  • @lightintheireyes Actually it does in most cases, someone having a special skill and a right mindset that others may not have that which qualifies that person to be in that position of power and authority in the first place is the very definition of that word.

  • @vfIskullangel and what proof do you have that your intelligence is any superior?

  • @wendighoul Good Point and so true.

  • @Keysteeze That's why Monarchies exist and for good reason.

  • @GTCism There are some people who should be in positions of power,authority and influence not just anyone,because when the right people are in charge things work well as opposed to just any john doe because he's "one of us" inequality is a fact of life as well it should be and no proper functioning society can exist without it.Some people are born with certain talents and have the wisdom that others don't have which makes them qualified to hold any area of power so that's why elitism is needed.

  • @EdgePitSwing

    Geniuses often have very specialized knowledge.

    Instead of a pure geniocracy it should be run specifically by those who understand political science based on who passes through specially administered academies.

    We should "democracy" as a branch of government to counteract bias(since all humans have bias), but not allow anything to pass just through democracy, requiring the political scientists to approve of it.

    We could add other groups too, such as an economists board.
