In the current political usage, “elite” usually means “educated” in the sense of being well-rounded intellectually. THAT is what we are struggling with. It’s people who want to learn it for themselves vs. people who would rather take someone else’s word for it. Spirituality vs. blind faith. Evolution vs. stagnancy. Proactive vs. reactive.
We’re back to that objective observer thing again. (I’ll come back to this later.) Do you examine yourself and the world you live in, or do you sit around waiting for someone to pour meds and the opiate of the masses into your head?
