I kind of like that intellectual elite thing. Platos philosopher kings and 
all that. Of course that doesn't work in reality, but even within a 
democratic system I think a certain amout of elitism is Good. In the case of

intellectual patterns ruling over social etc. Good stuff.

John Stewart, America's leading pundit, addresses elitism about six minutes
into this. The first part is good but if you are short of time just move the
slider. He is talking about presidential candidates and tells them, "you
know the job you are applying for, if you get it and all goes well, they
might carve your head into a mountain. If you don't think you are better
than us, what the fuck are you doing?"

Political eliteness I know but same principle.
