The Age of Expert Ignorance
24th March 2018
The problem with democracy is that by its very nature the “inventors” tend to be philistines (for example, that grotesque trio: Zuckerberg, Gates, and Bezos), money-grubbers, and cowards, happy to truckle to the diversity rabble and other low types, since there is such a good living and so much social distinction in that. As with the preservation of high culture, it takes a truly elitist social order and an aristocratic tradition to produce statesmen such as those Great Dead White Men, America’s Founding Fathers.
