Elitism is lowly behaviour. I am so above it!

Assigning tasks based on capacities is not elitism.
Personally I witnessed such a situation like bobby's and billy's.
When the head carpenter only needs one man to work for him - between the two men, he chooses bobby.
Billy gets left in the dust.
Another example is the justice system.
What could be more elitist then the criminal justice system?
The (elitist) standards of society demmand certain behaviors.
To be caught as criminal in any way is to be treated unfavorably.
How friendly are you to bums on the street milli? Not as friendly as you are to the people you actual call your friends, I'm sure.
Why are they your friends?
Because you percieve them as sufficiently superior. They make you feel secure.
You are not treating me in a favorable way, you elitist hypocrite.Milli: You are so amazlingly confused. Please quite fouling up the board with your intense stupidity
Expecting the same pay for inferior work skills is ACTUAL ELITISM. Your logic that "anti-elitism" means mediocrity worship is faulty.

Superior skills are 'favored'. People with superior skills get favorable treatment.Milli: Expecting the same pay for inferior work skills is ACTUAL ELITISM.
People with inferior skills get less favorable treatment.
That is why the true philosopher is often ostracized from society. Society is (people are) elitist instinctively, and the skills that soceity values the philosopher ofen does not have, or, if he does have useful skills, he does not employ himself the way soceity would generally like him to be employed
The philsopher is likewise not friendly, affectionate and supportive towards defenders of convential soceity.
He only treats those favorably who seem at least a little bit open to seeing things the way he does.
My logic is that anti-elitism would mean that you are friendly, affectionate and supportive toward everyone, all of the time.Milli: Your logic that "anti-elitism" means mediocrity worship is faulty.
Personally I dont think that is healthy and natural.

This is just fair treatment. Jobs are allotted by skills. There's fair and THEN there's favored. Favored is not fair. Fair is not favored is this your point?Cory Patrick wrote:Superior skills are 'favored'.

Would you be friendly to a goat? That is not healthy or natural for either party.
