One reason I don’t think the caste system analogy holds is because you can’t overthrow Silicon Valley with a violent revolution. You can maybe destroy it, but it can’t be stolen. A caste system is arbitrary, a meritocracy is not. The article even admits this implicitly by saying that skills and training are necessary to be admitted to the inner party. Farmers may overthrow the hereditary monarchy because frankly the monarchs never had anything but historical accidents and tradition for their position anyway. But if farmers overthrow google who’s going to keep the servers running? Who’s going to fix bugs, manage projects, write code? The same people will end up running everything anyway, because they are the only ones who know how to do it.
