Something that is hinted at the end of the article but not fully addressed: the risk of creating a new elite (if elitism is the problem) is there just as much in the new system (such as Thiel is) as it was the original institution.
- dougabug 16y agoThere will always be an elite. But society needs a humble, wiser elite, who lead by example, talent, and perseverance; leaders who provide valuable insight, rather than protect their advantage by raising walls. Ken Thompson is the best kind of elite, an elite mind who gave us the foundational tools to build a whole new industry.
