This same discussion has been fought out with voting rights. Clearly only the big land owners should vote. The average peasant does not have the knowledge or experience required to participate in governing a country. Same for women. Peasants should stay on their land, women in their kitchens, voting should happen by those educated and well read. The people claiming this were probably right, but the solution was radically different from what they envisioned: Peasants and women fought for the right to get schooling. The news became available for everyone. They got in fact the tools needed to perform the job. We should strive for the same things here. Even knowing a majority might get malware or vote for Trump. The minority that makes maximal use of the given opportunities has demonstrated they will make the world a better place for all of us.
