False dichotomy. Much more useful to think about most things (esp. societal and behavioral) as a spectrum. Very few things are completely black and white.

- raspasov 5y agoExperts vs Elites are made-up categories. More categories can be arbitrarily created. For example, Experts vs Elites vs Workers. Or Experts vs Elites vs Workers vs Long-term unemployed. I haven't seen solid evidence for splitting the world in such categories. It definitely makes for entertaining demagoguery but not much more. Such categories also completely exclude the concept of time from the analysis. It's like trying to judge a movie from a single random screenshot. I.e. a person might be a worker today, expert in 3 years, and later suffer from depressive symptoms and be chronically unemployed.
