When you say group of people, do you mean a small subset of people? Because I don't want that either. I want ALL of us to collectively choose a group of people that we consider better or more interesting than us in some way, or at least people worth listening to(or filtering the people not worth listening to)
"with hatred, judgment, racism, white supremacy, etc."
That's also why I want some carefully chosen people to be able to veto some people from registering, especially to block racists or other type of discrimination.
When you say 1% do you mean the richest 1%? That's not what I want either, there has been some attempts at that, and it sounds really lame.(like the "best of all worlds" social network)
The top 1% of thinkers, artists, change-makers and innovators doesn't seem that bad to me.
What do you think of things like the Solvay Conference? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference
It's probably one of the most elitist gatherings on earth, is it a bad thing?
or just very smart people working on and talking about complicated problems?
Or maybe(although it's likely more controversial), TED talks?
If all the people who ever made Ted Talks got their own subreddit and started talking publicly in their free time I think it'd yield some interesting results.
Teaching is also elitist, but is it a bad thing that the only the best of us should be able to teach?(or at least be legitimate in that area)
