I think, "democratizing complicated or beautiful things" (ie. music, Internet, education, information) is the myth of the day alongside other prevalent myths like, "elite rule isn't the norm for humans" "The real basis of legal rights is a religious object" (this applies just as badly to Liberals in their belief in equality as much as it does Christian Conservatives who believe Jesus was our first president) and especially, "self-determination for common people is the highest good humanity could ever realize."
I really, really hate to say this but I'm beginning to have sympathies with Ayn Rand's literature. We don't let, "normal people" into operating rooms; why is it that the public has been invited to the conversation about complicated things like science, medicine, philosophy, ethics (..?)
