> Davos is private gathering with politicians..media..celebrities ... jason calacanis said on all in podcast how they offer him a seat at table for $25k or $40k some number like that in early 2000s. They're modern day "philosopher kings." This is the world that we live in. In the capitalist meritocracy in which we all live, money is an important point keeping system. So it makes sense that you have to buy a seat at the table and it costs a lot. I imagine that money alone is not enough merit to get a seat though, as there are many other measures of merit or social rank. I'm not sure how this can be effectively questioned. Ban private gatherings and private property? It's been tried before, didn't go well.
