Good question. My take is that the elite mostly got their positions either by inheritance or by acting psychopathic. Bill Gates is heralded as a business genius but screwed over business partners and destroyed objectively superior technology. I think it would be better if leadership positions were allocated using lottery tickets. Existing structure only benefits the existing elite.
