Elitism is better than the anti-elitism we saw out of the last 10 years.

I’d really rather have someone smart and educated in charge than someone who just relies on populism and ‘outsider’ status.

Agreed. I’m not sure when elite became a bad word. It means above average, even extraordinary. We should all strive to be elite.

And when did “average” and “ordinary” become such positive attributes? My parents always told me “If you’re average, you haven’t tried hard enough.”
