In Praise of Elitism

Roger Kimball has shown me the error of my ways. I had fallen into the habit of using “elitist” as an ephithet. Worse, I had no excuse.

The point is that reality is elitist. Failure to acknowledge that might make you feel kinder, gentler, etc., but at the significant cost of living a lie.

I’ll never confuse elitism with arrogance again. (Read the whole article. It’s a gas.)
