> Why do you abhor elitism? It's elitism (not group thinking) which yields progress. For instance, da Vinci, Newton, Einstein, etc. and all the Nobel price winners were all outstanding elitists. We're here because of mass progress, not because of a few "chosen people". The "great man" theory of history fell by the wayside a one century ago. |

What is "mass progress"? There are two options: a) let the masses learn to use the inventions of individualists (which happened with C/C++, PHP and Python for instance), or b) let the inventions be customized to the mediocre capabilities of the masses.
You want option b), obviously. I wouldn't call that "progress".
