I'd contrast this by watching a season of HBO's "Entourage".

I find it interesting that actors who are those with the least expertise and least value of conversation have talent agents and publicists whereas the experts have little to no talent agents or publicists.

Why not just hire a publicist to write popular versions of the technical stuff that the expert feels accurately portray the technical innards?

The ability to communicate with the masses is talent independent of other expertise. One can be talented in both that's what it is, two talents.

Finally, America's corruption right now is off the charts. One cannot take seriously any critique of America's elite without factoring in the huge amount of influence corruption is having at all levels of elitism in this country. So I couldn't take this seriously.

America is weird.

What corruption exists in the US? Short of politicians and lobbyists (since thats obvious), where else does it occur? As far as I'm concerned, family politics and inheritances are not corrupt.
