I'm going to have to read this again, as it is, indeed, both food for thought as well as thought-provoking.
Especially as there is a frightening trend in society to use the diabolical sense of 'democracy' to encourage mediocrity as opposed to meritocracy; a prophecy, such as it is, in the last paragraph you quoted. ((Dare I say it was already fulfilled?)
Thank you for this. Thank you very much.
I hope you won't mind, but I intend to read that article in full and then link it (and your journal's post) in a post of my own.
