'''[[w:Elitism|Elitism]]''' is the [[belief]] or [[attitude]] that some individuals, who form an [[elite]]—a select group of people with a certain [[w:Ancestry|ancestry]], intrinsic [[quality]] or worth, higher [[intellect]], [[wealth]], specialized training or [[experience]], or other distinctive [[attributes]]—are those whose influence or [[authority]] is greater than that of others; whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views or actions are most likely to be constructive to [[society]] as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities, or [[wisdom]] render them especially fit to govern.  Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people.

* If you believe, as I do, that ''on the whole ordinary people are more competent than anyone else to decide when and how much they shall intervene on decisions they feel are important to them'', then you will surely opt for political equality and democracy. But if you believe that the ordinary person is less competent in this fundamental way than some particular person or minority, then I imagine that like Plato your vision of the best government is a government by this qualified person or elite.

* I know very well that we are not all equal, nor can be so; but it is my opinion that he who deems it important to keep aloof from the so-called rabble, in order to maintain their respect, is as much to blame as a coward who hides himself from his enemy because he fears defeat.
** [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]], ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'' (Boston: 1884), “May 15”

* Elitism is repulsive when based upon external and artificial limitations like race, gender, or social class. Repulsive and utterly false—for that spark of genius is randomly distributed  across all cruel barriers of our social prejudice. We therefore must grant access—and encouragement—to everyone; and must be increasingly vigilant, and tirelessly attentive, in providing such opportunities to all children. We will have no justice until this kind of equality can be attained. But if only a small minority respond, and these are our best and brightest of all races, classes, and genders, shall we deny them the pinnacle of their soul's striving because all their colleagues prefer passivity and flashing lights? Let them lift their eyes to hills of books, and at least a few museums that display the full magic of nature's variety. What is wrong with this truly democratic form of elistim?<!-- p. 246 -->

*Ask yourself: how has "elitism" become a bad word in American politics? There is simply no other walk of life in which extraordinary talent and rigorous training are denigrated. We want elite pilots to fly our planes, elite troops to undertake our most critical missions, elite athletes to represent us in competition and elite scientists to devote the most productive years of their lives to curing our diseases. And yet, when it comes time to vest people with even greater responsibilities, we consider it a virtue to shun any and all standards of excellence. When it comes to choosing the people whose thoughts and actions will decide the fates of millions, then we suddenly want someone just like us, someone fit to have a beer with, someone down-to-earth—in fact, almost anyone, provided that he or she doesn't seem too intelligent or well educated.
