The elite described here lines up with Rao's Sociopath - someone who understands that, 9 times out of 10, social cohesion is more important than the truth, and is polished enough to represent and enforce it.
> someone who understands that, 9 times out of 10, social cohesion is more important than the truth
10 times out of 10, social cohesion and truth are almost orthogonal. That is, social cohesion is based on agreement, which is based on propaganda. In fact, social cohesion is easier with the truth because the fringe who follow the truth would also support the propaganda instead of opposing it.
9 times out of 10, the so called humanities try to undermine the truth in every way imaginable.
