I Disagree

 I hate to disagree with Jordan Peterson, but I heard him in an old interview say that talent is rare. That makes it official. He is an elitist and a bit of a snob. He believes that only the very smart are the talented ones, and that they deserve to run things and rise to the top.

Eric Hoffer and I could not deny that more so. We insist that talent is common, bountiful, and all people are brimming with wasted talent. 

Hierarchies there will always be, but all can be smarter, more talented, more thoughtful and originators. They will tolerate nor need any elite to govern them or think for them.
