Eric Hoffer was a shrewd and kind man. He knew that elites are no smarter than anyone else. He knew and believed that the common people were plenty smart, creative, and talented, and. if let to run their own affairs, they would do fine and required no elites to rule them.
Intellectuals, professors, American aristocrats, and other high society types actually believe they are smarter and morally superior to the masses that require being ruled and directed by their upper-class masters, and this is rationalization is corrupt and false, and is the source of most human suffering.
Where I have taken all this is to recommend that the little people, all of them--should they will it of their own free choice--can individuate their potential into actuality, as all of them are laden with talent.
As self-realizers, as anarchist-individuator-supercitizens, they can be exceptional, but they will exist and thrive in a classless society of upper middle class achievers, so there is no established elite allowed to rand wreck the country as all are elite and all are common, at the same time in the same person, both these traits revealed and shared in each person. That is where I recommend that we head.
