words, even though there might seem to be a difference
and inequality in the levels of intelligence, talent, and
natural ability from any person to any person, these
inequalities are not defined by race, color, gender, religion,
or sexual preference. Not only that, as human beings that
have amazing abilities to, during the course of our lives,
develop talents, increase knowledge, and become better at
pretty much whatever we have a mind to, anything is
possible -- and that is the best and most beautiful part of all!

Now, back to the origins of Elitism. Now that we have
identified the true state of human diversity, how do people
come to believe that they are somehow created purposely
superior? Well, they look around, see that they might seem
to be naturally more intelligent or talented or born into a
local ruling majority and say, "Hey, someone out there
chose me to be better than other people." They think that
because it immediately satisfies the natural - yet erroneous
human compulsion to quickly self-validate and they easily
accept it as truth and fact, feeling quite superior and
pleased with themselves, often quite sub-conscientiously. It
is the fast-easy and self-serving conclusion that so many
fall prey to with out truly thinking it through.

But if you do look closely and think it through, you clearly
see that there is absolutely no truth to substantiate such a
hypothesis. Sure, people make stuff up and write it down in
manifests, religious documents, political ideologies, and the
like, but it is simply empty rhetoric with no basis in fact
and designed only to enable one group of people to
subjugate another. It is simply the first thing many folks
think of and it makes them feel pretty good, so they go with
it and when you do that, you come to the erroneous
conclusion that you are somehow anointed as a superior
being. And this, of course, leads to all the horrible things
