Many complain that there are members of wealthy families who are put into positions of power in government and multi-national conglomerate corporations who have not earned their place. In other words they have never earned their status they say. In debating this topic recently in an online think tank one gentleman stated;
They are not better men than I and my fellows, if they have better education it is because they had better opportunity for such through often repugnant and clandestine acts of their forebears, that they have greater wealth than I is largely due to their forebears willingness to conduct their affairs in businesses that my forebears reviled at. Their elite-ness and exclusivity make them far lesser men, for what they have was given, not earned.
Well yes genetically they might have a flaw which allows them greater thought or concentration on complex problem solving or able to have better memory for deception purposes or something of this nature. I suppose as I study the human brain this maybe possible. So they may actually be better at some things by way of genetic nature and not so good perhaps at something else.
Un-earned status can be problematic, I tend to agree, but much of ones ability is psycho-cybernatics and thus since they come from a can-do family they see it, understand it, believe it and mimic those talents. A lot is nurture too. If you look at most Jewish families they are self-employed or professional self-employed parasites of commerce (lawyers, accountants) and they nurture their kids to be the same and that has a whole lot to do with it.
Yet regardless of nationality one who is raised in a power elite family understands more of how things work than someone who is not. Maybe we might not so hastily judge down here in the peanut gallery that which we do not understand. Consider all this in 2006.
