Joel attempts to make the case for why the intellectual elite is superior to the “boat elite” as he puts it or “captains of industry” as others have referred to them. He has some fascinating points and it’s certainly an entertaining read, but I think it’s going to take another book before he truly understands the origin of the populist fervor redefining politics worldwide, and it’s not entirely the Meteorologist fallacy. Recommend reading this in conjunction with Nassim Taleb’s trilogy, which pretty much rips the expertise argument to shreds.
