Stratification


Yes we do it, and the mindset that allows such a thing has been forging for the fast fifty years.

Our society is being systematically stratified by credentialism and education.  We rejected the idea of the "Creative Minority" and went whole hog at being the "Dominant Minority".  Well, we got our wishes and became those which we most feared.

Again, us boomers are the folks who pulled the trigger.  Way too many of us were told we were smart enough to be part of the ruling elite.  We didn't think that this would require hard work and creativity, we thought that following the rules and taking home the paychecks was all that was needed of us.

I think that we are entering the times of payback.
