Next time, with an eye to actually empowering people of real capability, over and above people who merely spent time memorising empty facts and figures. What fucking use is that, if nothing can be done with it? I could memorise a cake recipe; that doesn't mean I could actually bake it. Being the elite and turning in their circles carries with it a queer sort arrogance. Like pornography, it's difficult to describe but easy to recognize.. And they seem to believe that this is as good as it can get! Hey, if they can't do the job.. Who can?

It's terribly frustrating.

They see themselves as Plato's philosopher kings, while the rest of us see a circus.
