This take is so very, very specific 😅 Are you a psychologist or similar?

    It's not that specific. It fits a lot of Social Darwinists that were born into money. Most just have the good sense to keep their voices down in public.

    The solipsism and all this kind of stuff is very specific to me. Just because it "fits" doesn't mean it's actually the case though. Do you personally know people like this, that also keep their voices down? Like, are there any examples to share?

    It's a pretty common belief in elite circles. For example the Trilateral commission describes itself as an organisation focused on "our roots as a group of countries sharing common values and a commitment to the rule of law, open economies and societies, and democratic principles" yet it was specifically set up to stem "excess democracy" in Europe and the US.

    They don't see it as hypocritical. Democracy for them and democracy for you are two different things.

    I couldn't find anything on solipsism on that page and I read quite far and did a search in the article.

    How do we know that solipsism is a common belief among the elite? The belief that the world outside of one's own mind cannot be known, that it can't be known whether it's real or actually rather a product of one's own mind? To me this seems like a very specific philosophical view that people might consider sometimes, but not really hold themselves to. You'd think people would stop caring what happens to them if they believed this to be the case. But you're claiming with such confidence that this is a matter of fact in elite circles. How are you so sure?
