We are sometimes called elitists.  We are educated, we are curious, we are moved and motivated, we expect much from the world and more from ourselves; we are impatient with the lack of progress and intolerant of ignorance.  We have no time for stupidity and understand that respect is earned.

We refine our tastes in order to raise them from the sugar-salt-fat floor of our society’s “taste”.  We do not accept that humanity is limited by its ignorance, but only by its ignorant bliss. We understand that we are in the end apes that want comfort and power, and are curious but have lost our way and have been led astray.

We do not look down at the masses, but  we have licked our laziness and dismissed norms. We understand that the masses have the potential to raise themselves up out of the shallow pit of consumerism. We also understand that they have never done so and probably will not rise to the occasion this time, unless they are given the opportunity.

We have simply decided not to wait any longer.
