And if anything, that argument might suggest the upper 10% should almost have the lower 90 enthralled. Society is a fundamentally mental event. To claim you're more skilled than 90% of it and still fail to succeed is to not really be telling the whole s story.
Which is fine. Maybe you don't care about other people enough to invest. Maybe you've decided to spend time elsewhere. Just stop trying to be so holy that you can't overcome the challenge of learning about and appreciating others.
"And if anything, that argument might suggest the upper 10% should almost have the lower 90 enthralled."
People in the top 20% of intelligence (the interval centered around the optimal 90th percentile for leadership) do dominate society. Virtually every CEO, every Congressman, every Senator, every President, every general, etc. etc. etc. is in that top 20%. See the Mainstream Science on Intelligence statement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_Science_on_Intellige...).
