How we develop a society — elite and genius described

A society can be expressed as a triangle. For example, when I organize it in terms of intellectual framework, the top is where those who are having great academic background, but the number is a few. As it descends to the bottom, it widens and the number grows.

The framework of a society which is signified by the triangle is extendable. Most of people live within the frame, but there are some people staying outside of it. The former is different from those who called Elites. Elites are located in the top of the triangle and those who take the (almost)best score in all subjects. They are within a framework and some of them are on the line of the border and pushing it to expand. Among elites, a handful of people can cross the line and move back and forth. However the difference is the vector of the power extending the frame. People outside of a framework pull the border to expand from the outside. They sometimes first make some their own areas developed themselves far from the society, but then connect it to it (= these are so-called genius). Some of them can also enters and leave the borders. On the other hand, Elites expand it from internal area. There is another type of people staying inside of the border pushing it even if they are not on the top in terms of academic background. Those stay nearby the frame.

Besides, many people are not conscious of the framework and spend their time within the frame. This is actually individual preference whether they eager to develop the society or not.

This theory can be adapted to the school situation. Famously Thomas Alva Edison dropped out from a primary school. But he is the person having great curiosity and made the greatest achievements in specific fields. And there’s no doubt that he is the greatest inventor. This means that only people taking the best grades in almost all subjects at school is not necessarily a case that people develop a society (or human history).

The powers from the internal and external expand our society and the frame is expandable.
