>The basic idea
of a creative minority (or aristocracy) seems sound. Most creativity and
innovation will come from only a fraction of any given population, those on the
right hand tail in the distribution of talents and energy. But aristocracies
can in practice also be merely dominant, predatory, blocking minorities. For a
creative minority to exist there seem to be two preconditions: first a sizeable
fraction of the overall population needs to be highly talented and motivated;
and second a dominant, blocking elite needs to be prevented.<
