If someone is richer, more powerful, and more successful than you, they logically have something on you. Are they more physically fit? More attractive? Luckier? It might be luckier, but relying on luck alone you tend to lose in the end. Smarter? Maybe a combination of luckier and smart enough.

They're certainly not morons, though. Morons lose their power all too quickly. The simplest solution is not incompetence at every single level of elite power, that assumes far too many conveniences and coincidences as to how they are still "elite" after being morons for life.

Did you account for the fact that they are all in a big club together and they collude together to ensure that they are the only ones who sit at the top?

Like George Carlin said.

Nepotism is mainly why the current elites are in their position.

A moron threatens the inner circle's long-term power.

Morons don't stay in a club for long. Nepotism is part of luck, luck of your birth, but idiocy ruins even that level of luck. Loose ends are trimmed off. If you assume they're morons just because you can handwave away their position with "nepotism", you'll be sorely disappointed when the truth comes to light. They are at least as smart as yourself, likely more, and to assume ignorance when malice is possible is exactly what they'd want you to do.

You are misunderstanding my point.

I think they got their position via nepotism but they are entirely malicious in trying to keep it.

I don't think they are bumbling lucky fools like you assume my point to be.

I think they are evil assholes who are arrogant enough to do anything to keep their power.
