Gate Keepers


The reason the a system any system have gate keepers, to control access, while capitalism thrives on limiting access and accenting privilege, base on race, religion, sex or class. Capitalism rational for discretion is found in Plato an ideal of the myth of the Philosopher King (Book IV and V).  But this position is not unique to Capitalism, Feudal Society or Aristocrat system. The collapse of the Marxist system of the Soviet Union or Eastern Europe is found when the dictator ship of the working class become the new aristocrat, the nomenclature give themselves the right in the name of his class to become not just the economic oppressor, but human dignity with his liberties, today we can see the same effect in China, Cuba, Venezuela or theocratic state like Iran or Saudi Arabia.
The gate keeper effect is found from early stage education. In education the key is continuity of the information, in US the SAT is oriented only to Middle Class or Upper Class, because the social class can afford the continuity in the education, not to say the bias in the education considers what the right information is and the test is base on this assumptions. Later on work base individual has the capacity to repeat the information consider correct, case on point the Economic Meltdown in 2008 any economist who try to published decent, question monetary policies where sensor, from 20,000 professional economist (PhD) only 3 question the deregulation a big factor for the meltdown.
The fallacy of the system, can be found in the Marxist believe like any pseudo Science, economics or social behaviour is sciences, since the base for science is experimental. Like any religion who deviated humans can be irrational or self destructive, the psychological need for certainty. The free market religion want to believe humans are rational where history recount anecdotes of the contrary, a soldier jumping in front of a Granada given his life for his comrades, when they re not his biological family or saving from genocide even not relation.
Today due to internet, while is obvious was not indented to be a forum an encyclopaedia of ideas, while the original was developed because in the 1950´s funding agency of US Government wanted to control the research for their own purpose, now has flourish a open ideas, where not walls, while repressing system trying, but now instruments like Freedom Box  and others have forced no more gate keepers and freedom of information can be preserved by creating alternatives networks from the clutches of the gate keepers.
