Interesting that scientists and engineers don't fit very well in this structure - they are not exactly like the rest of the educated gentry.

Also, even super rich or successful scientists and engineers don't really fit in on the Elite ladder.
They still have a commitment to scientific progress, making new technology, the existence of reality and natural law, none of which has resonance with the other Elites.

Much less necessary at startups and in science labs.
Too much time with Feynman, growing up!
