Mathematical Refutation of Snobbery

For the sake of argument, lets assume that there is a nation, nation X, that contains 3 million males, 3 million females, 2 million adult females, and 20 thousands adult females who are from the financial elite composed of those who are in the top 1% financially.

Furthermore, lets assume that the females from the financial elite and the females from the general population, are equal in terms of sexiness.

If you ranked the 2 million adult females in nation X for sexiness, from #2,000,000 the least sexy to #1 the most sexy, the laws of probability are such, that you would end up with something like this: #150, from financial elite; #s 149-#51, from general public; #50, from financial elite; #s 49 to #1, from general public. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze, so to speak, would go to the general public.

Given that the adult females from the general public and from the financial elite are equal in terms of sexiness, the laws of probability are such that one can expect #s 1 (the sexiest) to #49 (only 48 women more sexy than her in nation X) to be from the general public.

Suppose that the women of the top-1% financial elite were twice as sexy as the women from the general public. Then you would be looking at something like: #75, from financial elite; #s 74-26, from general public; #25, from financial elite; #s 24-1, from general public. This despite the fact that the incidence of sexy is twice as great in the financial elite.

Even if the incidence of sexy was twice as great amongst the financial elite, #s 1-24 would be occupied by members of the sub-elite general public; if you got rid of the non-elite members of the society, you would be getting rid of #s 1-24, the 24 sexiest women in the society.

I chose sexiness as a criteria to illustrate the argument, because it seems snobs are focused on the 'ugliness' of the public compared to the elites.

Yet this same argument holds true also if you were to rank persons based upon not their sexiness, but rather their voice, personality, appearance, or intelligence.

Snobs fail to realize that whatever criteria they hold dear, the public by force of numbers, wins the contest.
