The majority and optimizing markets are at odds in your statement. Look at qdb/k, it is very expensive, programmers cost a bunch, but it is used by the big financial houses. I am sure they are glad it is not too popular and affordable.
I do agree that I don't like central planning, and design by committee, but those are different than your market statement or technocracy comment.
Movies, arts, books, music...horses for courses, best for what moment? I like action films, I like high-brow, arthouse stuff too. Same with books. I am glad I have a choice for the moment at hand.
When I was a young intellect, I succumbed to that elitist attitude of 'the best', and 'they don't know what's good for themselves' which is funny because I grew up in a poor, working-class neighborhood in Brooklyn in the late 60s/early 70s. Elitists were the guys from NY as well, but who wore black berets to film class at TSOA/NYU (three in my class alone!).
