So, the theory goes that we currently live in a strictly stratified class (or caste) society.

We have business class, entertainer class, politician class and, of course, the masses - subclass. No one gets successful in business unless he's from business class. No one gets to be a famous actor, musician, popstar etc unless he's from entertainer class. And so on, and so on...

The catch is that the masses are not necessarily informed about the real state of things and instead are being fed bullshit stories about garage inventors, bedroom singers turned popstars, businessmen pulling up themselves by the bootstraps and other such nonsense, while in reality no one gets anywhere substantial unless it's approved.

Any thoughts? Or have I been reading too much into Miles Mathis lately? This is not directly from Mathis, but if we extrapolate his writings we get to strict caste society I have described or something very similar.
