Than you for catching the typo. Also I find it refreshingly honest that you acknowledge reality of this.
Yes they by definition don't control the media or academia, their material resources aren't trivial but it is impossible for them to coordinate, since any organization they create to defend their interests will be subverted or marginalized.
The class produces its fair share of mathematicians. In absolute numbers I'd say more than the upper classes.
I'm not sure the Moldbuggian taxonomy carves reality at the joints but I have no problem employing it as needed.
I doubt it (IQ, heredity), unless you're including Asian immigrant populations. But in any case mathematicians usually spend a good amount of time in university which means, wherever they grew up, by the time they're looking for jobs they're usually firmly entrenched in a brahmin social circle.
Ah I fear I misunderstood you and took "produces" rather too literally. Don't forget that STEM fields are attractive to those who want to climb socially but lack the graces because of their upbringing.
Obviously they retain few of those who go to become mathematicians.
