Question

Why the middle men/women(agents)are needed in human society,when everybody declared self an intellegent being?

Answer 1

Commodification.

In short, the merchants have won.

We are entering a stage in worldwide cultures where all aspects of our lives can be given a monetary value based on their desirability. That is, if someone can make money from you wanting what someone else has they will. If we all want to be able to purchase happiness then that is exactly what we will have. A situation where we have to pay suppliers of what we believe we need.

The class struggle has ended in all aspects of life being available to those who can pay, with intermediaries living off the opportunities afforded. Is this fair? Are we better off? Are there still classes, privileged and privileged?

I think you know the answer to those questions.

All the best.

Answer 2

They are the facilitators.  



Even if we accept that everyone is an intelligent being,  there are certain areas/fields  of which we may not have requisite knowledge/expertise.  We would not know where or how to reach that kind of knowledge.   Many times we are simply hard-pressed for time.   That is when these agents/middle men step in.  Their business is to bring seeker to the sought & the other way round.   Like...match-making.  In India marriages are still arranged by parents and these middle men help save time by bringing the eligible parties together.

It is business like any other!

Answer 4

I think everyone is different in that respect, due to the way they've grown up and their family.  I think maybe it's a matter of personal choice by the person, what they want to do in life or what satisfies them.  Maybe it forms a greater picture, because not everyone can be the same or intelligent.  In nature, I know different classes of animals find their niche in the environment, as it's happened over time.
