I'm flattered you call me "elite" but I just play one on TV.
"You're talking about memories..." ~Bladerunner
You're talking about human nature...
Elite or otherwise. Hording can't be helped. It's never enough. We're wired to want, never grateful for what we have, always resenting what gets taken or lost.
Q: What do you call a skeevy little horder with connections?
A: A billionaire.
Let's start a Steemit secret society.
Okay, first you encrypt an email to me of yourself compromising a child so that I can blackmail you if needs be. Then we'll infiltrate some well meaning peaceful groups and exploit and murder them in a false flag event that launches us into a profitable war granting us access to their land and mineral rights. Then we can send covert operatives to blackmail or assassinate all the Steemit whales into our clutches...
Is there such a thing as a secret society for good?
I never called you "elite."
And to your final question... you would never be able to know if coming from the presupposition there couldn't be, for the low-theta judgement would close off your receptors to any information contradicting your belief...

Thanks, I get that a lot, and though I do look elite, I insist I am not.
And finally to your final answer to my final question I finally ask another final question: Are you speaking from the confirmation-biased perspective of a secret society insider or an outsider?
A member of a secret society for good might think they were doing good but couldn't verify it with non-secret-society-members. (Inversely, a member of a secret society for bad may think they were doing bad, but were actually doing good, and they couldn't verify it with non-secret-society-members.)
On the other hand the existence of a secret society for good might be so secret that no one knows about it. In fact, we may all actually be in the secret society for good and not even know it because it's so secret!
