Your description is dead on. And it's absolutely dystopian, especially for anyone who falls outside of the specific caste described.

But I find it odd that you wouldn't think there's something wrong with it. Essentially large swaths of the population are locked out. That is a huge problem.



The first step is to get people to acknowledge reality without morally tagging everything.

The moral tagging creates emotional walls to keep the acknowledgement of reality out.

Leaving it out avoids tribalism and other tropes from dominating the discourse.

If you can get people to at least agree on the terms of reality and the context it exists in, that's a major win.


It's easy to not give a fuck when you benefit from the inequality.
