An excellent analysis which is helpful as one studies humans and the political and economic systems we've created. Something I do as a science fiction writer and many in my genre, and not in my genre who are writers do.

In my mind we must examine capitalism - an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. We must examine the effect of capitalism on labor, productivity, and economic development but not call this Marxism - the state as owner and communism are not answers in our modern technological society.

Because of climate change and over population we are probably too late to turn this ship around. We'll need to survive it and start again.

For humans therefore a necessary genetic redesign before this happens . Critical thinking is in the genes and thus a little tweaking would be excellent. While factors such as upbringing play a crucial role in our brain's development, the work done by scientists in Scandinavia, Germany and the US has shown that having the right genetic makeup can make our brain more inclined towards creative and critical thinking.

Imagine as I do that there's a group higher up the food chain studying us, and figuring out those little tweaks we need to our genetic make-up and making them.

Fun isn't it and helps with the current day lunacy that is our world. Ergo it's fine for a seventeen year old to carry a military style weapon to a protest and kill people with it, and all our President can say is the jury has spoken. Excuse me did I hear you?

Anyway excellent analysis of the different groups, and even funner to understand the neuro-science and genetics that influence their thinking and behavior. Now even we have the tools to tweak that.
