I mean, it doesn’t work but like, I get it. Moreso, after reading the news or watching any TV or talking to certain neighbors, I get the desire to, idk, maybe want some selective breeding. Just make people a teeny tiny bit less… stupid? Gullable? Irrational? If only there was a way. It wouldn’t work, but I get it.
Obviously it doesn’t quite work that way, is probably immortal and would take an extraordinary long time to even change something as ingrained as all that. Lol
If you want people to be less stupid or gullable, the answer is founding education programs to teach them scepticism.
About the irrationality, I think it’s part of what makes us human, biases can be overcome with some knowledge and humility but some things about humans like doing something for no reason or just because it fells good will never dissapear.

Those same jobs have to be done regardless of the economic system.
