Earlier civilizations could not make use of cooperation – exchange – as the sour

Earlier civilizations could not make use of cooperation – exchange – as the source of information by which to collect and use information in vast numbers, because the ‘drag’ of the lower classes was too high. In the industrial revolution we experienced such a leap in productivity that as a consequence, consumption could increase dramatically, because the lower classes need only trade labor (their only possession – a commodity), in exchange for the new cheap consumption.

It is increasingly obvious that that central problem for all civilizations is eugenics.

I did not expect to come to this conclusion.
