INVESTMENT WITHOUT DEMAND FOR AGENCY

by James Dmitro Makienko

The core of our problem was that we thought that through educating slaves, most women and the underclass they will somehow achieve aristocracy, without reciprocally demanding that they increase their agency.

Without agency, slaves will a) remain slaves b) think of advancing as owning their own slaves c) evade responsibility for their actions.

The underclass in its majority does not want to get out of the underclass – we can only manage it so that they do not impose a cost and be a burden for the rest of the society.

Occasionally some members of the underclass will develop agency on their own and lift themselves up – just like some aristocracy will squander their parents’ inheritance, and one day wake up in a dung heap behind tavern, and live unhappily in the gutters everafter.

This is a natural cycle for refreshing the elite.
