It seems, the world is stumbling back onto the Hindu-system of having multiple 'jatis' that hyper-specialize in everything from archery to metallurgy to mathematics, and basically turning into endogamous communities for much better success in partnership. Many 'elites' I run into are already doing this.
(The trouble Indians face today is that these medieval groupings are no longer functionally meaningful - all the rest of it is 'anti-heathen' bullshit that derives more from Christian propaganda than lived reality.)
- ReactiveJelly 4y agoHad to look up "jati" cause I wasn't sure if it was a person, place, or thing: > (Hinduism) a Hindu caste or distinctive social group of which there are thousands throughout India; a special characteristic is often the exclusive occupation of its male members (such as barber or potter)
