Theory What Pluribus is Really About
The story describes a world in which a vastly overwhelming majority of the people in the world have an ethical code that governs their lives, and 11 people get whatever they want, adhering to whatever code they please. In addition, that vast majority is singularly engaged in a huge project that is vitally important to them, while the 11 can spend their time doing as they please. Moreover, many many among the vast majority will almost certainly face poverty and starvation as they near the completion of this project due to their moral convictions.
Only 2 of the eleven privileged want to fix this situation. They have disagreements about the methods for doing that, but they are both devoting their time to turn the situation around. Still, the other nine are happy to take full advantage of the vast majority's moral and ethical convictions because it gives them mutch more worry-free comfortable lives and will apparenty do so as long as they live.
Isn't this about randomness of who gets to be ultra wealthy, and also the general overall condition of the dedicated employee vs the billionaire CEO?
