"The great ancient Greeks (350 BC) almost hit critical mass, but were annilated before they could evolove a sophisticated civilzation. I love the ancient Greeks! The Republic by PLATO was sooooo profound and to think he wrote it over 2,000 years ago."

the Republic - an elite ruling class, ruling the eugenically purpose bred worker class through an enforcer "Guardian" class, with liberal doses of the Noble Lie.

Enlightened for some, hell for most.

A familiar model, and yes, it has been very profound.
