Correct. Anything is surviving! That's going to doom Homo Sapiens Sapiens. As societies went complex, after the industrial revolution, there weren't enough people to man it. We implemented mass schooling to deal with that problem.

Mass schooling gives people a sense that they don't need to learn by themselves. Stop learning at the age of 16 for high school or age of 22 if going to university.

Complexity went ballistic after WWII. Countries that implemented mass schooling before WWII, harvested the benefits of the capacity to deal with complexity. They managed the system to their advantage and fleeced the uneducated.

Uneducated went catch up. And took half century to come on par with the head starters.

While the uneducated were trying to catch up, the head starters rested in their laurels. Safe on the belief that their advantage would last forever.

The companies in their countries witnessing the coming of the ones catching up, sent the work to be done out there. Thus starting the impoverishing of the ones that no longer had an advantage vis a vis the developing countries.

Companies want to keep more of their profits to themselves rather to pay a mass of salaries for the head starters. The advantage was now with the ones that catch up.

Next if I have time, I will tell you what companies did to stupidify their employees. Too busy here.
