Cool. Let me ask you this: what philosophies and rules did the founding fathers set down in the founding documents for America?
Those are WAY wordier than what I put here, and they worked for a couple of centuries. Brainpower isn’t the issue here, it is the ethical intent and devising rules that naturally lend themselves to be self-enforcing, that matters.
Caste systems don’t allow ordinary people to change their lot in life. What I am proposing is that jobs have codified incomes, education PAYS people to learn, citizens guaranteed an income even if they don’t have a job, universal benefits that apply to migrants, everyone pays taxes that increase with their income rank, and that companies pay 100% taxes once their income or wealth expands past a cap based on the people they are employing, that naturalization for citizenship is automatic for migrants.
The only caste I want to create, is that everyone has prosperous agency. That requires the creation of wealth floors and ceilings, ensuring workers can vote for leadership and what income they are owed, and so forth. Mechanisms intended to destroy the ratchet effect of wealth and the influence of a powerful few.
Castes are all about ensuring specific people are strong at the expense of everyone else.
Me: “if your policy isn’t understandable by someone with an 8th grade education, you’re doing it wrong.”
You: “Here’s my slide deck.”

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to embrace this weird caste system you want to create.
