You make some valid points here. It seems you have intuited that when people want to escape mediocrity they are doing so for reasons other than monetary profit. I invite you to refer to this essay I just published on Medium:

Also, I appreciate that you distinguish between the resistance a family system shows to a person’s attempts to change and the need for corporations to keep a certain number of workers at a designated level (a la Brave New World). I”d like to see you flesh out each in separate sections.

Best of luck with your project.
