    This reminded me of this concept:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_overproduction

    Elite overproduction is a concept developed by Peter Turchin that describes the condition of a society that has an excess supply of potential elite members relative to its ability to absorb them into the power structure. This, he hypothesizes, is a cause for social instability, as those left out of power feel aggrieved by their relatively low socioeconomic status.

      I wonder how it will be if there are no elites? And all are equal?
