The Michael Scott Theory of Social Class states that the higher one ascends the ladder of the Educated Gentry class, the more they become like the character Michael Scott from the TV show The Office. The theory draws parallels between the three-tiered structure of the show's characters (losers, clueless, and sociopaths) and the three-ladder system of social class in North America (labour, educated gentry, and elite).
This post discusses the failure of the American Gentry, the impact of technology on the workforce, the two-class truth of society, and the need for a post-scarcity, class-free society. It also explores the rise of authoritarian leaders like Trump and the importance of abolishing hereditary social class distinctions.
