Beyond a few pretty questionable assumptions at work here (that the labor market is an effective decider of what skills are valuable to society full stop; that someone's labor dictates what skills they have; that what someone has to offer the labor market could correlate at all to something like character), I would simply reflect on whatever thought process has brought you to the situation where someone simply says, in so many words, that "the meek shall inherit the earth", and your first impulse is to say "no, in fact, they are shortsighted and viscious people who get whipped into frenzies for often no reason".

I dont even think Rand would follow you there; I can't really think of any corollary to that sentiment other than fascist rhetoric. To know nothing of a group of people but how much they make at work, and to go that far in painting a picture of them... Its shocking! Haha

I'm sure you mean well, and are genuinely reflecting, but this is not a good look at all to anybody but the most rightwing people. What amounts Idiocracy lore is not a suitable or humane thing to ground political beliefs on.
