There use to be a generation of skilled leather workers who passed on their
skills from their blood line. If
today one spends lets say 20 years in just programming C, C++ and other
programming language then you can certainly conclude with great certainty that
he is an expert. Now imagine I pass my skills to my children and their children
and it continues in my family for millenia then my offspring in future who have
continued this legacy of passing down their forefather's skills to their
children will be the best programmers in the world (assuming that computer
programming is still a thing) because
What I acquired in 20 years, I will take atleast less than half of that time to
transfer my skills to my children. What they acquire in their lifetime they
will be able to transfer that knowledge to their children within a decade or
less. Since the knowledge transfer is exponential here the resulting family
line will be one of the if not the most expert in programming anything.
There are only certain skill which will last through out the ages like
farming
leather work
wood work
metal work
sculptures and construction
and many softskills like literacy, mathematics, particular fields of science.
example 2:
Doctors children become doctors and this continues for may be for 100
generations. The resulting doctors will be the experts at the chosen field of
medicine since the skills get passed on quickly and much efficiently.
This was the hindu caste system. A systematic way of ensuring the passing down
of skills and thus exponential improvement of skill sets, expertise and
knowledge about a chosen field.
It was social norm to follow their forefathers chosen profession and be better
at it and it was discouraged to divert from their forefather's profession since
it will disturb the transfer, preservation and improvement of knowledge and
skills of that profession.
There were 4 varnas
Scholar (brahmin) - one whose life will be in the pursuit of knowledge
Warrior (xatriya) - one whose life is of offering protection and war if
necessary
Trader (vyshya) - One whose life is involved mainly in trading.
Labor (Shudra) - One who is skilled in a (family) profession.
All castes would have fallen under one of these. A barber, a carpenter, a metalsmith were all
shudras. When abrahamics invaded india they assassinated the best of each
varnas (class) because they needed to weaken the society. That is why you see
most of the great art, sculptures, metal works like never rusting iron pillars,
mathematics and more were all from an era of pre abrahamic invasion.
They made the most skilled labor class leave their profession by telling
them that it is an oppression that they have to do the same kind of work that
their forefathers did and today those professions and industries are worth the
highest in terms of profit and money where as those who would have reaped these
benefits are trying to enter an office, work at a desk and do a mediocre job.
