pronounced soup theery
This theory classifies people in 3 groups "sups" or super-legitimate (legitimacy referring to their compliance with the archetypal human), "meds" medium-legitimate and "uns" un-legitimate. It's extremely judgemental sounding, just wait.
Sups are characterized by selflessness, wisdom and knowledge, maturity, family and community involvement, balanced finances, and at least some social skills. They are rare.
Meds are less rare. They are aiming to be Sups and are just not quite there.
Uns have no desire to improve and are skating along doing what they wish. Most fall into this category.
My theory mainly surrounds the intermarriage of these 3 groups. Lots of uns and meds marry within their label or marry each other. Sups seem to be the exception, perhaps because there are so few examples that come to mind. They tend not to marry other sups, often marrying both meds and uns. This is a strange anomaly, since it would seem that two sups would create an exceptional family unit and do much more together than they could alone, or than they could while married to lesser levels of legitimacy. See how much more judgemental this got? I told you to wait.
