Then we'd find another way to identify the top of the social heirarchy and watch shows about them
It would be about the smart people who forward the human race and they would get credit for it.
Lol. That would be such a boring TV show.
Not necessarily. Smart people have interesting lives too.
You don't lose a character arc just because you have more than two brain cells
"Good people get along and do good things and get credit for it" is not how you make a thrilling drama, lol. I would much rather watch an actor who is a sociopath play a character who is also a sociopath in House of Cards.
No one is saying don't make thrilling drama. But there's a wildly successful British baking show that proves wholesome works too.
Instead of defaulting to cynicism and worshipping money/power, let's make some thrilling drama that don't involve shitty rich people.
I bet you watching rich fuckers eat shit would sell very well given the current climate of neo-feudalism
