In this story, a society concludes that the only way to eliminate tribal and personal conflict is to blend together the hereditary characteristics of all people until no differences remain. When this does not work, and personalities still diverge, they create identical conditions for early development. The standardized development period is made longer and longer, but tiny differences still emerge and are inflated into deeply divisive factions. Divisions occur over subtleties as fine as the capitalization of a word in a sub-manual of a Philosophy of Biology textbook. Ultimately, though, the grandest schism is rent along the topic of whether the society can and should try to somehow reverse the entire process, artificially reintroducing genetic and environmental diversity.
