Far from certain, I would opine that this is an assumption and, frankly, one not supported by evidence.

He could have been a teacher, spiritual leader, skilled in preparing food, perhaps good at producing/repairing things. There are probably several things he was good at that I have not listed. Any one or a combination of them could be of value to the group.

I agree with Captain Jeff, though i find G. Rivet's take in "equality" interesting.

Those people described are useless because they are not useful or "valuable" to feed the golden calf, but this golden calf is probably the reason why they made their decisions. It is the system itself that produces problems, and unequality.

If the world were just 300 people, then I'm afraid one of them still would be Justin Bieber.
