Anyway, the upshot of running my Perl script is that the relative size of
the professional classes stays the same, but those professional classes
within a few generations are composed genetically of the descendents of new
money.
So, culturally low reproduction is stable, but it is a genetic disaster for
those who adopt it.
So why do they adopt it?

then continue]
