@Quinn phil,
I would like to think of myself, in this story, as a Jim. Joes outnumber Jims, in the real world, due to society, culture, education, and the market - all combined.
Schools, especially the compulsory sort, want you to do what they say, when they say. Then they judge how well you did, but you have to do it in a certain way. Most "jobs" are the same way, you take orders, you do what the boss tells you. The government wants the same, they want predictability, it helps keep the peace.
If everyone was a Jim, more than a few people would not listen to their boss for good conscience or intelligence. Most kids would fail at school, because rote memorization and recitation that makes up compulsory education that rots kid's minds would be looked at in its true light. Etc...etc...
Joes are manageable, predictable, and disciplined according to society's standards.
Jims are Gandhi, MLK, etc...dissidents who stir up trouble.
