"The Takers have a knowledge that enables them to rule the world, and the Leavers lack it."(Quinn, 155)
Question: Are the Takers more knowledgeable than the Leavers because Leavers lack this knowledge? Or for other reasons?
Comment: I'm not sure if I agree with Ishmael on this point, but I do understand what he is trying to say. I'm not really sure that Takers really have this "knowledge" that is mentioned. They think they have this knowledge because they are more advanced than other species on this planet. I think that the Takers do not rule the planet. The "Gods" do. The Takers just think that they rule the world. They might be on their way to ruling the world, or they might even be starting to take over or conquer the world. I think that the Takers are more knowledgeable in certain areas than Leavers. However I do not think that the Takers are more knowledgeable all around than Leavers. I think that Takers aren't at all very knowledgeable about the state of the Earth and the way that they are behaving towards the Earth. All they care about is taking over the world and destroying the Leavers. What they don't realize is that the Leavers have so much knowledge that they do not have. When Takers destroy another Leaver community, they are destroying a culture that has been going on for years and years. They are destroying a way of life.
