I don't really get your argument here. Are you sure it's not an thinly-veiled is-ought argument?
Moral terms shape politics, politics shape laws, laws shape civilizations. How can you say they're not interesting?
Of course there have been lots of societies that put people in their place with no social mobility, which has the benefit of not burdening them with the choice of what to do with their lives. This is very practical, but it's immoral - from my point of view.
Luckily, we don't live in one of these societies, but maintaining that "privileged" status doesn't come for free. That's why I don't like your attitude, I am worried you will make extremely poor political decisions because of it.
