By and łarge yes, yøu’re cørrect. Whiłe the whøłe “słurry” part døes mean, statisticałły speaking, that particułar trøłł øf yøur same caste łikeły cøntributed tø yøur genes, the entire Ancestør cøncept is much møre cułturał than factuał. And since thøse øn the higher end øf the hemøspectrum łive sø łøng, they have the łuxury øf picking and chøøsing what they cønsider tø be a “sign” that they’re cønnected tø a specific førebear. They ałsø have the freedøm tø føłłøw that path if they chøøse rather than be shunted intø meniał łabør and infantry pøsitiøns. It’s a sełf-fułfiłłing circłejerk, essentiałły. M¥ høt take is that a sełf-fułfiłłing circłejerk wøułdn’t be sø bad if everyøne gøt tø take part, chøøse their øwn mødełs and inspiratiøns and thus futures, but yøu knøw what they say abøut øpiniøns.
