I found it hilarious how shallow the Dauntless's idea of bravery was. Well, I found the whole series hilariously shallow and ill-thought-out, but that all stood out to me as well.

The shallow idea of bravery alternated between making me laugh and pissing me off. There was hardly any respect for bravery in the face of dangers other than bodily harm.

I choose to believe that the author found an eight-year-old boy somewhere and asked him what makes someone tough and then based the entire faction in his answer. It's the only thing that makes sense.

That's a hilarious image.

I thought that was kind of the point. All the factions were hilariously shallow in their philosophies and that's why it was all artificially controlled.

It does seem that way in the first book... then comes the "because genetics" explanation. Gah.

You mean it gets dumber after the first book?

Yeah. Much more dumber. Basically, the "Divergent" are "genetically pure individuals", and that's why they embody all the personality traits.

Ugh, I't a mess but this post here explains it better:

DA

"Genetically pure"?

What the ever loving fuck...

Genes don't work like that.

Inbreeding, there's your reason.

*jaw drops*

Is the author fucking serious? O_O Wow.
