* Chicago's society seemed to have pretty big problems, mainly the ever growing numbers of disenfranchised "factionless". It makes sense in retrospect when you realize that the ruling party were Abnegation who were *not* the faction known for their brains, who likely saw the problem but couldn't see a way out of it. Similarly, the Erudites were actively plotting to take over, and so would have been disinclined to provide a solution to Abnegation
* Why are so many of the Erudites so morally corrupt? Because while other Factions are based on specific virtues (Selflessness, Kindness, etc...), Euridite is a Faction that centers on knowledge, which isn't necessarily a type of personality aspect that would so bounded towards teaching high morals.

* Why did Eric change the Dauntless system so that instead of accepting everyone who completed initiation, only the top 10 were accepted? Because by whittling down the number of members that join Dauntless each year - a faction that performs high-risk professions such as soldiers and acting as guards, thus presumably having a higher death rate - Dauntless will be weakened, both due to the lack of new members and due to inbreeding from a limited gene pool.

** Though as this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SvSni7xR5o video explains]], the fact that the society ran (or even formed) at at all is extremely unlikely, if not outright impossible. Considering that the city seems to lack essential workers. Ask yourself this when it comes to the society: Who cooks the food? Who makes the clothes? Who cleans up the city? Who powers and maintains the equipment? Who maintains the sewage? Are there any plumbers? It's never explained.

* Divergents may be rare, but Tris being one in particular isn't all that surprising. If factions are determined by genetic defects, then the Prior family is basically the perfect gene pool to counteract it. Tris's parents are eventually revealed to both be transfers from other factions (Dauntless and Erudite respectively). So Tris has close blood relations to a whopping three factions when most people in her society are only linked to one. Is it any wonder that she and Caleb both left Abnegation?
