* The idea of using bonobos as a way of making the people inherently calmer and less aggressive is flawed. Yes bonobos resolve disputes through sex and are generally calm among each other, this is true. But we've seen through study that they are extremely aggressive and warlike to groups not seen as part of their own. Bonobos hunt in war parties, both male and female, and make intelligent surgical strikes against neighboring colonies of monkey and chimpanzees (and chimps are generally known as one of the most aggressive apes). They kill mercilessly and even take prisoners of war. So it doesn't seem right that putting bonobo mental conditioning in us would fix our aggressive tendencies, and you can't blame it on the time the novel was published, because we already knew this about bonobos at that point.

* The Scientists' social engineering doesn't make sense. Problem: an upper class of psychic people murders too many people. Solution: turn non-psychics into naked mole rats who can still be murdered, then set up a society for the elites where over 15% of children get brutally murdered, 100% of children need to be hypnotised and have their memories erased to have a semblance of a normal childhood despite their teachers murdering their friends, which isn't capable of protecting against the main threat to the current order, namely anyone who wants to kill people, and which commits regular genocide on the common people. Both the upper and lower class would have been better off if they had changed nothing. (Unless Akki preferentially target humans over non-humans, in which case the genocides committed by humans might be slightly less frequent than those committed by Akki, making the lower class slightly better off than before). For the psychic upper class, a society without death feedback seems to be little different from modern-day states where civilians can easily acquire guns. The formation of an Akki would be like the proverbial robbery of a gun store in Texas. Some people might be killed taking down the Akki, but at least you wouldn't have to declare the entire village doomed or send tigers to kill 15% of your children. Sure, an Akki against non-psychics would be like a 'fox in the henhouse', but as long as each of them kills less than 100,000 people before the psychic police take it down, it's still less deadly to the lower class than the current societal setup. While I do have the benefit of hindsight, the scientists must at one point have thought "hey, you know those psychotic mass murderers who kill indiscriminately? Let's make it so nobody can kill them!". Seriously, the Empire of the Cherry Blossom was probably better to live in.

**** All explanations on the "Akki" matter completely fit [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy psychopathy]] description. That being said, psychopaths are not particularly destructive, they just aren't feeling themselves "on the same level" as other humans (in extreme cases, they simply view other humans as automations with a complex behavior, i.e. something decidedly NOT like a "living person", like themselves). That's the primary cause why Death Feedback aren't affecting them. As for their destructiveness, it's simply a function of one's brain capacity. A clever psychopath will likely understand the fact that in some cases he must rely on others, must have a place to live, food to eat, and so on, and the extent of his actions will be somewhat limited by that reasoning.

** The conditioning and training of children prevents them from even seriously considering aggressive actions towards other humans, it's not like Death Feedback is an isolated kill switch that activates only on some specific conditions. It's more like an additional hormone- or neurotransmitter-activated CNS functionality, and thus it affects ALL human behavior related to aggressiveness towards other humans.

** Basically, Akkis are what happens when Death Feedback ''fails''. Akkis don't have Death Feedback, that's what makes them so dangerous.

And Goumas are just people who can't control their power. They don't ''mean'' to cause havoc and chaos, they just can't stop it.
