Why is race and nationality ignored so much in the lore? (why does the lore fail)

its not rude. Humans have a genetic drive to be productive unless they are on drugs or have a mental difference. If we didn't have a built in drive to explore, build, create, etc, then as a race we would have gone no where.

I'm prob not explaining it right but think of it this way. If you put almost anyone in solitary confinement for over a week, they will lose track of time, and essentially have a mental breakdown.
Our brains are built to "do stuff" and be social.

Same thing happens with the very wealthy. A lot of people who have a lot of money and decide to stop working and just lay around all day (often at a retirement age) experience severe depression as a result.

We just aren't built to sit around and do nothing all day. The average person should get bored of running along a repetitive path unless its stimulating their brain for some reason.

Let me put it another way: How long could you actually enjoy starting a red square? Try it. Draw a red square on a white peice of paper, get really close, and just look at the square. within 10 minutes time should start moving -really- slow. Like 15 min of staring will seem like an hour. And you will prob get drowsy, your mind will wander, you will want to do different things or sleep, etc.

unless your brain is different than the average person in which case depending on the difference a square could be a whole different experience.

but again, this is all really simplistic. Because you can easily argue that there are huge benefits to doing "nothing" like when you do meditation. However, if you actually watched the brain of someone doing meditation you would see their brain working. Whereas someone hitting a button repetitively or holding a button down and walking along identical paths that they have seen 100 times before, will not have much brain activity going on.
