Lex delved deeper into his memories.
The Gon were a proud, war prone race who sought nothing but to expand their domain farther and farther. That did not mean, however, that they lacked intelligence. If that were so, they would not have gained control over 11 Major realms.
Through insidiousness and meticulous planning, they had designed their social structures specifically to promote strength, shun weakness, and engage in conquest. The humans were not the only race that they had caused to go into decline, which was one of the reasons they did not pay special attention to humans.
In general, the ideology that the Gon prescribed too was to have the general populace of their race be strong. So, in terms of governance, they focused on developing the whole rather than specific talented individuals.
Of course, that was only limited to the overarching governance. Within their societies, strong individuals obviously gained more attention and recognition.
