RULE PROFITABLY OR BE RULED BY OTHERS

(good stuff)

The Dead are less costly than Competitors – rule by competition.

Competitors are less costly than criminals – rule by predation.

Criminals are less costly than slaves – rule by crime

Slaves are less profitable than Serfs – rule by force.

Serfs are less profitable than Employees – rule by law.

Employees are less profitable than Debtors – rule by credit

Debtors are less profitable than Followers – rule by religion, pseudoscience, and deceit.

Followers are less profitable than Sovereigns – rule by reciprocity

Sovereigns are less profitable than Rule – rule by all of the above.

Rule is always profitable.

Therefore, Rule profitably. Rule unprofitably. Or be ruled by others at your own expense.

All that changes is the number of people in each group.

As we gain wealth by incremental suppression of opportunity for parasitism, the median of the distribution advances in profitability.

But make no mistake: there are no conditions under which this hierarchy doesn’t exist.
