An "idle thought" inspired by the conversion on my recent entries about pleasure restriction.

Human civilization is only possible because we are predators.

Ultimately the history of humanity is the history of class struggle, the battle between the haves and the have-nots.

What it is that the haves have changes over time. It used to be personal strength; then it became the ability to command those with personal strength. Nowadays it seems to be the ability to move businesses from one place to another, and the ability to move hatred from one place to another through demagoguery ... proving that, no matter how much the human race changes, the nastiest weapon in our arsenal is still the jawbone of an ass.
