Imagine you were part of a family where a stepfather was in charge.
Since you and your brothers and sisters were not his actual children, he would exploit all of you. He would not see you as his family; he would only see you as a resource that could bring him benefits.
Everything he did would be aimed at squeezing more from you. Every decision would be guided by self-interest.
Do you think such a family would have a great chance of prosperity?
That is exactly what is wrong with our world now.
The people who seized power through deception do not view others as their family, only as a resource, as cattle.
The system is tuned for exploitation. And we, affected by this disease, also begin to view everyone as competition and resources.
Everyone is searching for ways to exploit anyone they can.
Do you think such a society has a chance of prosperity?
