evil types, such as robbers, rulers, and other exploiters, don't actually create anying. their goal is enslaving and taking advantage of other people's creative efforts, which makes them dependent on others.

it is a very interesting concept, and i absolutely loved the book. like most social theories, if one can call it that, it sounds really good as an ideal concept, but in practice or in the reality of things it is something that will never be understood or achieved. however, the world would be a much better place if people set out to achieve it with half of their abilities.

take care of yourselves,

chamberlain
