    Perhaps partly, my personal belief is the is traces back to early tribal days. I believe the first cultural leaders likely struggled with retaining control and authority at a certain point. After all, there is only so much you can threaten people with to keep them in like. The worse of which is death. A sufficiently motivated person may not care about their physical well-being if they want to achieve a important enough goal. Create an invisible “soul” and a space wizard that determines if that soul gets bliss or torture after death and it adds a new level of control.

    I really don’t understand why there hasn’t been a hostile takeover to boot him out of the company yet. Capitalism is all about money, money, money and “shareholder value”, yet they keep letting him tank that company into the ground.

    My guess is that they see it as a temporary loss, if they can dismantle the government and all regulations then they would be free to fully bypass labor, safety, environmental, and monopoly restrictions that hinder them today. As much as they seem to get away with now, imagine how bad they will be with zero restrictions.

    A well written article with a powerful message. I fear though that, for the US at least, it is likely too late. I believe we are past the warning bell as the article suggests and are instead bound now to watch helplessly as the manifestation from years of apathy rolls full steam into the ravine.
