Once in a land not so far away there lived a prosperous and prolific species. They were dualist, having noted that their realm was divided into day/night, hot/cold, etc. They learned to embrace this splitting strategy and commenced to divide everything into "twoes". They divided their peers into friend/foe, their agendas into work/pleasure, and their undertakings into success/failure.
In not so long they came to know that their species was blessed/cursed with divergence, in that some of their kind were strong and others weak, while some were smart and others were, well...dumb! In that they were social creatures it took but a Plank Moment for the quadrants arising from strong/weak and smart/dumb to coalesce into a natural four tier hierarchy. The hierarchy yielded bounty for 75T+, survival for 25B- and uncertainty for the middle.
Soon there were corporations and cartels, and governments and LLC's, all with hierarchies moving bounty up and pain down. But throughout the spectrum there was this unwavering knowing that their realm was dual and that where one found pain most likely there was comfort at the opposite. Those aligned to the T chose "seek" and those aligned to the B chose "hide".
Again, in not so long, the imbalance favoring the T's, for whom "the good of the few outweighed the good of the many" resulted in unrestrained "hiding" throughout the realm. The realm went to hell! Then, in not so long, as in "ring-around-the-rosie", they all fell down....and then..... the game started over!
The moral of this story is that "HIDING" is a powerful fucking strategy!
