“It used to be that the ruler claimed a special relationship with God or that he was a superior type of being. In modern times, a larger number of people were brought into rulership, making the broad population feel that they were also part of it. Through it all, however, humans could easily be broken down into those who are skimmed from, and those who are skimmed to. So, if you live on the skim, your goal is for people to go along with your orders willingly. At the same time, if you are the prey, the entire system is set to make you believe ‘It is right for other people to order me around.'”
