Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Do you believe that humans intrinsically lust for power as an essentialist point?
EDIT: for a dropped 'm'
See, I think that's where we disagree-- because I don't see it as an intrinsic codified that far back. If anything, I think that's just part and parcel of being socialized under the dictatorship of capital; where we're literally raised to prioritize competition against our peers, and more importantly, winning that competition. I only see 'power' as the means to the end of accomplishing the objectives we were socialized to chase from birth.
tl;dr change the society, change the socialization, eradicate the common, but not all-encompassing desire for power over another.
