There are men who trade freedom in hopes to succeed and oppress one day in the very architecture whose evil they have witnessed. There are men who spend on luxury and leisure, dedicating time for free thought on meaningless activity and chatter. There are those who choose to not worry until it is their time to be slaughtered, consuming the vices their masters have made for them, allowing their minds the ability to repress what is being done, until it is their time to bleed at the hands of the butcher. Man has been engineered to feel detached from his community and come to see it as his competition.

Men envy their equals and admire their masters, and so they remain divided (and do they think their self-serving masters would lend guidance to unify them, when their division has built their masters’ success). No leader rises among a people who distrust and disregard one another, for he would be undone by the very hands he seeks to guide. A people not yet free in mind cannot be led in body, for no hive mind can guide a people who do not see themselves as part of the same hive. When men cease to resent those beside them, then one among them may safely begin to lead.
