Never enter into or escalate a conflict because your ego tells you to.

Only initiate or escalate conflict IF you calculate the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs.

An ego boost does not count as a benefit,

... This sounds obvious yet most people never figure it out.

Suppose you are walking down the street, and a man insults you.

The correct response?

Machiavellianism From My Father

The first place I learned cunning was from my father.

He grew up poor, and managed to go from rags to riches by starting a business.

The main applications of cunning I witnessed him execute?

... -Charming Customers, so that they'd buy product from his business rather than a competitor's

-Persuading Bankers, to lend capital to start and expand his business

THREAD:

If I wanted to destroy a society without War

(no bullets or combat)

what would I do? I would endlessly Print Money and debase the society's currency.

I would endlessly Print Money and cause Inflation, making Wages In Real Terms Go Down; endlessly make a majority of the population (Workers/Wage Earners) poorer on an absolute basis.

Wealth
Status
Likeability

These things are all matters of Life And Death

Ever wonder why people care so much about their level of Wealth and Status?

Ever wonder why people enjoy it when people like them, and hate it when people dislike them?

... It is because in our evolutionary past, and even in our modern world, these things intensely affect one's odds of survival.

Replace the phrase 'Wealth Inequality'

with 'Death Inequality'

and the world will make more sense.

More Wealth means a higher probability of survival.

Acquiring Wealth is not something you do for your vanity; it is literally a matter of Life And Death. Wealth And Medical Care:

If you are Rich, and you suddenly fall ill,

what will happen?

You can use your money to immediately buy easy access to the best medical care on the planet.

Your odds of survival are great!
