Stratified Political Systems suggests that natural selection favours greater population density among societies that persistently try to annihilate each other. As a result of warfare, powerfully high energy societies tend to replace weak lower energy societies. The meek shall inherit the earth but the mighty shall take it away from them. Over population and intense warfare have been the most frequent signs of the maladaptive trends started during the “Neolithic Revolutions” (the time of the domestication of plants and animals, starting 10,000 years ago. From then on, it is not the best adopted but the most powerful societies that have survived and imposed their laws – for a while.
To explain this and how most of the world’s people have managed to find themselves at the bottom of the stratified societies there are ongoing examples of increasing amounts of authority and power. The “Memorial of Peace,” shows that some overstep their bounds by attacking civilized people in the civil-streets leaving the people vulnerable to attacks when we are suppose to be living the promise of Peace.
The Chieftain is no longer the egalitarian society but rather a ranked society. Most ranked societies are chiefdom. The position of the Chief is ascribed by inheritance rather than achieved by merit as well as clearly defined areas of authority. A “Big Man” of Melanesia can never attain the power, wealth, and influence the Polynesian Chief whose carefully calculated generosity is expressed in the form, called Anthropologist. “stratified redistribution.”
This is a new week. What is “Stratified Redistribution?” Are you a chieftain from inheritance or one from merit? Why do governments destabilize? Huh? Who makes money from attacking people living in Peace and attacking people on civil streets living in Peace, destabilizing economies, countries of families? Who benefits huh? Tell me that…and is it me who benefited from the upheaval and distractions of the real underpinning of our democracies? Huh? Did I? Did I benefit economically? Huh? Hello Making soup and cleaning. What did I benefit? The only thing I got from 2014 to 2024 is a headache.
If anyone in power has an oz of intelligence they already know this, that Anthropologically unlike the egalitarian redistributor who works the hardest and eats the stale cakes, the chief is exemplified by the leader of the Trobrianders who work less than others and because he manipulates his kinship ties, he may have up to 60 wives and receive gifts from their many brothers. He keeps part of these to pay such specialized builders such as canoe builders, the most feared sorcerers who support his prestige and help him force at least some of the time, some of the people to do his bidding. He gives the rest away in lavish feasts in which his generosity, wealth and authority are glorified and magnified. It is unusual for Chiefs to rely on kinship ties to validate and maintain their position.
A significant difference between chiefdom and tribes is unlike the tribe leaders – the chief may ask others to do things he might never do himself. Many social positions are ascribed in a ranked society. Unlike a frustrated hard working and exploited headman where a chief often enjoys higher standards of living and other privileges which make his rank desirable. This leads to many fratricidal murders. to replace a stubbornly lively chief or a dead one. Unlike States ranked societies ascribe respected ranks and authority to only a few, but do not deprive most of the people access to strategic resources such as land,water, wood, etc. carbons, phosphorous, elements, molecules, and equilibrium of cells. Differences in status do not necessarily entail differences in access to the local means of production, but mean but merely as in – Tikopia _ differences of rules in the applicable rules of etiquette, and marks of respect for tax payers of which we are entitled. While chiefs usually have much authority but little power, on the contrary, coercion and the exercise of power are essential to State control of population. Warfare has not been adaptive. It is a act of using too many resources not for constructive use of family resources but destructive use of other societal stratified systems and political is a constant in trying to disrupt the equilibrium of stratified societies in 2025 from 2014.
Prove me wrong in this case of above for Truth….
