Bravo, Michael! I was musing about yesterday's conversation with you when I read this, and your concept has somehow grown even clearer and more compelling! Thank you for sharing your inspired insight here. This is such a deeply-rooted cause of our suffering.
I love this perspective on our current situation and its history. Steering civilization away from technofeudalism to a cooperative alternative will require changing the selfish strategy that most of us have adopted to cope with the rules imposed by rentier capitalism. How do we do this? How do we protect the cooperators in our prisoner’s dilemma from those who would exploit it?
