Divide and Conquer Sequence:
"How did it happen that he became a specialist?
“It becomes perfectly clear that in the early phases of man discovering himself, to be sure that he would regenerate himself, he’s given the instinct to be hungry. If he says to breed, these are all built into him, so that there will be children… keep on regenerating himself, so that he has a functioning, and in doing that, he discovers quite early that the biggest guy can knock down the little guy. And that there’s only enough for one to eat. And maybe the big man isn’t too selfish, but he’s got these kids over here and they’re going to have to eat… To look out for My People. So the Big I’an began to answer who was going to eat. And it’s still that way. That’s still the basis of our power structure. We think about the simple matter of a big man, like a big stallion in a herd of wild horses. There’s a big young stallion born. He didn’t have to be, but he’s bigger than any of the others. And there’s an older, great big stallion, and he immediately challenges this young big stallion to battle, and the one that wins then disseminates the herd. And that’s the way that nature arranged to keep the most powerful of the breed going.”
