RBF Definitions
"I’m sure that with early physical man there was a young human born and the old king said… Young man, you’re getting too big for yourself. And then they’d have it out. But the big young man learns instinctively: I can beat these other people, but don’t let two of them come at me at once. Now this is what we call Divide and Conquer. Nothing could be more obvious. And so the big powerful man wanted some of these big men around to fight with him; so he said, I’ll make you the Duke of this, and I’ll make you the Duke of that.

You’re going to eat; you don’t have to steal”
