<Attacking human beings is inherently risky, so it's typically a desperation move.>

Yet it remains the most popular activity. Slavery is still rife, but it's conducted in a different way. The winning voters tell the others to hand over their money to be spent on the desires of the winners.

What's weird is that most people like the system. Yet they are victims of it.

Uncle Toms by the million. Better to feel safe as part of the crowd, even if a serf.

Gold is found wealth and finding wealth is the eons-long history of the biological realm. It is only in recent millennia that created wealth began and only in the last century that created wealth became dominant.

Even land was largely found wealth, though the increasingly sophisticated agricultural process was turning it into created wealth.

The majority of people are now involved in the created wealth process. Look at China go and India is well into it too. There's not much found wealth lying around in gold mines, oil wells and wild fish stocks to make many people rich or even comfortable.
