It seems a lot of hard work for no good end. It reminds me of a video of two bull seals fighting at the edge of the water. They were very focused on biting the other and defeating them to establish dominance.

Suddenly one turned and ran. Victory seemed at hand for the other. But his moment of glory and testosterone boost was brief because behind him surging out of the sea was a dirty great killer whale that successfully grabbed its dinner.

Seals don't do cooperative enterprise so are forced to compete, red in tooth and claw. So it was too for humans since chimpoid times when human life ran on hunter gatherer found wealth territorial alpha male totalitarian genocidal dominance hierarchies.

In recent millennia there has been a trend to greater and greater regions of transactional libertarian private property rights within civilisation. Life is pretty good, relatively, in such regions. But there are places where the old rules apply. Such as where Kim the Fatter, Robert Mugabe, Chavez, Idi Amin, various jihadist rulers and whatnot rule the roost.

It's a Gordian Knot that needs to be untangled. Or otherwise resolved. Your description of a solution is a black hole of introspective nothingness which would result in the Gamblers Ruin problem.
