You've denied my logically-argued assertion, with an opinion that doesn't actually make a case. You're trying to make the case that power needs to be dispersed but you don't make the case for why that would be a good thing.
The problem is religion, because without religion the most power you might be able to assert would be getting your child to fight your battles for you. But you wouldn't even
feel in such terms were it not for some horrifying creepy Egyptian priests who have trapped the entire globe in a 4000 year time-warp, which hasn't actually been frozen.
We're going backwards. Watch as the exploitation picks up steam with technological advances. This is progress. We're going in the other direction to logical, and we're accelerating so fast no one has a clue how quickly it's all going to go boom.
The problem is power being in the hands of a few, solve that and the world can restore it's sanity.
Point out where the logical argument for your assertion has been made. You haven't made one.
Why would dispersal of power be a solution? The problem is not power. The problem is religion's fierce creation of the climate where power is inevitably going to be valued.
Those with money create poverty so that their money has value.
Those with power take dignity away from the powerless, for the identical reason.
Those with pain 'relief' create pain for the same reason.
Those with Supply create Demand.
The problem is religion. Religion functions solely for the purposes of control. Only the controlled ever grow up hungry for control. Why would you want the power to force other people to do things which aren't in their best interests?
Could it be that you have grown up without understanding motive? Why people do the things they do? Parents don't explain their insanity. They just hit you or give you a treat, depending on whether the FEEL you've done bad or good. There's no logic in this world, when it comes to motive. No one's position can be logically justified.
Everyone is imprinted. It's Numbers 31, but not as sociopathological. This is because humans have been Naturally Selected or Intelligently Designed to be sane / humane. Religion is unnatural. Creepy fucking Egyptian priests who weren't even all that bright, they just knew some secrets and they're not going to tell yoooouuuu.
They would have no power if they did. I bet they had a lot of fun making humans robotic. Robots are great fun. Sex dolls are great. The ones that talk like toddlers non-stop...

I wish I'd said Bullseye rather than Bingo but yes.
Power is an illusionary emotion. If you do not apply your power, it doesn't even exist. Welcome to the reason why you will ALWAYS have wars where power exists. Power must show it's force or it's an illusion. No emotional buzz without application.
That means they don't get high if you don't kill or die.
