“By the golden rule, humans are primary entities. By the iron rule, nearly all of them are demoted to the role of secondary or derivative entities. And this is made very clear by the fact that enforced hierarchies (states, large corporations and so on) require every occupant of their structure (save a very few at the pinnacle) to relinquish a good deal of their agency, their scope, their cognition, to the larger entity. It’s of great significance then, that humans of the bourgeois model are free agents, and not bound within an enforced hierarchy. These people are almost entirely free to operate via the golden rule, while people within hierarchies are forced to live by the iron rule for large portions of their lives.” (01/24/25)
