RE: What is Power? - Introduction
Yeah, that point with abdicating power to another person is very true. Actually entire society is modelled in a way that the ego butters up on the greater ego and slaughters the lesser. But of course this power is illusory, because it is not inherent within. So we have a self-perpetuating cycle of artificial power always dependent on the external.
Power seems to be the only structure that remains forever in life, even after big societal changes.
Power just reconfigures itself but he is king of permanence in human life because it is a disease of Human nature to ascend the stairs of power like a super addictive drug.
Look at the comment of a big addict and violent power perpetrater:

Yeah, they literally treat people like chessmen with no emotional attachment to anything but winning the game at all costs.
