dude this gave me a revelation, the ancient meme did.
We ask "why is this, why is that"
We look at this meme and see the puppet strings, the hands held between the 'enemy' leaders as they orchestrate the battles of lesser men.
Thats our question 1, "why why why ugh its so horrible why is the world this way" and we isolate that question, without answer or with.
Totally shift thinking now... forget those....
We(people) also occasionally ponder how to 1 - control humans, 2 - control others and 3 - prevent being controlled and 4 - understand how control works ,,,,, ie: power and lust for that few overcome or reject and most in our culture revere
place the two questions beside each other and watch them latch like magnets as all is made clear:
The rulers ask "how to control a population"
and now you have the answer.
(I know its not a revelation per se, but for myself it was a moment of clarity and certainty)
