Oddbean new post about login | logout 最高层级的案例学习就像掌握了通解，而种种现象不过是代入具体情境的特解。 当你研究过一个历史朝代从0到1如何建立执政合法性的时候，你就对一切的人设建立怯魅。 当你研究一场真正拿人命为筹码的战争的每个节点及其选择之后，你就对现在所有的商业战争怯魅。
The history of govt for most of the world is the same. One group of people violently and viciously attacks another group of people to steal their resources. Once they conquer, they calculate that it's better to keep the victims as slaves and steal their productivity, than to kill them all. Over time, the process of theft and control becomes a standardized process and procedure. Mythologies are often created to justify this reoccurring attacks and theft.
