This has likely come to be, because those who have been entrenched at the top of the wealth ladder, have had more time and resources to secure(together) their positions through exercising the power of that wealth.
Which allowed them to come up with many clever ideas, such as getting their slaves incorporated at as young an age as possible as an essential component of staying alive on average.
Let us just say at age 16 with social security(but it goes deeper really to birth certs and ecclesiastic law under commercial states/estates etc etc)
But never mind the securing of bondage/slavery. They were smart enough not to exclude capturing the minds of their slaves through the school system.
Which is why I once had the idea to try to build a computer game or minecraft community/server, which simulates law and jurisdictions, in order to teach children how know how to protect their estate purely from playing an mmorpg of some kind.
Maybe someday i can do this on Nostr, and less likely to get shut down.
Considering the relays, it may be possible to have experts play the role of judges and gain zaps or whatever, while sucessful players get to keep their estate(sats? i dunno..) or the judges and attorneys will take pieces of it through soliciting.
Anyway, you are correct, that it is not enough try to halt a wave with a surfboard. We have to get in there and start moving the seabed, trammelling new undercurrents to suck the momentum of these waves and slow the tide.
With the uncensored network, it might be one of the few chances left to make educational games that could truly educate fast and efficiently, to turn the tide. Play is one of, if not the fastest, way of learning.
