Episode notes

Societies have long been structured around hierarchies. The concept of authority is ancient, and in many cases, necessary—we often need leaders to regulate and maintain order, as many of us would prefer to be guided rather than give orders. Yet, there comes a problem once a person starts obsessing with power. Some of us might spend our whole life trying to prove our worth to the world. Some of us build our whole lives around trying to present an intimidating image of ourselves to the society, while betraying our real self in the process of it. It's only when we're confronted with mortality—when life is reduced to its most essential truths—that we may finally question whether superiority or inferiority ever really existed.Why would someone aspire to establish their dominance in the first place, if there’s no such thing as comparison for somebody one might call a free being. What is the ultimate point of power, what are the benefits of having it and what does it even mean – to be powerful? (I read 48 Laws of Power and I have a lot to say about it...)
