A) Any given individual's thought processes can be deceived or even conspire to construct untruths or conceal facts --- and this refutes the claim that systems of thought seek truth, for self-interest and preservation underlie all thought processes and therefore preemptively distort any supposedly logical "system";
B) nor can any society avoid conflicts of interest or maintain a just, equitable system of governing, or assure sustenance, well-being and faithful partnership for all members if the above statement A is true.
C) by this reckoning, the aggregation of prosperity would be an expected occurrence in a just or democratic society however gradually it might be concentrated,
D) eventually it is this sort of monumental economic disparity that brings about war and revolt
E) It would be wise then to accept the notion that any given society is an organic entity, that it can evolve as a species or it can fail to thrive in the surrounding logos-sphere.
F) Seek beyond the personal interest then what would be truly just or unjust laws and institutions; a healthy society has a goodly amount of GIVE to balance out the TAKE.
Is the philanthropy of Bill Gates, or Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth" just a lot of smoke and mirror?!?
