the most upsetting thought-seed that keeps germinating in my mind, that I can't seem to shake or remove, is the idea that almost ALL of human behavior (outside of pure subsistence) is about playing games of social control. That it's so typical that most people don't even see it.

true. I wonder if it's possible to determine the extent to which a person can be satisfied with their achieved degree of prestige/status achievement. Are there some who would never be satisfied short of becoming Supreme Monarch?

I think if you've got the dominator/totalitarian program running on overdrive even Supreme Monarch doesn't satisfy you. nothing will. hence the ancient emperors and pharaohs obsessing over immortality etc.

It's not stupid to worry about succession when you're a monarch.
