      OK cool I think we agree here - my only real objection was the connotation that startups rather than pirate ships were a natural thing to ... anchor on.

      Pirate codes range from 1.5x share to 5x share (or 10x share relative to the "boys"), sometimes also compensation for use of the ship if the captain owns it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_code …

      I think there's an important structural difference between piracy and business ventures on the one hand, and full-stack civilizations on the other.

      In the former case you're distributing "winnings," mostly liquid assets you can use to build a life elsewhere afterwards. In the latter case, you're distributing productive assets that continue to benefit the enterprise if well-used.

      This suggests that full-stack kingdoms should have less built-in pecking-order inequality than pirate ships (but also more track-record-driven inequality), since everyone benefits from more efficient allocations of productive assets.

      This also suggests that for nonextractive enterprises, women make better kings, since they actually *can't* consume as disproportionate a share as men can. A man can have a share-and-a-half via a second wife, but the reverse arrangement doesn't scale the same way.

      What are you picturing as the typical example of "consumption" (which are not used up in a civilization and which women use much less of than men). My prototypical example of "consumption" is food, which is used up, and which women and men eat in roughly similar quantities.

      I guess it changes (and the differentials on who can consume how much therefore change) depending on the level of scarcity. If workers are consuming enough food to work, how is the king going to consume 10X as much food? But there's limited capacity to make babies.

      I guess you can put some multiple of work into making sure the king has *pure* or high-quality food, but that's not really a reward that scales with his administrative competence, that's a risk-reduction measure to reduce dynastic uncertainty.

      Iliad reports large difference in physical prowess between named warriors (who are mostly kings) and unnamed ones, which probably implies a substantial calorie differential, but that tops out at ~2x & insulates kings from risk, opposite of skin in game.

          It's not that women make fewer babies then men (has to sum to the same total!), but # babies for men scales close to linearly with # partners, while it doesn't for women, so it's a rare case where lots of redistribution to king doesn't depress total output much.

          Bad for other reasons, but at least not crazy like trying to feed the king 100,000 calories a day.
