Why does evil always win?

[Black Dragon]

Another key component to this major distortion is the human relationship to authority. Very young, we are taught to simply treat people the way we want to be treated, but later on, that becomes supplanted and distorted by "respect for authority" and hierarchy. We are taught to be of service authority figures, and basically that authority is right even when it is wrong. We are taught that duty and obedience are more important than love and happiness and living by the principles we feel in our own hearts, and that outside authority is above the authority in our own hearts. We are taught that respect is a one way street that some people are entitled to it based on their authority, yet others have to earn it because of their relative position in the pecking order(even when it comes to simple orange ray relationships like parent and child). The people in the positions of authority tend to view those "under" them as human resources rather than "charges" who's well being and happiness they are responsible for facilitating(they want the authority, but not the responsibility that comes with it).

Those with a natural STO inclination can then find themselves wasting their time and energy serving morally and intellectually deficit authority figures and thinking they are "doing their duty" by making such sacrifices and self-denial, even though it is all wasted on STS people and institutions who create nothing but misery and entropy and waste, and continue to perpetuate a zero-sum system of "winners and losers" rather than a zero-point system of efficient symbiosis and teamwork.
