Superman vs the Envious

Of course, the leader of the ancient people is an unusual person, a talented and brave person. But he was elected at a difficult and dangerous time. It appears in an extreme situation. You can say it has a one-time application function. He is a war chief. For peacetime, groups of tribal fathers were always present, and they resolved all issues. And the honorary elders had their own children and their own relatives. After the war, the dictatorship of the leader seems to have stopped working. And again the tribal council met, where the priests decided everything. So in Ancient Sparta, the council of elders chose the leader, and not the leader chose the council of elders. And without Gerusia’s approval, the military leader couldn’t do anything. As a peacetime tribal administrative institution, any council of elderly priests was always superior to any hero. The hero is born for war, for rare and dangerous situations, and the old people were carriers of valuable life experience. For example, the council of elders of Sparta forbade King Leonidas even to take all the soldiers because of the holidays in honor of Apollo of Carneia. The gods are above everything! Above even the Persian danger. And Tsar Leonid went on a campaign only with the famous detachment of 300 Spartans. But the fate of all of Greece was at stake! The question arises: did the Ephors wish their king good luck?

For Sparta, there is such an opinion the best option was the death of King Leonidas. Which is exactly what happened. But this time the Greeks fought back. But it wasn’t just the Greeks who fought back.

At all times, the feudal elite (the Zerots) was separated from its people. In every possible way, it overgrew and released on occasion the tails of its ancient root. The traditional elite still shows that they are superior to other people. In fact, they grow tails and germinate the root of their kind-this is the meaning of life in the traditional world so that the descendants of the family do not experience problems with their status. So that no one can say to them: Who are you?

In this case, in Sparta, the superman (the Zelot) was King Leonidas, and his opponents were the feudal elite (the Zerots). In the clash of interests of superman and the envious group, the history of empires is determined. Some were heroes, others were envious and competitive. Some had already created their own family root, and some people wanted only fame. According to legend, King Leonidas was a descendant of the legendary Hercules. What else did the ambitious man need? Maybe the king wanted to be equal to Hercules? In that heroic time, glory and honor were more important than just life. It was not so much that such famous people and ordinary Spartans were obliged to die in battle. And they became heroes. The two Spartan survivors of the Battle of Thermopylae, even as messengers, deserved to be shamed. No one spoke to them.

For the same reason, starting from the end of the V century, the decline of Athens began. But Athens was the main rival of Sparta in the Greek world. The famous Athenian democracy contributed to the rapid degradation of the polis than backward Sparta with its primitive laws. And so it happened that 50 years later, just after the Greco-Persian warrior, a war broke out inside Greece, between Athens and Sparta. It seems surprising that the advanced Athenian democracy, by modern standards, has lost this duel of traditional systems. After the victory over the Persians, Athens was the only great city that rose. I will not consider all the twists and turns of these tragic events for the Greeks. What the Greek union turned out to be, and why Athens literally lost. The subject of this book is the empire, not history.

This meant that one of the two Greek states had to organize an empire as well. But neither of the two equal rivals managed to create a full-blooded and long-term empire. Everything was limited to the Greek world and the Greek lands. Athens and Sparta formed alliances of cities, but not an empire. All they could do was take a city from each other, tax it, and prolong their existence. The strangest thing, in this case, is that something similar to the empire was created by the Athenians, who had a trade and craft democracy. This meant that a large crowd of rootless people could and were eager to simply profit. Because for democracy, the most important thing is money. To increase their tail, every citizen tried to earn, trade, speculate as much as possible. No one knows the calmness of a democracy, but no one can guess why it is so uneasy. If anyone could tell these people that they were missing a tail, they would think that this person was crazy, he was just crazy. In fact, no one can guess what is the reason for this pursuit of money until now. Today it looks like a race for pleasure. Simply because the human family has ceased to dominate the modern world, the traditional institution of the family is experiencing a crisis. Two people are the minimum to create a family, only one man, and one woman, but there are only selfish singles who want pleasure. But even these singles want or pretend to want to start a family.

But when the Athenian democracy was in full bloom power, all the Athenians wanted to have a family. Therefore, the Athenian democracy, despite the fact that it is so-called, is still one of the subspecies of the traditional world, the traditional system. It’s just that democracy expands the number of applicants for elite status. In a democracy, money in the form of funds comes first. So there was also bribery. Honorary citizenship could be bought. Or just citizenship. Because in Athens, the ancient tribal elite still ruled. It was the elite that the merchants and artisans wanted to drive out all the time. As long as they were unable to expel, there was no way they could gain civil independence. So that no one can say: Who are you?

Glossary:

The Zeref- a traditional person with rigidly set social actions, low reflection almost zero, hence the word zeref-reflection zero (zeref).). Has no semitones, serves the idols of the genus, communicates in the circle of native blood. Zeref has no semitones of perception, is categorical, irreconcilable, hostile to others and to another opinion in the development of rejection of “not your own”

The zeref ‘s loop – the baby boom, overheating of the population.

The Zerot (zeroot = zeref+root) – the traditional feudal elite

Zerot’s loop – the creating a solid cast, impenetrable social barriers. None of the lower castes can enter the feudal elite. The lack of social mobility pre-revolutionary situation.

The Remid – a new traditional elite, rulers, officials, authorities, teachers; remid put actions for zerefs, determine morality, laws, politics, reflection average-middle (remiddle).

The remid’s loop – the struggle of the elite with the brightest personality, the collusion of second and third parties against the hero and the prophet.

The Refag- person of a trading civilization in several generations, reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high).

The Zeremid is man of the first generation of traditional elites (or city, fresh citizen), has a half-hard social reflex custom, neither the inferiority complex that wants to cover up, so invents a new ancestry, creates fine root, and it has the fancy “tail” behind. If this is a modern Zeremid, it is usually a former villager who has mastered the culture of urban life superficially, he is half urban and half rural.

Zefa is a man from the first generation of the city with inclinations towards the market and speculation, and to trade, at least what, he was forced by circumstances.

The zeremid’s loop – the Zeremids are approximate imitators. They imitate the elite, any idea, any direction just to be good for their families. By imitation, hypocrisy, and even fanaticism, they harm any cause, state, or idea. The hypocrisy, pharisaism, fanaticism, the adjustment of marginal strata to the existing idea and order. When the elite religious organizations from governments accumulate the Zeremids, there is stagnation and crisis. The collapse of the idea and system of Zeremids conformity inevitable. They adapt to the system for the sole purpose of supporting their family. That is, they do the same thing as the Zerefs, but for this, they want to get into the elite, the privileged stratum, or the state system, they quickly learn, master new skills, and imitate the formal standards of idea and responsibility.

The Zelot is a superman, a hero, a prophet, the most gifted among the traditional elite. A zealot is an ambitious but disinterested person, he is a fighter against the traditional elite (Zerots), with Pharisee officials (Remids, Zeremids), with the people, if the peoples are obsessed with dark passions.
