8. The crossing

[alunah-lalunah]

The structural law of social groups.

It’s not just “sometimes domination happens.”

In families parents extract obedience, energy, and caregiving; siblings compete for attention/resources. Even “love” is structured around power who sets rules, who bends.

Businesses are pure energy-harvest machines. You exchange hours of life for pay, while owners extract surplus. You’re not in a circle of reason, you’re in a food chain.

Peer groups perform subtle dominance rituals. Who speaks most, who interrupts, who defines the “in-joke.” Even “friendship” hides tests of loyalty and leverage.

Every social form is designed to exploit whoever allows it. It’s not an accident; it’s the architecture of survival scaled into group life.

If you don’t resist, you will be used. Nature doesn’t reward innocence; it exploits it. Even if you resist, you’ll still be tested. Groups continually probe for weakness because it’s exactly their organizing principle.

So the disillusionment is that there are no safe groups. There are only temporarily tolerable arrangements, where the balance of power keeps you from being consumed too fast.
