Yes, because time and again we see that we're all the mob, and someone always has leisure, and money, and power, and it always ends badly. Ignoring that and pretending that the current order (whatever current happens to be) is somehow "ordained" or "natural" or "necessary" is a sop to the ego that's as old as the written word at least.

All examples of someone with power having leisure time ends badly?

I can see how what I wrote can be read that way, but I meant more that human history and the history of humans in power is not a positive history.

Ok I see.

Completely agree on your idea of a state of affairs being "normal"/optimal/best/whatever....getting everyone to agree on that principle would be a good start.
