Society is a pyramid. There has, since the beginnings of organized civilization, been a structure inherent in the nature of organization. society is organization. self-organization. the pyramid is the structure of that organization. The US dollar has on the great seal the pyramid, the greatest structures on earth are pyramids. Socio-Economic structure is a pyramid. The many (stones) are ruled (support) by the few (stones). Economical, Wealth is concentrated into the hands of the fewest. This follows the structure of the pyramid in even deeper ways, western economics follows the general division of society into three classes; "upper-class", "middle-class", and "lower-class". If we were to plot this upon a pyramid we find that the upper strata, being equal in height to the lower strata contains far fewer stones. This is the equivalent to the greater wealth of the upper strata being distributed among fewer individuals. The lower strata contain the greatest concentration of stones equal wealth distributed among a far greater number of individuals. "...and the 1/3 company of heaven was cast out." The greatest power is, of course, in the hands of the many. It is they who control the system, support it, and provide a platform for the upper to stand upon. The middle is the transition zone. the zone in which the translation and transmission of power takes place. The pyramid of ownership in the corporate world is very well known and in "Inherited Wealth, Corporate Control and Economic Growth: The Canadian Disease" by Randall K Morck, David A. Strangeland and Bernard Yeung. Sept. 14, 1998. The authors cite the international nature of "pyramids of control" in one case citing a 10 level pyramid and analyzing the Wallenberg Family of Sweden and the effect of their international pyramid of wealth control on the Ecuadorian economy. When we factor social stratification and political systems into the mix. the pyramidal nature of civilization becomes even more apparent. This is not deliberate on the part of anyone or even any group. This structure exists in nature with the alpha male and breeding patterns among higher mammals. This is a patten carved in the stones of the universe. So why do we hate it. Why on one hand do we worship the king and wish his downfall? Why does the king take from those at the bottom and simply keep it? is nature wrong? are we? is the concept of a sociological "cube" valid?
