Authority and Human civilisation

Mark McIlroy

9 September 2025



1. Authority is a spirit and energy level as well as an attitude and behaviour.

2. Authority exists in the animal kingdom as well as in human societies.

3. Too strong authority leads to ruthless supression of dissent, and miserable lives and servitude.

4. Weak or little authority can lead to starvation as there is no organised production or distribution of food.
