Market manipulation is how the apex predator among humans exploits a herd of lambs for their own wealth.

It's not that strange that Christianity teaches being meek like a lamb; it has engineered an exploitable herd of such meek lambs.

Be lean, smart, and resourceful like a predator, not a fucking meek lamb as has been the case many times in history.

Byzantine Empire

"A cruel tax had been imposed on the corn of the husbandman:

one third was retrenched from the salaries of the public officers; and the standard of the coin was so shamefully debased,

that of the four-and-twenty parts only five were of pure gold."

E Gibbon
