Abolish Property, Not Status
Human behavior is deeply influenced by social status, which is often viewed negatively. This dynamic reflects our evolutionary background, where tribal associations dictate our interactions.

Acknowledging this natural inclination toward status can help mitigate conflict and improve social cohesion.
