胜利的团体重新分裂为左派和右派几乎是社会物理定律

在争夺任何稀缺资源时,如果一组组队而另一组不组队,则第一组往往会获胜。这就是人类倾向于合并为两个派系并争夺稀缺资源直到一个派系获胜的根本原因。获胜的团队享受短暂的蜜月期,之后通常会分裂成新的左右派系,战斗重新开始。

When fighting over any scarce resource, if one group teams up and the other doesn’t, the first group tends to win. This is the fundamental reason humans tend to consolidate into two factions and fight each other over scarce resources until one faction wins. The winning team enjoys a brief honeymoon, after which it often divides into new left and right factions, and the battle begins again.

要解决这个问题只有一种方法,那就是把蛋糕做得更大

Everything changes when a frontier opens up. A new realm of unoccupied space means resources are suddenly less scarce. An aggrieved group can choose flight rather than fight. The would-be revolutionary doesn’t have to try to overthrow the ruling class anymore. Those who don’t like the current order can leave for the frontier.
