Do you remember how it was when you were a child and played with your teddy bears or maybe with building blocks? Maybe you played on the beach. Maybe you played family and everyone had their chores.

Whatever you did, whether you did it alone or with many, there is something about it that is unlikely:

In all likelihood, your parents didn’t teach you that little Nancy is a queen who gets to explore the whole beach in one giant stride and is worth 9 gold stars, while Paul has to be a pawn who, when playing tag, is only allowed to limp once and only in one direction before it’s the next person’s turn. He may only reach to the side like a drunk and never may he catch someone who has cheated his way behind him by stepping back. Also, he is only worth a ninth of what Nancy is worth. He will not inherit the kingdom either. He will be a dwarf compared to little Nancy. He will not be the king’s spouse like Nancy. The only way to social advancement is to completely renounce all his being. And with this possibility Paul is still gifted. None of his friends will be able to improve his social status at all.
Does this sound like a game for children? Only sociopaths teach their children caste systems as models of a social form. Help us push back the spread of chess and report apologists of caste system games to your local thought police.
