Simplify the shit.
Lets turn all this shit into two cavemen. One caveman gets lucky (Caveman A) and digs up a few more roots than the other one. The other one is unlucky (Caveman B) and doesn't really have enough to eat.
Caveman A says UNGH UNGH and gives Caveman B a few of his roots. They chow down, but now caveman B is indebted to caveman A. Caveman A goes on to to this to everyone, because he's just a lucky bitch like that. Fast forward about 20 years. Caveman B makes knife out of flint. Its really useful. All of the sudden caveman A walks up and takes the shit, because everyone is indebted to him. Nobody argues. Now caveman A is owed a bunch of favors, and has a powerful tool. Fastforward five years. Caveman A is fucking alpha. He pretty much owns everything, and all the other cavemen are pretty much only "allowed" to use their own inventions and eat their own food cause he's such a super guy.
