I've not read that one, onto the reading list it goes.
But as to your assertions,
I reply, what is strength and power?
I say, means, which see unto ends.
There can be power in compromise, in cooperation.
As ego brutes tear into one another with vicious lack of cooperation, the meek are able to pool their strength and inherit.
I think there can also be power in a lack of cooperation,
But either case is situational, and at chance times, beyond efforts.
I think even when one is bodily enslaved by another,
Might has not made right, only circumstance,
The world continues to reside in both,
Perception and judgements still made by both,
The possible future is not closed off, even in jail, not even in an iron lung,
A human 'lives, thinks, acts deliberate, wills.
Still, proactivity is often useful, carves paths, future cuts.
Ego can see a person hold to their purposes and endeavors, achieve where another might not.
