avoid domination by vicious m. 1 paragraph

70:12.115. Dom­i­na­tion by vi­cious mi­nori­ties.

secondary midwayers subject insubordinate 1 paragraph

51:3.6The sec­ondary mid­way crea­tures are in­dige­nous to the Adamic mis­sions. As with the cor­po­real staff of the Plan­e­tary Prince, the de­scen­dants of the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters are of two or­ders: their phys­i­cal chil­dren and the sec­ondary or­der of mid­way crea­tures. These ma­te­rial but or­di­nar­ily in­vis­i­ble plan­e­tary min­is­ters con­tribute much to the ad­vance­ment of civ­i­liza­tion and even to the sub­jec­tion of in­sub­or­di­nate mi­nori­ties who may seek to sub­vert so­cial de­vel­op­ment and spir­i­tual prog­ress.

smaller, contrary-minded asocial associations 1 paragraph

81:6.3412. The will­ing­ness to co-op­er­ate. One of the great hin­drances to the prog­ress of hu­man so­ci­ety is the con­flict be­tween the in­ter­ests and wel­fare of the larger, more so­cial­ized hu­man groups and of the smaller, con­trary-minded aso­cial as­so­ci­a­tions of man­kind, not to men­tion an­ti­so­cially-minded sin­gle in­di­vid­u­als.

well-organized and superior m. have ruled world 1 paragraph

81:6.145. Ef­fec­tive­ness of ma­te­rial re­sources. Much de­pends on the wis­dom dis­played in the uti­liza­tion of nat­u­ral re­sources, sci­en­tific knowl­edge, cap­i­tal goods, and hu­man po­ten­tials. The chief fac­tor in early civ­i­liza­tion was the force ex­erted by wise so­cial mas­ters; prim­i­tive man had civ­i­liza­tion lit­er­ally thrust upon him by his su­pe­rior con­tem­po­raries. Well-or­ga­nized and su­pe­rior mi­nori­ties have largely ruled this world.
