Suppose that you saw a post without any votes yet . The vote buttons in front of you, which ones would you use? The upvote? Or the downvote? The one on the top? Or the one on the bottom? Usually you would take the one on the top. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own vote first.’ …Yes? If the first one upvotes the post, then there’s no choice but for others to also upvote. The same goes for the downvote. Everyone else will downvote the post , because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who upvoted or downvoted first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘upvote or downvote?’! In a Society like this reddit post, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this voting principle. And the one who ‘cast the first vote’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this post, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘person who made the post’ will take the first vote… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals.
