Effeminate and treacherous behavior is a function of increased technology and prosperity since it allows all violence to be abstracted away from reality.

Yes, there's great merit in the model of "skin in the game", especially for leaders. Violence is the ground truth, and we've gone way too far in allowing leaders to be untouched by it.

Take it too far though and you just end up incentivizing your leaders to be MMA fighters.
