They don't really exist actually, which is why our lives are so dreadfully boring.
But anyway, what does that have to do with me?
In case you think i wish to play the hero, you're wrong.

I didn’t think that. That’s just the reason they were created :’)
Same way that without evil there is no good.

Perhaps, true freedom is non-existence after all.
However this is how creation seem to be working. The more power you have, the more freedom you have.

What does the lack of power mean to you right now?
Money gives you more freedom, power alone might not. The government is controlled by the biggest corporations. If you join the government for power, you are not free, and if you join the most powerful you are as corrupt as the fat politicians.
'Creation' is a fiction developed by men. The history continues, as long as rules are allowed to be created by those in power. Thus true freedom is a concept (worth fighting for nonetheless).

You can be powerful and have many below you in terms of power.
But you don't have to be a powerful asshole and bully everyone below you simply because you can.
The assumption that you will most definitely do so if you get power is a stereotype.

The cost doesn’t have to be social. The simple fact that there's division, there's a cost. If everybody had the same power, there would be no power at all to be gained.
People work for money, hence you need it in order to have power. At least in the current society.
Still you have the power of voice, and history tells us that raising the voice is probably the most powerful thing. When people follow you because they believe in the things you believe, they are not servants, thus the power comes from the unity. Without the group, there is no power.

Let's take current Democracy as an example.
Do you think the Democracy we have is the real deal?

No. I don’t think democracy is right with its current definition.

I think it's no different than having a king to rule over us, only in the past we couldn't select our king and now we can.
Provided the voting was not sabotaged heh.

Yep.

So what to do? Fairly simple answer actually: Direct Democracy.
Humanity could easily create the means by which citizens of an entire country could vote on each and every decision the country makes.

It starts with the voting system being intentionally flawed: dubious transparency, binary voting, and the people that can change its rules, are the people that are in the power already. It is not in their interest to change it. Not to mention political campaigns before the grand voting is nothing but a farce. The more people think they are in control, the better for them.
I would like to see complete transparency as well as voting rules being controlled by the population. The binary choice allows for easily propaganda to put the minds of the people on their side. Something like condorcet would be a much fairer system.

Why have kings at all? Many heads thinking about a problem is superior to one crowned head by far, no?

Oh yeah. At least people have the choice on who to put in power, as opposed to monarchy.

But lookey here, nobody does that. I suppose our kings like being kings, or.. maybe it's the people?
Maybe people like having kings?
After all they can always throw a rotten tomato at a king when something in their life goes wrong, and who cares if the king was the one at fault or not.
Maybe we like blaming each other too much for our own faults?

Absolutely! There’s a need to have someone in which to look for, but also to blame when things go wrong. That’s likely to be a human trait.
