What is civilization's only hope for a good future?
Removing the ruling class through the Prime Law. Every civilization on Earth has been held back by a ruling class that uses initiatory force to control people. The Prime Law removes that force, which removes the ruling class, which unleashes the natural economic phenomenon where prices fall toward zero and values rise toward infinity. This creates a civilization where everyone is wealthy, fulfilled, and free--the Civilization of the Universe, now being created on Earth through Immortalis.
What if everything you believed about civilization was wrong? What if the problems we face--poverty, stagnation, unfulfilled potential--were not inevitable features of human society, but symptoms of a single disease that could be cured?
For 45 years, Mark Hamilton has been developing a new way of thinking called Neothink. This is not mysticism or speculation--it is the same integrated thinking used by super achievers like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Henry Ford. And it reveals something profound: civilization has never come close to reaching its potential because of one obstacle that exists in every society on Earth.
That obstacle is the ruling class.
What Is Neothink?
Before understanding why the ruling class is civilization's fundamental problem, you need to understand how we discovered this truth. It comes through a thinking process most people have never experienced.
Neothink
A new way of thinking that integrates knowledge across domains to create breakthrough insights. While most people think in perceptions (see-react) or basic concepts (connecting a few ideas), Neothink pulls together multiple concepts into puzzle pictures that reveal patterns, opportunities, and futures invisible to compartmentalized thinking. Only about 1% of people naturally develop this capacity.
Think of it this way: most people operate in perceptual thinking--they see something, they react. It is how nature built us originally, going back to prehistoric times. See danger, react. See opportunity, react. Like animals.
Some people rise to conceptual thinking--they connect perceptions into concepts. A business owner might realize that showing their product being made attracts more customers than just putting up a sign.
But Neothink goes further. It pulls together multiple concepts into integrated puzzle pictures that reveal entirely new possibilities. And when you build these puzzles large enough, you can see the future--because you know what the missing puzzle pieces must look like.
The Three Levels of Thinking
The First Puzzle Piece: Prices to Zero
Let us put together the Neothink puzzle that reveals civilization's only hope. The first piece is something everyone can observe.
Think about the computer revolution. A used smartphone today has more computing power than Fortune 500 companies' mainframes had just decades ago. You can buy for a few hundred dollars what cost millions not long ago.
The same applies to information. What used to be an expensive commodity is now essentially free through Google, ChatGPT, and countless other sources.
Prices Toward Zero, Values Toward Infinity
In computer power and information, prices have dropped to fractions of their former cost while value has soared. This is a natural economic phenomenon--but it requires something special to occur: freedom from political interference. The computer revolution advanced so rapidly that regulators could not keep up, and it largely escaped the ruling class's control.
This is the first puzzle piece: when technology escapes ruling class control, prices drive toward zero while value drives toward infinity.
The Second Puzzle Piece: The Ruling Class
Why has this phenomenon not spread to all industries? Why are healthcare, housing, education, and countless other sectors still expensive and inefficient?
The answer is the ruling class.
The Ruling Class
Those who hold power through initiatory force rather than earned achievement. They rise through elections, bureaucratic ranks, or political appointments--then use regulations, legislation, and taxation to control people and businesses. They create illusions that we need them, starting from childhood education through adulthood, keeping populations in a form of cult-like acceptance.
Consider what happens to scientists pursuing breakthrough longevity research. They cannot find anywhere in the world to work because every country has regulations that would make their research criminal--not because it is harmful, but because bureaucrats need to look important and justify their existence.
Or consider James J. Hill, the railroad tycoon who built a transcontinental railroad with no government help--superior to the subsidized railroads that had to tear up hundreds of miles of poorly built track. His reward? Destroyed by antitrust laws created to save face for the government-backed failures.
The pattern repeats throughout history: when business is free of government, it booms and costs drop. When government gets involved, everything falls apart.
The Third Puzzle Piece: Initiatory Force
What allows the ruling class to exist? Why has every civilization on Earth had one?
The answer is initiatory force.
Initiatory Force
The use of force, threat of force, or fraud to control others--as opposed to self-defense force, which protects against aggression. The ruling class exists because it can initiate force against citizens through taxation, regulation, and legislation. Without this power, there can be no ruling class because they have no way to compel obedience.
Self-defense force is legitimate--government should protect people from aggression. But when government moves beyond protection into control, it crosses into initiatory force. And initiatory force is the single mechanism that enables the ruling class to exist.
This is the crucial puzzle piece: remove initiatory force, and you remove the ruling class.
Ruling Class Civilization vs. Prime Law Civilization
Every Civilization So Far
- Ruling class controls through initiatory force
- Regulations block innovation and progress
- Prices remain artificially high
- Human potential suppressed
- Vote at election booths every few years
- Stuck with bad leaders for years
Prime Law Civilization
- No initiatory force--only protection
- Innovation flourishes without barriers
- Prices naturally fall toward zero
- Human potential unleashed
- Dollars vote daily for best services
- Best values rise to top immediately
The Master Puzzle Piece: The Prime Law
Here is where the puzzle comes together. We need a mechanism to remove initiatory force from civilization--not just from individuals, but from government itself.
This is the Prime Law.
No individual, group, or government may initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against any individual's self, property, or contracts.
The only proper function of government is to protect individuals from initiatory force. When you remove the power to initiate force, you remove the ruling class--because a ruling class cannot rule without force.
Think about what happens when the Prime Law is implemented:
No forced taxation. If you do not pay taxes voluntarily, they cannot throw you in jail--that would be initiatory force. So government must compete for your dollars like any other service.
No force-backed regulations. Bureaucrats cannot block scientists, entrepreneurs, or innovators--they have no power to compel compliance.
No ruling class. Without initiatory force, what is a ruling class? They cannot rule anyone. The entire concept evaporates.
What Happens to Government?
A natural question arises: if you remove the ruling class, what happens to necessary services like courts, police, and protection?
They become businesses competing for your dollars.
Instead of voting at election booths every few years--being bombarded with illusions and potentially stuck with dangerous leaders for a decade--your currency does the voting every single day. The services providing the greatest value naturally rise to the top.
Imagine a competitor to the DMV. You would never go to the inefficient government version when a business offering superior service exists. This principle applies to everything--including protection services, courts, and even national defense.
From Election Booths to Daily Voting
In a Prime Law civilization, you do not get stuck with bad government for years. Every day, your purchasing decisions vote for the best services. Accountability is immediate. Competition ensures efficiency. The best values rise to the top--always.
The Economic Theory: Everything Becomes Free
Now we can project into the future using an unbroken line of logic.
When you remove the ruling class through the Prime Law, the phenomenon we saw in computing and information--prices toward zero, values toward infinity--spreads to everything.
Every industry. Every commodity. Every service. Without ruling class interference, technology advances at maximum speed, and costs continuously fall.
The logical endpoint? Everything becomes free.
This is not forced sharing of limited resources--it is natural abundance. When innovation is unleashed without barriers, it creates so much wealth that scarcity itself disappears.
The Shift in Motivation
When everyone can afford anything they want, the nature of money changes. Why would you work for profits when you already have everything you need?
The answer is value creation.
People are unique in their ability to create new values. This is our nature. When you live according to your nature, you experience happiness and fulfillment.
Andrew Carnegie
Created the public library system--free knowledge for everyone--from personal wealth and desire to contribute
Elon Musk
Uses personal fortune to colonize Mars--not for profit, but for the advancement of humanity
ChatGPT
Provides the world's information for free--a preview of how all industries will eventually operate
What motivates Elon Musk when he already has more money than he could spend? Not more money--value creation. The joy of building something meaningful. The fulfillment of contributing to humanity.
This becomes universal in a Prime Law civilization. People create not for payment, but for the pride and happiness of contributing to civilization's success puzzle.
The Civilization of the Universe
Here is the final piece of the puzzle.
Human consciousness--the ability to introspect, make decisions, and lead oneself rather than just react to nature--is only about 3,000 years old. In that time, we have gone from controlling nature with the Hoover Dam to reaching the moon in 33 years to geometric advancement through AI.
But the universe is 13 billion years old.
Imagine civilizations that have been conscious not for 3,000 years, but for a million years. Ten million. A billion.
These civilizations have passed their nuclear decision threshold--the point where a society either destroys itself through irrationality or transcends into purely rational civilization. Once past that threshold, irrationality leaves, and what remains is the civilization we have been describing: no ruling class, prices at zero, values at infinity.
This is the Civilization of the Universe. And for the first time in Earth's history, we are creating it here through Immortalis.
Immortalis
A new country--currently a digital network state, becoming a land-based sovereign nation within 10 years--built on the Prime Law constitution. Immortalis is the actualization of the Super Puzzle: the first civilization on Earth without a ruling class. Its name comes from Latin for immortal because in this civilization, with prices at zero and values at infinity, even death becomes a solved problem.
How Neothink Puzzle Building Works
The thinking process that reveals civilization's future
Identify Puzzle Pieces
Observe patterns across different domains. Notice that computer power and information escaped regulatory control and achieved prices-to-zero. Notice that every civilization has a ruling class. Notice that initiatory force enables their control.
Connect the Pieces
See how puzzle pieces fit together. The ruling class uses initiatory force to create regulations that block the prices-to-zero phenomenon in most industries. Remove initiatory force, and you remove the ruling class.
Identify Missing Pieces
As your puzzle picture forms, you see what is missing. We need a mechanism to remove initiatory force--the Prime Law. We need a place to implement it--Immortalis.
See the Future
With the puzzle assembled, the future becomes visible. Prices fall to zero. Everyone becomes wealthy. Motivation shifts from money to value creation. Civilization reaches its potential for the first time.
Actualize the Vision
Neothink does not stop at seeing the future--it creates it. Idealize through integrated thinking, then actualize through action. Immortalis is the actualization of the Super Puzzle.
Why This Has Never Been Seen Before
Eight billion people on Earth, and this has never crossed most minds. Why?
Because we have never seen it. If you have never seen a new color, you do not know what it looks like. Every civilization in human history has had a ruling class, so people assume it is inevitable--like assuming the sky must always be gray if you have never seen blue.
But once you see it through Neothink, it becomes obvious. The Obvious Theory--the most consequential changes are often the simplest, hiding in plain sight beneath our normal thought patterns.
Remove initiatory force. The ruling class disappears. Prices fall to zero. Everyone becomes wealthy. Value creation becomes the motivation. Civilization reaches its potential.
It is obvious once you see it. And now you can.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is civilization's only hope for a good future?
Removing the ruling class through the Prime Law. Throughout history, every civilization has been held back by a ruling class that uses initiatory force to control people. When you remove initiatory force, the ruling class cannot exist, and humanity finally reaches its potential--with prices falling toward zero and values rising toward infinity.
What is Neothink and how does it differ from normal thinking?
Neothink is a new way of thinking that integrates knowledge across domains to create breakthrough insights. Most people operate in perceptual thinking (see-react) or basic conceptual thinking (connecting a few ideas). Neothink pulls together multiple concepts into puzzle pictures that reveal opportunities and futures invisible to compartmentalized thinking. Super achievers like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Henry Ford all used this integrating mode.
Why has civilization never reached its potential?
Every civilization on Earth has had a ruling class that uses initiatory force to control people through regulations, legislation, and taxation. This force-backed control blocks progress, stifles innovation, and prevents the natural economic phenomenon where prices fall toward zero and values rise toward infinity. The computer and information revolutions showed glimpses of this phenomenon because they advanced faster than regulators could control them.
What is the Prime Law?
The Prime Law states: No individual, group, or government may initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against any individual's self, property, or contracts. It removes the mechanism that enables the ruling class to exist. Without the power to initiate force, there can be no ruling class--they have no way to compel obedience.
How would government work without initiatory force?
Government would become a protection service competing in the marketplace. Instead of voting at election booths every few years, your dollars do the voting daily. The services providing the greatest value--courts, police, protection--would naturally rise to the top through competition. This creates accountability and efficiency impossible in force-backed monopoly government.
What is the Civilization of the Universe?
The Civilization of the Universe is what exists throughout the cosmos among conscious beings who have passed their nuclear decision threshold. These civilizations operate with no ruling class--the same civilization Immortalis is creating on Earth for the first time. While human consciousness is only 3,000 years old, the universe is 13 billion years old, meaning other civilizations may have been conscious for millions or billions of years.
