then the evil concentrates at the center of the circle instead of the immediat concentric rings surrounding and flanking it, anon. That's why Plato abhorred Tyranny, it allows for unchecked stupidity and narcissism to mask each other over and over and blatant theft and impoverishment of the whole race is exalted all the while. Dionysius was a fucking mongrel who did nothing for his wards.
