  • 6:24 "Being a corporation, literally the embodiment of a group in society, is the way that the government learns to defer to groups."

    That makes sense because government is the original "corporation", the embodiment of society. The mere existence of another corporation exposes government as not representative of all the people and presents an alternative . So government has to find a way to cooperate with that group in order to maintain its authority.
