He rejects Tate's glorification of such a model, pointing out the inherent brutality and the historical downfall of tyrannical figures.
• Consequences of War and Dominance : Gura discusses the futility of war and the idea that seeking to dominate others only leads to a cycle of being dominated in turn.
