The individual is not of lesser value than society.
Societies exist only to benefit the individual. Were
it not for the individual progress of it's members,
society would not progress at all. The individual is
the first mover. All progress stems from the
individual. Hence, the individual is superior to
"society."

We are each and every one of us superior to society.
Wonderful and true!

Patterns that serve the individual will have a
positive effect on society. Patterns that serve
societies only serve one end. The acquisition of
power.
