This is exactly why I advocate for the concept of the Meta Father.

A true father doesn’t aim to dominate for its own sake—but he does exercise firm control over those who can’t yet control themselves. Not to stay above them forever, but to protect them from self-destruction while they’re in the process of learning, maturing, and gaining agency.

Dominance is a limited tool, not the goal.

It’s a stage in the path toward sovereignty—necessary for those who are still underdeveloped mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

The Meta Father takes responsibility, steps into leadership. He knows: many people won’t reach sovereignty, and some people can’t—whether due to age, trauma, intellectual limitation, or simply being too far gone.

But those who can mature deserve guidance. That’s what the Meta Father provides: a structure of order and discipline that allows potential to grow. He rules not to oppress, but to prepare people for eventual self-rule, if and when they become capable of it.

We don’t lead because we crave power—we lead because someone has to. And we lead like fathers, not tyrants. Firm now, so they can be free later. That’s the principle. That’s the path. That’s the Meta Father.
