DM: The only other option as Hegel pointed out (Phenopmenology of Geist)
is a fight to the death  to become the Master, and yet this is unobtainable 
as

There's only one cake, if we are not greedy there might just be enough to

and start an absurd cake trading market, where some of us will
starve but others will drown in cake
