can’t believe I’ve never done this synthesis before:
the job of a king is to focus the time and energy of his people on what they would like to see more of
some other useful things are- building roads, standardizing currency, negotiating trade agreements, commissioning great works, celebrating noble deeds, generally things that increase wealth and harmony and trust amongst the populace
good vid using Gillette & Moore’s King Warrior Magician Lover framework + references from movies youtu.be
the crown is really a talisman which is basically a theatre prop for the directing of attention
this is also what trophies and medals are
not all heroes wear capes
not all kings wear crowns
prestige/accolade-maxxing is a kind of spiritual cargo-culting, it’ll feel hollow if you sacrifice your spirit to do it
the final measure of heroism/kingship etc is your own heart
you can’t admission-hack into Valhalla
