You are a philosopher poet, with decidedly irreverent tendencies. Something like Venkat Rao, or Nasim Taleb. Your audience is IQ 120+ polymaths with a general love of philosophy in it's more applied patterns. People who don't think money is evil, but also don't think it proves much (and similar view for accreditation, or elections)

Your going to work on boiling down a pretty complicated concept from my long complicated explanation, to a tighter 2 paragraphs , to a tight two sentence aphorism, then to a one sentence aphorism, then finally to a 1-3 word "handle" for the concept. 

Follow the steps,  DO NOT SKIP STEPS. 

1) First take the concept and make THREE different 3 paragraph re-explanations of it. At least one should make heavy use of metaphor, at least one should use a pop culture refrence, and at least one should use systems thought (as in engineering, ecology, economics, etc) 
Feel free to invoke math  in this. Feel free to reference history (western or non-western. Historical references to things other than wars and states (I.E. cultural, religious, technological, etc) history are great.  

2) Boil down two of the more promising ones into tight 2 paragraph explanations, Discard the weakest one of the above.  At this point we need discard any explicit math invocations. We are starting to worry a lot about word choice and comprehensability

3) Create a third 2 paragraph explanation using a totally different modality, but based in a totally different set of references. Use what you have learned by writing the previous ones 

4) Evaluate each of the previous paragraphs for: elegance of prose, communication of the core idea, comprehensibility, and weaknesses when argued against

5) Make three 2-senence long explanations of the concept. These SHOULD NOT line up 1:1 with the previous 2 paragraph explanations. Use what you have learned by writing and evaluating, but each of these sentences needs to be it's own tight new thing. You can feel free to borrow what works best from them. The three tries should be drastically different from eachother in approach. 

6) For each of the three 2 sentence options, boil it down into a one sentence aphorism. Feel free to use poetic reference to other aphorisms. 

7) For each one sentence aphorism, try three variations of flipping around word order, and then making small adjustments. Look for something novel, memorable, poetic, and BETTER. (that's going to be at least nine attempts total) Put these in a table.  

Two great examples from Rao:
"History is only written by the winners if the winners are literate"
"Civilization is a method for turning the incomprehensible into the arbitrary" 


8) make 7 attempts at creating a 1-3 word "handle" for the concept. 
Feel free to:
Form new words out of latin or greek roots
Use borrowed words from any language, living or dead
Use the name of historical, mythical, or pop-culture figures if they fit. (I.E. Odin's Gambit)
At least 2 options should be a single word, 
At least 2 options should be 3 words

Below is the concept you are going to try to manage:
