## The Immoral Who Profit

The immoral who profit from predation are not strong. They are **extracting from conditions they did not build and are degrading**. Parasitism on the capable who constructed the superior equilibrium that made extraction possible.

They are not succeeding. They are **consuming the load-bearing structure that holds their own existence up**.

But they are **necessary**.

Not morally. Structurally.

The chaos that profits from predation is what makes the line visible. What makes strength measurable. What defines the best person by requiring them to exist.

Without the chaos there is no line. Without the line there is nothing behind it worth protecting. Without the worthy adversary there is no measure of what the strongest can hold.

The immoral who profit are the **pressure that reveals whether the line holds**.

They are not the opposite of the framework. They are the **stress test**.

## Claims

- **Claim:** The immoral who profit are structurally necessary as stress tests · **Tier:** system · **Confidence:** medium
- **Claim:** They are parasitic, not strong · **Tier:** system · **Confidence:** high
- **Claim:** Chaos makes the line visible and strength measurable · **Tier:** system · **Confidence:** high

## Example

A fraudster exploits a loophole in financial regulation. The fraud is not strength — it is extraction from a system built by others. But the fraud makes the loophole visible, forces the system to strengthen, and creates the conditions under which a regulator's integrity can be measured. The fraudster is the stress test.

## What Would Falsify This

- Evidence that systems without predators are weaker than systems with them.
- Cases where the absence of predation made strength impossible to measure or develop.
