Dive into a modern American fable that will captivate your mind and ignite your spirit. "Sheep Herders Wolves, Why We Are Where We Are" is a provocative tale of power, choices, and the hidden truths of our society.

It all begins at a lively bar, where Jeff and his college friends celebrate the end of the fall term. Amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, José drops a bombshell: "Society operates by two mandates… Might Makes Right, and the Many Serve the Few." This unsettling declaration sends Jeff into a whirlwind of questions and doubts.

"Are we not a country governed by laws, offering equal opportunity for all?" Jeff challenges.

José's response is chillingly certain, "Throughout all of human history, the masses have served the few. The peasants have always served the powerful – those bold enough to seize power. Times haven’t changed. Human nature hasn’t changed. That we acquire debt and shackle ourselves in servitude is not by happenstance. The system always evolves to ensure the many serve the few. We just happen to be the many."

Disturbed and searching for answers, Jeff turns to his wise grandfather, Papa, during winter break. Over an intense cribbage match, Papa unfolds a mesmerizing tale of creation: SHEEP, HERDERS, WOLVES. This ancient narrative sheds light on why we are where we are and who truly holds the reins of power.

Embark on an enthralling journey with Jeff as he navigates the intricate dynamics of power and servitude. "Sheep Herders Wolves" is not just a story – it’s an eye-opening exploration that challenges our perceptions and inspires us to rethink the world we live in.

Prepare to be provoked, scared, and ultimately inspired by this masterful modern fable. Are you ready to discover the truth?
