And for those who don't care to dive into it, the concept of Hegemony is similar to Game Theory, but without the Math. It is the realization that culturally, politically, economically, and religiously; the table is set before you arrive. You are free to the extent that you may choose which dish to eat first, which to come back for seconds, which to abstain, and even which to combine in novel ways like the cranberry Turkey biscuit sandwich; but it takes a very special person like Nietzche's Ubermench to go beyond the constraints presented, into the realm of pure potential, and extract a novel original or enlightened set of actions which transcend the set of expected behaviors and open a new realm of grace and glory which we thereafter emulate.
If you're familiar with Star Trek, Hegemony is the Kobayashi Maru.
