Anything that enables you to make your imagination a reality is power. Usually it's framed as power to get others to do what you want, but it doesn't only mean that.

That's why I continue to espouse natural rights. I seek power only over myself, not others, at least not coercively. Maintaining that narrative ensures that all men can live in such a world, protected from predators. There's a reason it's the most successful cultural idea every created, and that is that it is a protocol that, for those who follow it, enable them to go their own way when they need to and ban together when they must. One value: leave us alone. Very powerful on it's own.
