To be fair, I think that this triad is largely a function of the sort of society one lives in. It could be summarized as “submit to virtuous social orders, seek to dominate non-virtuous ones if you have the ability to discern between them”
I think it’s more along the lines of: people in the third stage have acquired and digested all the low-hanging and medium-hanging fruit that those in the second stage are struggling to acquire, that advancing further is now really hard. So they now seek sex and money/power partly because acquiring those will (in the long run) help them further advance in the areas that they have currently put on hold. And partly because of course it’s also nice to have them.
