All things considered, which the idea is that those in power will look at, and then choose their inheritors by. But they can easily choose people based on favours and nepotism
So high school kids are driving themselves insane, spending 14+ hours a day learning how to juggle
which is why I have given up on society, started focusing more on the genes and the memes, and embraced pugnism
I am unconvinced of all systems intended to choose good rulers
I don't think there's a perfect system
I agree that the success of a socio-political system depends largely on the population employing it
@Hagel Another thing: I think a system and a people are coupled in many ways
Like, a good system will improve the people, and a good people will employ a good system
Yeah
Since we don't have wars or plagues anymore, it's important to keep R vs K breeding from going out of control with a system
But no system will be a people's salvation. Systems only emerge from good and strong rulers who can enforce and create them
how do you propose we go looking for strong rulers
That's why a good ruler may keep a paradise while he rules, but after he has died, the only lasting mark that he can leave is upon the people's nature itself (genetics and memetics), improving the chance for another good ruler to emerge in the future
We don't
everyone tries to fight for what he wants, that's how it works and that's how it will work
Fighting can be done economically or physically violently
or purely memetically
let me rephrase
As an individual, you find and follow a good leader, or you become one yourself
that sounds like a form of democracy
Democracy is a cease fire agreement
What I described is more similar to a form of anarchism
which is always what you have anyway, people just pretend like it isn't the case
It is like democracy I suppose, but the resource is might and intellect, not quantity of followers
Quality of followers starts mattering too, not only quantity
It is like democracy in that every system is an arena for conflict, including democracy
sounds like anarcho-capitalism
anarcho-capitalism, to me, seems like an express route to third-world status
Anarcho capitalism agrees on non physical conflict
It also claims that no ruler should enforce taxation
I would enforce quite a few things
