So if I'm understanding you, what is important is hierarchy and its arrangement according to intelligence?

2017-03-10 16:49:23 UTC  

The important thing to understand today is that we cannot possibly achieve something like that

2017-03-10 16:49:37 UTC  

Since there are no essential values today from which to begin, no reference points

2017-03-10 16:50:24 UTC  

feudalism of Europe came about well after a market system with different values than those needed for feudalism to work

2017-03-10 16:50:46 UTC  

We can theoretically only imagine some sort of a new fall of current civilization to imagine a new sort of order arising in it's place, but such scenarios are largely today thought to be apocalyptic

2017-03-10 16:51:24 UTC  

I'm sorry I didn't realize you weren't talking to me

2017-03-10 16:52:01 UTC  

nevermind then

2017-03-10 16:53:05 UTC  

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ NRx is at the same time right and wrong. Their diagnosis is good, their suggested cure won't work

2017-03-10 16:53:43 UTC  

People cannot establish an order today that isn't based on the values that are *real* today

2017-03-10 16:54:14 UTC  

*Realistically* economic performance is what matters today. If for example we switched current system for some sort of let's say, statism, like Fascism for example

2017-03-10 16:54:28 UTC  

The greatest value would be loyalty to the state

2017-03-10 16:54:42 UTC  

Which is again, certainly better value than economic performance

2017-03-10 16:55:02 UTC  

But that value would condition everything else

2017-03-10 16:55:20 UTC  

why is it better

2017-03-10 16:55:23 UTC  

Let's say you wanted to create some sort of a 5 year plan, or some project to allocate resource

2017-03-10 16:55:37 UTC  

You would allocate them according to personal loyalty to the state, not merit

2017-03-10 16:55:38 UTC  

Or I guess why is loyalty to the state the most important thing

2017-03-10 16:56:01 UTC  

No, i dont think one-party state is the perfect solution, far from it

2017-03-10 16:56:09 UTC  

it's just better than plutocracy

2017-03-10 16:56:26 UTC  

whatever the state is

2017-03-10 16:56:35 UTC  

why is loyalty to it the most important thing

2017-03-10 16:56:35 UTC  

Of course, If we are not speaking of a dictatorship of the proletariat which is a whole different story

2017-03-10 16:57:19 UTC  

It allows for a dose of transcedence from a personal viewpoint

2017-03-10 16:57:35 UTC  

Which again dillutes individualism and to it immanent deviations

2017-03-10 16:57:59 UTC  

"It allows for a dose of transcedence from a personal viewpoint"

What does this mean to you

2017-03-10 16:58:14 UTC  

it could mean a few things

2017-03-10 16:58:30 UTC  

And it makes possible to create a new outlook which won't cater only to needs of trade and commercial growth, since power is established not in economical centers, but in centers of military, social authority

2017-03-10 16:59:27 UTC  

"What does this mean to you
it could mean a few things" Individual is more soberly aware that he isn't the most important thing, simply put

2017-03-10 17:00:35 UTC  

So the most important thing isn't the individual, it's the state?

2017-03-10 17:01:46 UTC  

Look

2017-03-10 17:01:51 UTC  

I don't think you understand

2017-03-10 17:01:59 UTC  

The state itself doesn't really matter

2017-03-10 17:02:04 UTC  

People can live without a state

2017-03-10 17:02:08 UTC  

In complete state of Anarchy

2017-03-10 17:02:21 UTC  

That's why I'm asking you pointed questions

2017-03-10 17:02:23 UTC  

but in such a state, "natural order" affirmst itself more easily and directly

2017-03-10 17:02:33 UTC  

Without asserting anything

2017-03-10 17:02:57 UTC  

However, since through many generations, a civilization accumulates a vast social, material and intellectual capital

2017-03-10 17:03:08 UTC  

It starts to produce a certain falsified image of itself

2017-03-10 17:03:43 UTC  

And many philosophers of the past contemplated on the question, how to lubricate the engine, how to prevent deviations which were to them apparent

2017-03-10 17:04:35 UTC  

Currently, we have Western civilization which believes that it's material prosperity is the most important thing
