lots of great shit in history came from basically welfare
SPONSORSHIP BY NOBLES IS NOT WELFARE
IT IS GRANTS
GIVEN TO THOSE WHO DEMONSTRATE APTITUDE
OPPOSITE PRINCIPLE OF WELFARE
WHICH IS TO HAND PEOPLE MONEY FOR BEING HUMAN
most of ancient greece with all their philosophers were buff guys sitting around lifting weights and wondering about stuff
GRANTS = REWARD HIGH QUALITY; WELFARE = LOW QUALITY
hahahahaha
Classic Exilarch
ancient greece kicked ass and produced tons of geniuses because slaves did work while the white guys got buff and used their brains
THERE IS A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIVING GRANTS TO PHILOSOPHERS
AND PAYING PROLES TO PROLE
AND BECAUSE ALL THE GUYS WRITING WERE UPPER CASTE
MOST OF WHOM WERE WEALTHY ANYWAY
REMEMBER THAT SOCRATES ARGUED FOR MONEY AND PLATO WAS A UNIVERSITY TEACHER
SO THEY WERE EMPLOYED
DITTO ARISTOTLE
Sokrates was a bum though
NOTICE THE FIRST PAGES OF THE REPUBLIC
WHEN THEY ARE ARGUING OVER
What we reward and encourage, we will see more of. The free market does not always reward what's best
HIS FEE
THIS IS WHY WE NEED A CASTE SYSTEM
THE FREE MARKET REWARDS WHAT THE AUDIENCE WANTS
SO WE NEED A DISCERNING AUDIENCE
As long as it isn't purely hereditary, I'm fine with that
Different people will fulfill different functions in society
THAT IS WHAT A HEREDITARY SYSTEM DOES
I WOULD MAKE IT HEREDITARY ENTIRELY
PRESERVE TRAITS, NOT EXTINGUISH THEM
BUT EVEN IN THAT
Exceptional people are sometimes the children of unexceptional parents
I do not disagree with that, that is great
PEOPLE CAN GRADUALLY MOVE CASTE OVER GENERATIONS
@Deleted User 57835c2c supporting a world class genius is not welfare. That is not even remotely comparable.
Are you going to waste that just because of his parents?
@Hagel NOT AT RANDOM. CHECK THE GRANDPARENTS.
ALSO, SEE THE GRANT SYSTEM
