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
My argument is simply this
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
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
YOU CAN REWARD THEM FOR SPECIFIC ACTS
And sometimes, great parents get unlucky and have a shit kid
AND EMPLOY THEM AS STEWARDS
do not be fixated on the acts
reward the character
Just not as often
THERE ARE WAYS OF DEALING WITH SHIT KIDS
Do you want that shit kid to have the power to rule?
AGAIN: 20%
Or do you want to move him to a new caste?
