Monarchy sucks. Absolute power is dangerous, and there's no way for a monarchy to have the people behind it now that nobody believes in divine right

His moral character will be tried by his ability to recruit a team of the best and most competent men to risk their lives in the trial by combat

absolute power doesn't exist. Even the absolute monarch had his head chopped off by peasants. Its more honest than what we have now

Morality arises out of teamwork being stronger than solo strength

See peasents and head chopping

Revolutions almost never succeed, and when they do they're revolutions of the bourgeoisie not the peasantry

I would prefer a system that is not so unstable and inflexible as to make violent revolution the primary means of change

Once the aristocracy lost the ear of the monarch, it was only a matter of time before the monarchy lost his head.

Thats a funny thing to say as we watch the Trump presidency be strangled by the Deep State

The shift away from a feudal agricultural economy combined with the Enlightenment made the old order unsustainable.

I would prefer not to go into LARP territory regarding what it might take to salvage America, but I will say that there is a fundamental difference between having a revolution every few centuries as a last resort vs having it be the only means of achieving change. America went almost 200 years before the deep state was a thing

It's not LARPing so much as critique of democracy in the abstract. The upside of autocracy is the ability to affect change quickly. Democracy is meant to make change much harder. The Lows are higher but the highs are lower, as it were.

I don't support democracy per se. I want a constitutional republic with limited suffrage based on knowledge of history, civics, current events, etc. There would have to be guaranteed free speech online and a breakup of the Jewish oligopoly on media as well.

Any democratic form of government can only function properly in a homogeneous and patriotic country, I would add.

Ritualized complex combat maybe even in game form would be a good option for ruler selection

Rulers should command respect and loyalty of strong men

But lest we be ruled by Chads the combat should require analytical ability

You can do a lot worse than the quarterback president

But we could probably do better too with a better game

So Jiu Jitsu?

Jocko Wilink would rule the world

One key is that the teams can't be recruited for him . He needs to create his team from scratch

Prove his power to lead

Jocko would be a good dictator.

The King of Jordan basically is Jocko

@TMatthews and is highly suseptable to corruption.

This will all be obsolete when we can genetically engineer replicate and improve the perfect leader, coupled with mind writing technology to create an immortal prime conciousness

Haha

Immortal mind tempts the utopian principle.

Techno-medievalist Divinely Genetic predeterminist right to rule

None of this will matter when we are all stuffed into pleasure pods to live in our own personal matrix

Maybe we already are

No lie is detected

And these fevered dreams are the beginning of our birth from the pod mind into our original bodies

I'm definitely not in a pleasure pod yet...

Personal pleasure pods will exist before the robots take over.

If i was, I'd be in Iceland rn, NOT Maryland. <:sad:366743316475281408>

Embrace the age of the machine, they operate by pattern recognition

Too bad the birds are fake and cannot help us fight the robots. But you will find the last camp of humans on the edge of the icewall.

Before the birth you must become inverted with your head in the eath and feet in the heavens. #hangingman
