Because all humans are flawed and try and push their own beliefs.
Do fathers generally abuse their power in their homes?
Don't fathers have a genetic interest in seeing their children succeed and their wife to love them?
Good ones do i believe yes
are you comparing being an owner or even co-owner of family resources and raising children to being in control of a full military and legislative body?
Evolution demands that they do.
The Father isn’t in control of an entire country, try having one father in a similar control situation as controlling an entire nation.
If they didn't pair-bonding wouldn't exist.
Same might be true for good kings or emperors though right?
no, there is no evolutionary basis for king-subject bonding. You're not even interacting with the vast majority of your subjects. It would be impossible to have a personal relationship with them
and with indirect relationships, the dynamic changes. Theres no way it cant
No, because a King doesn’t have a personal attachment to every single person in the empire so they would in turn not see the need all the time to necessarily care about them.
Let's go back to a Monarchy!
Is there an evolutionary basis for democratic republics?
who said anything about democratic republics? We're talking about how fatherhood is not a monarchy
Well it's not a democracy, the big steak is mine.
There is no evolutionary basis because no other species thinks like a human does, and doesn’t necessarily have the free will we have.
Beeman said there's no evolutionary basis for kings. Why should that matter?
you compared it to fatherhood
Ok but there also isnt any evolutionary basis for our current form of govt right? And that is what you guys prefer?
the biological impetus for familial bonds is not the same as the relationship between a king and their subjects
the biological basis only matters because you drew the comparison
Hitler and Gandhi were friends
@Goose thanks goose. I'll make sure to remember that
A father sees a need to care for the family because they are of a direct bloodline. This is the same for a den of lions or wolves, or a ant queen where only the alpha was allowed to breed.
the question was put to us as, in essence "why is a king not like a father?"
That is why a king is not like a father
you dont get to mix and match question and answer as you please :^)
Yes i do
Lol
ah, then you agree with me that you are wrong
I'm developing a platform for revolutionary reform. Violent revolution, coup-de-tat, infiltration of the parties... None of these things are in the cards. We need a new vision that doesn't involve simply burning it all to the ground
because I've selected your prior answer as the answer to my question
Good talk
You're right, we shouldn't burn it to the ground.
That's what nukes are for.
Can a leader never feel paternalistic over his subordinates?
A small club for instance?
An older male mentors and leads hus youngers
Or a tribe lead by a chief?
