Nearer to sanity than most. That says more about the culture than me. #BTFSTTG http://discord.gg/vsJb9K6

      There's a rational case that absolute monarchy would be better for free speech than our current democracy, because it seems a lot of "you can't say that!" is driven by fear of certain ideas becoming dominant in electoral coalitions.

      The empirical case, meanwhile, suggests otherwise, with historical monarchs being complete bitches about this stuff. I guess the "That's insulting to God and the prestige of his representative, the King" takes over.

      Unless... You can find a way to deliberately end up with a lineage of leaders who are resilient to personal insults and are libertarian minded...

      ...but then this would require some kind of group that would organize and select (perhaps even create through genetic manipulation or even algorithms!) the perfect leader, and then you've let coalitional politics back in. Fuck.

      Perhaps some kind of selective franchise would work as a middleground, but even here, the question of "whose franchise" is prominent, and even a change like that would require a bloody revolutionary civil war to achieve.

      Have you considered a system based on a game? It can be modeled with AI to predict the outcome and game rules tweeked

          But can we construct the game to reliably produce leaders with a light touch when it comes to speech and expression?
