      What our world suffers from more than anything is an error of abstraction. It is abstraction into nothingness that defines democracy.

      @allgebrah I think D&G do a great analysis of errors of abstraction when they talk of statements both too abstract and not abstract enough.

      @DIA_operative Ahh. Well I don't see how abstraction errors are limited to democracy, plenty of mismanagement by monarchies.

      @DIA_operative Failed megaprojects are great examples of the kind of abstraction error a monarchy likes to commit.

      @allgebrah Democracy is like a monarchy except with a hated and impotent monarch who gets replaced with another.

      @DIA_operative sorry to rehash an old argument from elsewhere, but being voted out of office surely beats a war of succession?

      @DIA_operative I do see monarchies being better at long-term coherence, as long as the same monarch lives.

      The choice of successor should of course be up to the monarch. It need not be primogeniture. @allgebrah

      @DIA_operative But let's say I choose from my courtiers. The selection pressure at my court will be brutal and select for the wrong things.

      @DIA_operative All that before I can even make a choice, and it has to be well informed by... well probably my intelligence service.

          I think the choice would come down to a small group of nobles directly in the kings service. No mediation required. @allgebrah

          @DIA_operative Choosing from your nobles ends in heredity (eventually one will appoint their own bloodline).

          @DIA_operative which will have a head who has his own ideas about who should be in charge.

          @DIA_operative (I've run my own monarchy, albeit small and with low stakes. It was very educational)

          But, you do raise a good point, and perhaps a fixed hereditary line could prevent those issues, though it creates its own. @allgebrah
