      "I’d rather said masters be competent, sane, and efficient" The whole point of being a slave is you don't get to assert these preferences.

      Not as much as I'd like, but a king would be a move in the wring direction. But there are dictatorships you can move to.

      Think more of a ceo. W/ voting powers allocated along lines of property ownership, economic power, and an emphasis on small scale political organization that allows for diverse models to compete. But I’m a rightist, and you are a leftist. There’s not really a point in continuing

      Dictators aren’t accountable to their consumers/citizens. I think it’s perfectly possible have a strong executive and excuse messy interest group politics while still maintaining the social contract.

      Governance is a service and like all services it should be subject to optimization via market competition. But we have fundamentally different conceptions of politics/reality and I highly doubt either of us will experience a conversion from a Twitter interaction.

      It'll becomeva game of pure power and the market will be destroyed. The CEO's will become warlords. The market is pretty artifical. Something like that would probably work better with worker cooperatives.

      Kind of like how socialist regimes devolve into despotism 🤔🤔🤔

      If warlordism wins out, then warlordism is optimal. But seeing how our techno-productive social base doesn’t graft well to despotism I doubt reality will shift into this scenario, as reality tends to select for the most stable scenario that advances techno-productive elements

      No, despotism can take control of any system.

      1/2 It *can* Anything *can* happen. It’s just unlikely. Your political existential myth (not denigrating by calling a myth, we all believe some kind of myth) requires you to believe that it always *does* in order to legitimize your views.

          2/2 It’s like people deplatforming rightists to “prevent genocide.” JBP surely won’t lead to genocide...but the leftist *has* to believe in that myth in order to justify their behavior or actions, because without that framework their actions are pointless and absurd.

          Everyone has a myth they believe. Everyone. The key is to find a myth that is the least distance away from material reality. This minimizes cognitive dissonance and allows you to cooly and analytically analyze reality removed from emotional motivators

          You have to analyze your models. And figure out if they really predict anything at all. Then you can test them and maybe make better ones.

          Replace models with governments and predict with govern and I maybe would’ve sent this tweet. I’m constantly optimizing my worldview. I’ve even had a socialist phase (strasserist however). I’m all about diversity of ideas, and filtering them out via conception and debate

          I don't really think it does. I'm not Hobbes. But there are always powerful, power hungry people, who try. Democracies have been able to survive because despotic systems don't work well.

          >Democracies have been able to survive because despotism doesn’t work well The period of time Rome was a republic < the period of time Rome was a defector dictatorship Just because democracies tend to be more stable *now* does not mean that is universally true.

          It thrived as a republic. But when it went empire, it wasn't long before it started to have some trouble.
