THE CURSE OF WELL-MEANING FOOLS
Had to block a ‘whataboutist’ practicing ‘whataboutery’ yesterday who polluted every discussion by making excuses for everything imaginable. This person is male but effeminate in cognition, and ‘spiritual’ rather than empirical, and has the odd attraction to music, all of which are forms of self-gratification and emotional hyperconsumption.
We had it right by limiting political participation to demonstrated competency.
Our ‘solution’ is to increase the number of houses to separate those with demonstrated competency and demonstrated contribution to the commons by that competency, from those without having done so.
Yes, rule of law matters far more than democracy. Yes it’s not clear that democracy is a net good rather than a net bad. But it is abundantly clear that unearned democratic participation is absolutely positively a net bad. And unearned democratic participation in the absence of rule of law of natural law, is just a slower road to totalitarianism, and the collapse that follows.
The method of government is almost irrelevant. It’s rule of law by the natural law of self-determination, sovereignty and reciprocity that matters. Everything else ‘good’ is merely a privilege of having succeeded at it.
