Democracy is impossible.
We really have only two choices:
Aristocracy or an inferior Oligarchy which calls itself ‘Democracy’.
It is impossible to organise humans to any significant scale without hierachies, the only question which remains is, “who sits atop the hierarchy?”
There are only two answers, the first honourable, the second dishonourable. We are either ruled those whom rule the masses by force (Aristocracy) or those whom fool the masses into surrendering rule (Oligarchy).
Or, I should say, (((Oligarchy))).

Sorry, but the queen is the head of my family, my tribe, my nation, and I do not distinguish between the royal family and my kin. Nor for that matter, any of the nobility and my kin. Not because this makes me somehow better, but because I desire to protect my betters, who, in exchange, I desire to protect our kin.

Actually, the concept I am working on is whether we have everything backwards, and language consists entirely of measurements of different degrees of precision, and mathematics and operations are merely more precise measurements than we are familiar with speaking of.
This appears to be the correct model.

(Been trying and I just can’t make good videos without an interviewer, and I can’t make class videos without an audience to interact with. I might as well just write. Either that or I have to move to where I can regularly obtain an audience, and make the recordings from the class. )

–“Are you free to talk?”–
It’s my job to some degree. But I am never ‘free’ for conversation. I take appointments for interviews and conversations if the interviewer prepares a list of specific questions for me that are not already answered in one of my videos. I have learned that I cannot interview with or converse with common people who lack a basic understanding of my work, and have specific questions, because it is impossible for me to distill it into something that can be digested by an audience without an hour just to obtain the context.
