Democracy has a design flaw.

This is an excerpt from my latest YouTube video, you can watch it here 😊

Liberalism is a failed experiment.

great work

Democracy’s design flaw is allowing everyone to vote

Just give me the marshmallow

Which is why democracy works when countries have educated voters. Left-wing leaders tend to take advantage of uneducated voters who get swayed by easy wins misunderstanding their long-term impact, paving the way to totalitarianism or dictatorship... 😉

Democracy has no design flaw; it functions exactly as intended, as a disguised form of socialism.

Yes yes !! Please, people, stop worshipping ’democracy’; see the lectures and book by Hans Hermann Hoppe "Democracy - The God that Failed"; (plenty videos, talks, writings online and at the Mises Institute web pages and Hoppe’s ‘Property and Freedom Society’) - Democracy, inevitably, will, over time, enable the worst characters & personalities to rise to the top; those who desire power & control, those who can best make the greatest- but empty promises & best pretend to be virtuous... or are best at coercing others to vote for them ... plus, as Lina explains, having the incentive of needing to fit their gain into a few short-term-years of ruling instead of prioritizing long-term success for the nation - - “… A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves benefits from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.. “ - Alexander Fraser Tytler or Alexis de Tocqueville see Hans Hermann Hoppe's many talks and lectures on his book 'Democracy - the God that failed' ! free download :

Also, secret ballot democracy is the worst form of democracy. To each individual voter it grants the power of the state, but with ZERO personal accountability. This incentivizes a pure "tragedy of the commons" scenario. A cold war of all against all.

You should tell people about the book you got this from.

#Sortition, i.e #DemocracyByLot fosters long term thinking and decision making

The Left want to increase the number of Low IQ people who will vote stupidly for short term handouts, not seeing the long term consequences.

I think that’s a fair point.

The OG democratic high time preference: The Sicilian Expedition

Monarchy solves this.

Democracy requires a well educated and morally aligned electorate. Without those things collapse is inevitable.

the answer is constitutional monarchies

Beautifully said 👏

Which is why the US is NOT a democracy.

So, @LinaSeiche what would you propose to create a system that would bias towards a long-term good time preference?

Astonished by the quality of the content in this account. How am I only finding out about it now?

🙏

Yes

Democracy wasn't intended for an electorate that's: - poorly educated - absent wisdom, virtue & integrity; values common to Christians Educated & Christian Politicians aren't in politics for self-interests; they're serving their populace, hence planning beyond is desirable.

It's more like game theory. One may vote for delayed gratification, but if the instant gratification voters win, they get their gains and leave delayed gratification voters with the bill.

When you realize the best self-help book is an economics text book talking about time preference.

Well put, Lina.

Blah blah blah... Only so many hours in a day with physical energy to have it

Democracy is not the model, republic is. And liberty has all the self-correcting mechanisms needed to correct for any perceived (not actual) design flaws.

Rather Hoppeful

This is worth my follow; I'll see what comes of it.🤔

The entire Chicago parking meter selloff is 3rd world time preference done at a city scale:

yes mommy
