I am saying it started out a representative republic; it is now
socialism becoming a communist tyranny, so it is different. BTW,
communism MUST be tyranny, as only through tyranny can
confiscation (for redistribution) be empowered. You are saying
that it became what it is through its inherent process of
amendment, which is not untrue, but beside the point, and only
makes my other point, that no system can be devised for optimal
governance of an overcrowded techno-civilization.
I would not want to be born into a time where one had to be a land-owning male
to vote.
I suppose that was the only way they could think of to keep the have-not voters
from picking the pockets of the productive, and to ensure that only people with
a real investment in the future of the country could determine who made policy.
By comparison, letting the social dependents vote for whoever promises to give
them the most in handouts is just nuts.And allowing women to vote just ensures
that the government is turned into a nanny-state.
Surely in the US reproduction rates are lower
But, alas, the most intelligent and provident have the fewest children and
subsidize the reproduction of the low IQ, improvident, and dependent.
we are losing the winnowing effects of all the childhood diseases
That is among the least important of dysgenic influences, but I am surprised
that you even recognize it as problematic that we are supporting the
reproduction of people who could not survive in a state of nature. Actually, I
am ambivalent about allowing our genome to be sculpted by disease, and would be
pleased to see a lot of diseases eradicated.
that is natural selection operating on the current genome in the current
environment
True, but what I understand, and you wont accept, is that this niche
environment is evanescent, and when it collapses, remnant humans will need
those old, natural adaptations. The funny thing about it is that neither of us
cares: you because you wont believe that collapse is inevitable, and myself
because I think a die-off inevitable and re-establishment of natural selection
to be a good thing.
It is unlikely that I will answer any further comments you make on the subjects
covered in this post.
