@@chuckberry7749 Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time- Winston Churchill So yes, it is.
The people are retarded because that is the only way a authoritarian patriarchy can thrive. If they let the people get educated then the whole system breaks down.
Ancient Greek argument against democracy: "If a ship carrying passengers at sea is being overtaken by a storm, who should choose what they do? The captain with 20 years of experience, or should the passengers and crew all take a vote?"
yeah, but on the other hand, the 98%(highly optimistic) of the captains are corrupt scum who got into that position by nepotism, deceit, manipulations and all other sorts of self-serving practices... And the only thing they seek is self-serving benefits at the expense of anyone and everyone they are in command of... So you have a double whammy there, a conundrum of the highest order, where both choices are wrong and both result in a quagmire of incompetency and retarded progress of a society, or worse yet, regression in culture, education, economy or whatever field or fields combined as a result...
1. Nobody born as captain. The investors/merchants who own the ship hired a captain based on his experience and track record as sailor and/or navigator. Would you appoint an unproven teenage deckhand as the captain of your ship (which cost a fortune to build) just because his father was the previous captain? I guess not. 2. The customers/passengers also voted with their wallet. If this particular captain is known to be prone to panic or often make mistake under pressure, they will not travel on his ship. Democracy does *NOT* mean we must vote for every decision. It is obviously impractical to call for vote on every single issue. We discuss and vote for the general policies/direction and who should lead us there.
@@ihl0700677525 What you are describing is called a representative democracy. In a full on democracy people would indeed vote on everything: For example the daily morning votes on whether to open the market back in Athens would have been an example of a direct democracy, and specifically was the one I was referencing. Here in America we like to say we have a democracy, but in actuality we have a constitutional federal republic.

@@dakawans83 "Republic", stemming from "Rex Publicum" or "Res Publica", which means "governace of public affairs by the people", literally "King People", is the latin term used to describe democracy. Both terms are rooted in the greek word "politeia" which can be translated as "society of individuals" , "regime" or "polity". The term "Republic", akin to "democracy" describes the regime where a body of members of a society govern the rest for the common good, as per Aristotle. They are the same thing.
@@johntsiroyiannis1072 Not quite. a democracy rules by majority, a republic does not. In a democracy the power is vested in within the whole population while in a republic it's vested within the individuals. Republics tend to protect the minority while democracies have the possibility to give the minority a living hell.
It's more that people often don't have the free will to be exercised, not that they aren't qualified, correlation versus causality. As a species, we're turning into ants. We are retarding ourselves through our reliance on society to survive.

I quoted this guy to my Philosophy teacher when she asked for a definition of Democracy. I thought I would be whipped or something. Instead she absolutely loved it and even asked me to repeat it so she could write it down for herself. Apparently this is actually a very serious Philosophical Position.
At least it was since Plato. But ofc the problem is a 'just' democracy dosent exist. Every democarcy in history is (and I dare to say, will be) not just the question if 'many' (democracy), 'some' (oligarchy) or 'one' (monarchy) rule. The question about that basic systems is rather obsolete, as every political system is way more complex and its instutions, its particualr working, its particular definitons and rules (what is a citizen, how works election etc.) conduct way more the fate of its socity, than just the basic philoosphical quetsion about the aristotle Triangle.
It is a serious philosophical position. The ancient Greeks and Romans hated democracy. The Founding Fathers of America also hated democracy. That's why the Founding Fathers made it so that only landowners could vote, which meant that 94% of men could NOT vote. But that changed in 1856 when all men were given the power to vote, and everything has gone downhill since then.
@@SchemingGoldbergI don't think that "land owners" is a good filter for who's got the best interest of the population at heart but i do agree that a pure, fully open democracy is insane and dangerous.
A Monarchy is like a merchantman that sails well, but if it strikes on a rock it will sink right to the bottom A Republic is like a barge, it is hard to sink, but your feet are always wet
eh, the former monarchies of Europe and in much of Asia took a millennia or more to collapse, there's not a single democratic institution that currently exists that's older then 300 years old.
Complete nonsense. Absolutely baseless statement. Monarchies went theough periods of immerse turbulence and came out strong, for centuries, millenia even. While in democracies we have yet another fake crisis every 10-15 years because the elites feel no need to invest into the long term of thw country, since it isn't their domain, unlike a monarch who feels compelled to look into the future just as much as a businessman is worried about the future of his business.
In current year, the republic is more like a canoe - where somehow it never fucking sinks but it's constantly getting flipped upside down and everyone is always just about to drown.
They're people, if not worse. Pretty sure the royal families of Europe have undiagnosed genetic mental instabilities that they do not want detected or studied. Meritocracy would be cool, though
@@Visiopod Absolutely true. Education should be a priority. Having said that, unfortunately there are not many nations that put that as a priority. So in nations where a big chunk of the population isn't "properly" educated... well maybe democracy is not the best option.
@@tompc17 Even with education, people hold a bias depending on the people they are surrounded with or how they grew up. It would be better, but not perfect in the slightest
@@SentinelAerospaceOfficial Who said anything about perfection? No system will ever be perfect my friend. It's beyond pointless to even mention the word. Furthermore, educated people would ideally know what a bias is and how to account for it. No system will ever be able to deny human error, as long as humans are expected to rule. The point is, if people want to vote they should at the very least know what they are voting and what they are not voting.

Another great quote I heard is: Best thing about democracy is that everyone has a say. Worst thing about democracy is that everyone has a say. Its true because while its fair, also the people with radical or harmful opinions can have a say in how people are governed.
The most prosperous countries, the most free and tbh, also fair countries are democracies. The monarchies and dictatorships kinda followed suit by replicating things that democracies did, but without democracy proving that certain freedoms are fine and are just an expression of liberty instead of "too much freedom that will rot society and make a lazy workforce" Well, also, in the past only the most hyper invested people would care about politics, most people live between home and work and don't have time to worry about that. Now those people who have no time to really engage in depth with anything are being blasted by interest groups to vote in their favour... which is fine, everyone no matter how much info you have has a right to vote. Just stop people from saying wild stuff about parties.. Can we have a ban on using advertisement to do anything but advertise your own political goals, instead of saying what the other parties do that has to be stopped...? Can that be an exclusive right of the journalists who have some liberties and duties to tell news as reportage?
@@ayoCC Its also worth mentioning, there also was a time where most prosperous countries were theocracy, oligarchy or even monarchy. Saying that every country who is propserious is democracy is not a good way to look at things. We are simply living at the era of democracy, where major powers dictates the "right way" to rule. That doesnt make it the optimal way of ruling since any country that isnt a democracy will be crumbled to ashes by major sanctions all across the world.
@@strider8662 I disagree to an extent. The real reason Democracy is spreading is because more countries are gaining the key component for a democracy to be functional, that being easy access to education and information. A democracy easily becomes the most effective system with that component, but without it, it is easily the worst.
@@Dovahkiin914 And don't forget, those "prosperous countries" under theocracy, oligarchy or monarchy had slaves, shitty human rights/rule of law and rampant abuses of power by the elite. So I fully agree that democracy is indeed the best we have.

And obviously intellectually disabled is neither of those things. I have friends that have had to consciously work that word out of their vocabulary because their instinct whenever something was annoying or stupid to them would be to use that word. It's like how the word 'gay' used to be used unilaterally as an insult back in the day. Something bad happens to you, "that's gay" "that's retarded", that's how it used to be.

Reminds me of that one scene in the Men in Black movie. The other thing here is that in ideal world, this should push the candidates to be the best for the position so that they get voted, but the reality is that it only pushes the candidate to only build the best image while leaving everything else as lower priority
This is basically an argument againt any form of gouvernment. Because monarchs are in the end also part of "the people", and thus often retarded too. Democracy so far is one of the in general better systems, because it filters out some idiocy. AT least so long as people go to fucking vote and don´t just the the worst idiots be the majority. Because you never get trouble to get those to vote with some dumb infamatory line. And thats the trouble we have nowadays. The more resonable people just don´t go to vote, so the worst get more say.
He’s not wrong. Democracy only works in the best interest of the group when the people are informed and groomed to be responsible engaged citizens. The issue is is that the tendency is always down. It takes an incredible amount of effort to maintain that.
i feel like the main problem is that being informed and responsible is not something youre typically taught, in school and otherwise.

@@KiaStout Well, in regards to the republic the US has, it was, for over a 100 years, being heavily reinforced by the people by always posing a threat to the government who was representing them. However, fast forward to today, and very few people believe that is a civic duty worth upholding anymore, and arguably half the nation doesn't even think the 'people' should hold physical power against the government. If we look at what government stood the test of time, the US has easily won that for now. Nothing has even come close at all. And the reasons for the current situation are very clear and logical. Corruption in government is a given, but the corruption of the people as a whole was slow going. In hindsight, modern luxuries and conveniences have led so many to value leisure over responsibilities, and the politicians being voted in are primarily there because people are choosing to be lazy and have no moral ground to stand on themselves.
but people not being happy isnt the problem? the problem is that the people dont know what they want, and since every political system has its own unique pros and cons, the people will never appreciate the pros of a system that theyve lived their whole lives with , and theyll focus on the cons, and theyll opt for an alternative system that fixes its cons but no longer has the pros and or creates new cons, and only then theyll realise they took it for granted. its not plausible for education to be at a level where its assumable for the vast majority to be critical thinkers that understand the importance of information and wisdom, thus ignorance and close-mindedness will always be a problem, and the people will never be happy. the alleged 'happiness' in democracy is simply because the flaws of democracy are less obvious and democracy also makes people more stupid, its in no way a 'better' system than the rest. even people like churchill acknowledged how awful democracy was, he personally phrased it as not being the best, but the least horrible among others that have been attempted. for different people, the subjectivity of 'least horrible' differs, so there is no definite reasoning for why one system should be favoured over the rest

And it probably set us backwards because it likely made people hesitant to take it for its actual intended uses, and I don't think it was even effective at getting people to stop self medicating it for covid. And before you instantly jump to the conclusion that just because I've identified obvious propaganda as propaganda, no I'm not saying it was effective to treat covid or that the people who were self medicating weren't morons. I am simply saying that consuming ivermectin isn't dumb just because its also horse dewormer, if you use it with a prescription for its intended purpose its probably a good idea to take it.
It is definitely one of the more "safe" ones out there (debatable how much it is, since it's main weaknesses would allow the bad outcome of it tumbling down to then be classified as a different form of government, usually dictatorships, at it's absolute worst, democracies would be seem a lot less positively if it was held up with the consequences all the way through), but there are quite a few other types of governments that when they have worked, and set up with strong systems in place against bad outcomes to come, have succeeded in causing surges of progress and stability incomparable with what democracy can succeed in doing
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for lunch. The only way to have a long-term, viable society is to institute rules to protect people from the passions of the moment. I wouldn't say 'retarded', though I wouldn't disagree; let's just say that most people don't think about issues. They react emotionally and don't consider the consequences.

Ancient Greek argument against democracy: "If a ship carrying passengers at sea is being overtaken by a storm, who should choose what they do? The captain with 20 years of experience, or should the passengers and crew all take a vote?"
yeah, but on the other hand, the 98%(highly optimistic) of the captains are corrupt scum who got into that position by nepotism, deceit, manipulations and all other sorts of self-serving practices... And the only thing they seek is self-serving benefits at the expense of anyone and everyone they are in command of... So you have a double whammy there, a conundrum of the highest order, where both choices are wrong and both result in a quagmire of incompetency and retarded progress of a society, or worse yet, regression in culture, education, economy or whatever field or fields combined as a result...
1. Nobody born as captain. The investors/merchants who own the ship hired a captain based on his experience and track record as sailor and/or navigator.
Would you appoint an unproven teenage deckhand as the captain of your ship (which cost a fortune to build) just because his father was the previous captain? I guess not.
2. The customers/passengers also voted with their wallet. If this particular captain is known to be prone to panic or often make mistake under pressure, they will not travel on his ship.
Democracy does *NOT* mean we must vote for every decision. It is obviously impractical to call for vote on every single issue.
We discuss and vote for the general policies/direction and who should lead us there.

@@dakawans83 "Republic", stemming from "Rex Publicum" or "Res Publica", which means "governace of public affairs by the people", literally "King People", is the latin term used to describe democracy. Both terms are rooted in the greek word "politeia" which can be translated as "society of individuals" , "regime" or "polity". The term "Republic", akin to "democracy" describes the regime where a body of members of a society govern the rest for the common good, as per Aristotle.

It's more that people often don't have the free will to be exercised, not that they aren't qualified, correlation versus causality. As a species, we're turning into ants. We are retarding ourselves through our reliance on society to survive.

Decades have passed and this legend still remains undefeated
I quoted this guy to my Philosophy teacher when she asked for a definition of Democracy.
I thought I would be whipped or something. Instead she absolutely loved it and even asked me to repeat it so she could write it down for herself.
Apparently this is actually a very serious Philosophical Position.
At least it was since Plato. But ofc the problem is a 'just' democracy dosent exist. Every democarcy in history is (and I dare to say, will be) not just the question if 'many' (democracy), 'some' (oligarchy) or 'one' (monarchy) rule.
The question about that basic systems is rather obsolete, as every political system is way more complex and its instutions, its particualr working, its particular definitons and rules (what is a citizen, how works election etc.) conduct way more the fate of its socity, than just the basic philoosphical quetsion about the aristotle Triangle.
@@Tarnatos14 Yeah we gotta give technocracy a try sometime i think it could be dope 😄
It is a serious philosophical position. The ancient Greeks and Romans hated democracy. The Founding Fathers of America also hated democracy.
That's why the Founding Fathers made it so that only landowners could vote, which meant that 94% of men could NOT vote. But that changed in 1856 when all men were given the power to vote, and everything has gone downhill since then.

Complete nonsense. Absolutely baseless statement. Monarchies went theough periods of immerse turbulence and came out strong, for centuries, millenia even.
While in democracies we have yet another fake crisis every 10-15 years because the elites feel no need to invest into the long term of thw country, since it isn't their domain, unlike a monarch who feels compelled to look into the future just as much as a businessman is worried about the future of his business.
Also, if it sinks, you are not gonna get it back because the dragging power is too big, not in same civilization or same culture.

Best thing about democracy is that everyone has a say.
Worst thing about democracy is that everyone has a say.
Its true because while its fair, also the people with radical or harmful opinions can have a say in how people are governed.
The most prosperous countries, the most free and tbh, also fair countries are democracies.
The monarchies and dictatorships kinda followed suit by replicating things that democracies did, but without democracy proving that certain freedoms are fine and are just an expression of liberty instead of "too much freedom that will rot society and make a lazy workforce"
Well, also, in the past only the most hyper invested people would care about politics, most people live between home and work and don't have time to worry about that.
Now those people who have no time to really engage in depth with anything are being blasted by interest groups to vote in their favour... which is fine, everyone no matter how much info you have has a right to vote. Just stop people from saying wild stuff about parties.. Can we have a ban on using advertisement to do anything but advertise your own political goals, instead of saying what the other parties do that has to be stopped...?

@@ayoCC Its also worth mentioning, there also was a time where most prosperous countries were theocracy, oligarchy or even monarchy. Saying that every country who is propserious is democracy is not a good way to look at things.

Reminds me of that one scene in the Men in Black movie.
The other thing here is that in ideal world, this should push the candidates to be the best for the position so that they get voted, but the reality is that it only pushes the candidate to only build the best image while leaving everything else as lower priority
The problem with all forms of governance is that for every genius, there are plenty more dumb ones.
Even Monarchies aren't spared from this.
This is basically an argument againt any form of gouvernment. Because monarchs are in the end also part of "the people", and thus often retarded too. Democracy so far is one of the in general better systems, because it filters out some idiocy. AT least so long as people go to fucking vote and don´t just the the worst idiots be the majority. Because you never get trouble to get those to vote with some dumb infamatory line. And thats the trouble we have nowadays. The more resonable people just don´t go to vote, so the worst get more say.
Yup; true geniuses are rare in history, but true imbeciles are abundant
Your perspective is so brilliant 😂. It really is accurate.
He’s not wrong. Democracy only works in the best interest of the group when the people are informed and groomed to be responsible engaged citizens.
The issue is is that the tendency is always down. It takes an incredible amount of effort to maintain that.
i feel like the main problem is that being informed and responsible is not something youre typically taught, in school and otherwise. People are taught mainly to be non-thinking machine cogs so that all the people in power can stay there while pretending to act in your best interest "oh but we have democracy nevermind that we dont equip anyone with the proper tools to actually take advantage of this system!"
@@mikeesteves8427Its almost like it’s that way by design. It’s almost like “democracy” is just a smoke screen to provide legitimacy to a ruling class that ultimate convinces the worker and bourgeois to vote against their own interests…
@@MajorLeagueTenacityYou cant force one viewpoint on people for centuries to come. Change comes both ways not a single way. And btw most of the social democrat parties have nepostistic structures
also democrazy provide cover for the actual people that manipulate behind the scene. even if something wrong with the society, they can blame whoever president at the moment. after the riot is cooled down then they just keep doing it over and over again, as if the system is rigged from the beginning
absolute monarchy cant do it because they are the main ruler and the image of the country. if it was constitutional monarchy, the king also can shield behind the parliament but their right will be severely limited compared to the former
i think the best government out there is constitutional monarchy, and the king still have the right so they can limit the growth of capitalist and check balance them. the king can guarantee the citizen have enough rights and obligation also push back against the greedy capitalist

@@facthub9964 They tried to defame him because if too many people became like Osho by following and believing nothing, the world society would have collapsed. He was even poisoned by the Reagan administration while in prison. Quite sad.
The thing is this is true of any system. The difference is when one person or one group is in charge and the people aren't happy it's not like you can vote them out.
It is actually quite rare and states have been well kept over the years, hence why only in recent years they have really been "Looked down" on.
@@KiaStout Well, in regards to the republic the US has, it was, for over a 100 years, being heavily reinforced by the people by always posing a threat to the government who was representing them.
However, fast forward to today, and very few people believe that is a civic duty worth upholding anymore, and arguably half the nation doesn't even think the 'people' should hold physical power against the government.
If we look at what government stood the test of time, the US has easily won that for now. Nothing has even come close at all. And the reasons for the current situation are very clear and logical. Corruption in government is a given, but the corruption of the people as a whole was slow going. In hindsight, modern luxuries and conveniences have led so many to value leisure over responsibilities, and the politicians being voted in are primarily there because people are choosing to be lazy and have no moral ground to stand on themselves.
but people not being happy isnt the problem? the problem is that the people dont know what they want, and since every political system has its own unique pros and cons, the people will never appreciate the pros of a system that theyve lived their whole lives with , and theyll focus on the cons, and theyll opt for an alternative system that fixes its cons but no longer has the pros and or creates new cons, and only then theyll realise they took it for granted. its not plausible for education to be at a level where its assumable for the vast majority to be critical thinkers that understand the importance of information and wisdom, thus ignorance and close-mindedness will always be a problem, and the people will never be happy. the alleged 'happiness' in democracy is simply because the flaws of democracy are less obvious and democracy also makes people more stupid, its in no way a 'better' system than the rest. even people like churchill acknowledged how awful democracy was, he personally phrased it as not being the best, but the least horrible among others that have been attempted. for different people, the subjectivity of 'least horrible' differs, so there is no definite reasoning for why one system should be favoured over the rest
@@upisntdownsilly Go tell Russians against the war in Ukraine and it's effects on Russia that their unhappiness with it isn't a problem. Or Chinese who want reform they don't know what they want. I'd argue most people have some idea what they want even if they don't have an opinion on every issue regardless of how well informed their opinions may be. Sure the US and other democracies have issues and are far from perfect but I can say that in public without having to worry about going to jail and can do my bit with my vote which to varying degrees isn't true in other countries. You kind of did exactly the opposite of what you were talking about, pointed out the flaws of democracy (without getting too deep into the whole 'are we a democracy' question) but never mention the flaws of other systems. The low hanging fruit in this instance is to ask yourself and others "If you had to live in another country which would it be and why?" then see what forms of government are those other countries and while subjective how well the question is answered.
And what if that one group splits into many groups and plays a political pingpong and media make sure it all looks real what then 😂

Well monarchy is ran by a person for the people(not really) but sometimes (often the case) the person is retarded.
I can speak for my country and say that the only time we seriously developed was when we were a constitutional monarchy, everything after we became a republic has been just to maintain status quo with no real leaders caring for the country or the people.

This is why the great experiment in liberty is so impressive to me. No other government has ever given so much respect to its people. And, for a time, the people were worthy of the respect given. I believe we are coming to the end of that time. It truly died half a century ago. Now it’s a swift return to oligarchy aristocracy as it has been for all of human history.
It was always aristocracy, only around 250 years ago trader aristocracy started replacing warrior aristocracy...
Aristocracy originally meant “rule by the best”. If it could live up to its name it would be the greatest government

The school of life: Why socrates hated democracy
Going back to this after Asmon's Twitch or Terrorist was quite the recommendation by RUclips algorithm.
Osho: “It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, A watcher. And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.”
He pause when talking for the gap, for silence.

I'm thinking "this is untrue", but then remembered how people hoarded toilet paper, used horse de-wormer and can't even define what a woman is.
You do realize that many medications can treat very different conditions. Some examples include; Aspirin which treats pain and lowers risk of heart attacks and stroke, Minoxidil which treats high blood pressure but also treats male pattern baldness, and Sildenafil which treats erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Just to name a few. During covid there were legitimate studies on the horse dewormer as a potential treatment. Idk what ultimately became of that study but the idea of people trying it being stupid just makes you seem shortsighted. Like it’s not like they were trying to use actual pseudoscience like crystals and chiropractors to cure it.
And somehow that horse-dewormer is not really just horse-dewormer and is a safe drug for human-consumption. All of us can be stupid from time to time, my friend

The horse dewormer thing was propaganda. And it probably set us backwards because it likely made people hesitant to take it for its actual intended uses, and I don't think it was even effective at getting people to stop self medicating it for covid.
And before you instantly jump to the conclusion that just because I've identified obvious propaganda as propaganda, no I'm not saying it was effective to treat covid or that the people who were self medicating weren't morons. I am simply saying that consuming ivermectin isn't dumb just because its also horse dewormer, if you use it with a prescription for its intended purpose its probably a good idea to take it.

It is definitely one of the more "safe" ones out there (debatable how much it is, since it's main weaknesses would allow the bad outcome of it tumbling down to then be classified as a different form of government, usually dictatorships, at it's absolute worst, democracies would be seem a lot less positively if it was held up with the consequences all the way through), but there are quite a few other types of governments that when they have worked, and set up with strong systems in place against bad outcomes to come, have succeeded in causing surges of progress and stability incomparable with what democracy can succeed in doing

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for lunch. The only way to have a long-term, viable society is to institute rules to protect people from the passions of the moment.
