The Dire Problem isn’t so dire or so much of a problem. They start getting hungry and cold they’ll find a job.
Moldbug only thinks it’s Dire because he’s imagining them trying to code or learn LISP.

I don’t think frankly people who over-fret about these things have much experience running things and making things happen. Or for instance – camping. You know..make your own fire? Take a job as a roadie or carny or something for a summer that involves labor and understand it can be done and needs to be.

This is why the 19th century American Aristo’s sent their sons out West.

If it’s your idea of a dire problem – you really aren’t qualified to rule. NOPE.

There’s all kinds of jobs out there folks.

Mind you it will also get less dire and less problem if the dire don’t have their important but not mentally demanding jobs taken away by immigration. OTAY?

But what about the Violence !?!? . Be Violent in response, dammit. Again – not qualified for Aristocracy.

Commercialization has some significant capability to promote itself.

Exit, fine. What about entry though? How can you set up the patchwork in way that doesn’t make the impossibility of entry a barrier to exit.

As these Men were Nihilists who sought power – which wisely they were shut out of – all their rationalizations were and are mere strategems to do HARM and PROFIT from gaining POWER.

WHO = Nihilists
WHOM = Humanity at large.

Any focus on systems when leading or managing Men will lead to more horrible errors and suffering. Systems are for pyschopaths and MBA’s, the difference between them being degree of commitment. You can’t program people, all this talk of feedback loops is error and nonsense.

Singapore happened because of men. One man stands out.

America happened because of Men. Many stand out in it’s 400 turbulent history. The Founders did good and built something just strong enough drawing from English and American History to endure the test of Time. The legacy Republic is still here. It wasn’t “doomed” more than any other creation of men.

The New Deal was absolutely men. Resolute Progressives with a True Leader on the side of the New Deal, flailing eunuchs deserting the ramparts of the Republic on the other.

The Progs will not fall because their “system” is flawed. If they fall it will be that the Defenders are weaker than the attackers. Whoever the attackers end up being.

The men, MEN MEN who replace the New Deal State will be a combination of the strongest and the luckiest.

it is a ratchet mechanism that successively distances the political realm from feedback sensitivity, due to its character as a closed loop (or state church) sensitive only to a public opinion it has itself manufactured

Sounds like a royal court full of eunuchs.
Oh wait you’re not the monarchist.

Still to the extent that a system ostensibly designed to avoid the eunuch-filled-royal-court problem, by having free press, opposition parties et al. who allow contrary opinions, it didn’t take much time to end up coming up with a convoluted mechanism to recreate the isolated court full of eunuchs who prevent opposition voices from reaching the court, and ostracize any part of the public who dares defy the court ideology.

Singapore also is very well run but it still qualifies pretty well as a closed loop insensitive to contrary voices, although it probably has better performance benchmarks that others.

But isn’t that the real difference really? Singapore probably has benchmarks which measure the economy productivity of the realm, while the US promotes people according to how good they are at upholding the state religion and how much money they can rally to progressive causes.
