> at scale

Therein lies the rub.

Above Dunbar's Number[1], we require vast bureaucratic scaffolding. The purest example is the military. Ranks; uniforms; courts martial. People at scale tend toward tyranny. Every. Single. Time.

Our purported globalist saviors are not our friends, and ideas like UBI end in tears.

Decentralize. Empower individuals. Minimize the number of people whose job it is to boss everyone else around. And then ensure those bosses are traded out at a regular frequency.

Aristocracy in its explicit and implicit forms is an idea that is really no longer needed, so let's break the habit.
