The big problem with drugs like meth and heroin is the dopamine spike is far beyond anything that is naturally occurring. Once addicted it's going to be hell getting off these drugs. Do we let people do whatever they want if they aren't hurting another? It's a question for the ages. With the rise of screens more people are addicted than ever. This is where Leo's sitting in an empty room and doing nothing comes into play. It's a form of dopamine reset, to break the time wasting cycle of chasing short term dopamine hits. It will cause discomfort, because the brain craves the stimulation. http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/addiction/berman/neuro/dopamine.html https://www.utahvalleypsychology.com/pornography-addiction-science-fact-or-science-fiction-2/

The drive for gain is a motivating factor within the DNA of our species. You can't get rid of capitalism entirely and expect a system to work. Ask me this: Why should everything be free? Where in evolution or natural selection does such a system make sense or seem sustainable? Why do we let people with inferior genetics breed? If you feed undeveloped groups of people they tend to breed like rabbits as an example leaving you with a larger problem in a generation down the road. Infinite compassion has it's limits. People don't learn and grow as individuals by being coddled. They tend to appreciate things less that they are given vs what they work for. Discomfort is a basic requirement for incarnating on this planet. Period. That said, there's a global cost of living crisis from the top 5% being allowed to buy up all the assets combined with reckless monetary policy (quantitative easing, inflating of the M2 money supplies globally.) There should be a global ban on owning homes as "investments, to turn into rentals." R-1 zoned (or equivalent) real estate should not be allowed to be owned by corporations or rental agencies in any way, shape or form unless it's for the purpose of renovation and immediate resale. AirBNB should not be a thing when it comes to using single family housing as a source. If you are doing it, you are part of the reason for the cost of living crisis going on. I suggest nobody use AirBNB, and don't feed this system by staying in places that should be people's homes. In reference to the post above mine, religion and government are two sides of the same coin... attempts to control the masses. I recommend the BBC video series "Century of the Self." Anarchism isn't possible due to our nature. People will always form large groups and those large groups will always try to get others to join them and consolidate their power in time. There's no stopping it. It's probably less viable as a system than autocracy or authoritarian systems, which themselves tend to not work due to human nature. You'll never have isolated groups of people minding their own business... not with our genetic makeup. There's always strength in numbers.

Coffee is the largest source of antioxidants in most American's diets. It's healthy for most people who don't have acid reflux. I roast my own decaf coffee or buy freshly roasted decaf beans. It's the only way to make decaf taste good. I enjoy the taste and want the antioxidants but don't really need or want the caffeine. The nice thing about roasting decaf is there's no chaff, so easy cleanup. Just get a bit past first crack and I'm done. I prefer a light to medium roast with around 40 grams of coffee to around 650 grams of water, with a water temperature around boiling for a light roast, gradually decreasing in temperature to around 185 degrees F for a really dark roast. Most drip coffee makers are only suitable for dark roast coffee as that's the typical temperature they roast at. I brew with a large style V60 brewing device and a gooseneck kettle. My mother and grandmother are both case studies that coffee works. They both look way younger than their age and both drank a pot of coffee daily basically their entire adult lives.

I used to be like this. You just get caught up in the constant search for "facts" and "truths" until you realize much of it is BS and to just use common sense. There's only a few supplements that are genuinely beneficial, such as Magnesium, and if you care about looking good as you age, glycine, wearing sunblock, and applying tretinoin to your face. A lot of it also has to do with social media clicks, selling books, making money. Come up with a new fad diet, get a bunch of followers, and start to rake in the dough. This diet resembles the book "How Not to Die" but that book preaches getting all nutrients from the foods you eat, with virtually no supplements necessary. This guy has a pretty extreme diet with blood tests to verify his results... his diet is quite similar. Heavy plant based. His main meat source is Costco brand canned Sardines. Good man! LOL If you want something close to the "perfect diet" for longevity, here it is:

I do believe it does more good than harm. People rebelled against religion for the same reason they rebel against any authoritarian or rigid ideology: They don't want to be told what to do and how to live their lives. We are biologically wired to want to rebel against the establishment after enough time (and often for good reasons.) Still, religious values install a sense of discipline that is sorely lacking from modern culture where we chase heavy hedonism. Granted the highers up in religions are just like the higher ups anywhere... they often violate the rules they set for others because they can, but that's human nature. Most human beings are hypocrites from my observation... the values they say they have don't match their actions, which is to be expected given our evolutionary wiring produces strong drives and cravings that are hard to resist. All religion, all government, all civilizations, have been about taming that animal within us. Without discomfort we don't grow. If we just do whatever our impulses drive us to do, how our DNA evolved us to behave, we are basically animals. I also think many people's opinions on this forum are biased by the sources of information they access and use for their factual basis. They tend to be in their leftist echo chambers so they don't see how the average religious person really is... mostly tolerant, not racist, just normal people who happen to have been raised with a belief system and use the Church as more of a social gathering place than a place to promote some heavy handed cult filled with hate and judgment, which is certainly NOT what modern Christianity is in the west. When you try to access as many broad sources of information as possible you start to see the mainstream media is feeding the people narratives, which they are. Hollywood in particular loves to push the "evil racist right wing nationalist" narrative heavily. Doesn't matter what nation you live in, your ruling class are feeding you bullshit to at least some degree. That's what people with power do. It's human nature... aside from the fact human beings tend to crave drama and conflict as a source of excitement, so finding some "enemy" that needs to be slain to create the so called perfect society barks right up the alley of what drives human DNA, and the human ego.

Given the way the brain's dopamine system works, I'm half inclined to think we should do it like the Philippines... execute drug dealers on the spot, and throw users in prison. I used to believe in decriminalization, but I'm not really sure about that anymore. Lax enforcement of the laws is the reason more and more bad behavior is spreading in society. Tough choices need to be made, and we don't want to make them because we are no longer a society that simply disappears the homeless, mentally ill, drug users, etc. like we used too. Bottom line... there's no easy answer to this problem and any solution you or I might think would work is merely speculation. Natural law (evolution, natural selection) doesn't care about human compassion or coddling people. Nature is cruel. Evolution is cruel. It's survival of the fittest. It's something progressives will never really accept, acknowledge, or internalize, in their quest to be infinitely compassionate incarnating in a matrix where the rules baked into the system don't really support infinite compassion. If that Lion doesn't kill his Zebra, he starves, dies, his species goes extinct. Period.

Desertification is a larger problem than carbon emissions.... clear cutting forests to grow Palm, graze cattle, or simply develop the land. The greatest problem is the expanding modernization of South America, Africa, and nations like India, etc... they are going to start pumping out ever increasing amounts of carbon and clearcutting their forests as their populations continue to remain high and increase in many of these developing countries. Us already developed nations have peaked and are likely to stagnate like Japan (which is fine, there's no universal law that says an economy and population must keep perpetually growing FOREVER, that is not sustainable for the planet) It's true that you never know what to believe though. You almost have to visit every country and experience every situation for yourself to know what the real truth is, since every media outlet in every country is going to be biased by their respective ruling classes who want to control the narrative.

Human nature. People have principles that they talk about and then they have their actual behavior which tends to be whatever benefits them at any given time. Here in my red area supposed "free market capitalists" will line the city councils in small towns and prevent competition from entering the town that conflicts with their existing businesses. Most conservatives aren't fiscal conservatives anymore, they are modern monetary theorists, who want to pump up stonk and real estate bubbles because it pads their net worth and allows them to work less. Modern society is all about "making your money work for you" until too many people try this and it becomes unsustainable. The top end up becoming financial parasites in the end because they use their wealth to buy up everything, but that doesn't mean marxism or authoritarian dictatorships solve this problem... usually the top down corruption is far worse the less checks and balances you have. CCP/China is a great example of top down corruption. Basically, we are fighting human nature. The strong will subjugate the weak given no checks on their behavior. That is evolution. That is natural selection. It's not pretty, it just is... something you accept because you are here, in this reality, incarnating as this species, on this planet.

Just human nature. I like to poke at leftists at how their authoritarian tendencies manifested during the pandemic as another example. Each side thinks the other side are the devil but can't see the danger lurking on their own side. Politics is a horseshoe... the fringes tend to be authoritarians, anarchists, etc... so if you fall into that category, I would classify you as the "fringe." Collectivism doesn't, and will never, work, because of human nature. It will always be dependent on more free outside elements for it's survival. "Ignoring the misery of (fill in the blank)" is used as the justification for all sorts of tyranny throughout the history of our species. Misery and suffering are terrible, but the ends don't justify the means. Have I used the quote about the road to hell being paved with good intentions before? Looking back at covid it's easy to see how these sorts of nationalist movements form and oppression of unfavorable groups happens. It was a fascinating sociological look at our specie's nature. I disagree it will be talked about for centuries to come. History is written by the victors. That said, the whole prosecution of Trump is a joke... the pot calling the kettle black. That said, I don't really want him nominated or re-elected. That said, this is a political witch hunt by the people in charge, which happens all the time. Always has, always will. When I look at this planet and species now I see DNA computer programs acting themselves out. The level of free will we actually have is debatable. So many times people make choices that defy rationality and fall back on their animal instincts, or their fight or flight response, or any number of other "drives and cravings" our species has. It makes it easier to have compassion for all sides, rather than taking sides. I forgive them. Why hold anger inside when you know collectivism is driven by DNA computer programs within the individual host organism? Watching ant colonies on the AntsCanada channel it amazes me their collective intelligence. Evolution is fascinating. The DNA programming within different species is fascinating. Human programming seems complex, but it's not, and no amount of money and power makes you immune.

The two guys who lived in China for 10 years and saw it's slow transformation back towards Authoritarianism after Xi took power made a good point. In China they don't want to talk about all the societal problems they have. It's like they all know, but they don't say anything. With that type of mentality, nothing will ever change. The willingness to confront and discuss uncomfortable topics is paramount to a healthy society. It's when they started to talk about the issues of things like human trafficking and rampant government corruption that goes on in China that the government basically chased them out or disappeared them. That type of speech is different than bullying though. Bullying, cliquish behavior, and the like are hard to control but efforts need to be made to keep these things in check, because bullying an already insecure individual can really mess them up. Bullying is done by weak, insecure people to people they perceive to be weaker. If you look at it from a dominance or social hierarchy standpoint, humans are always trying to find their place. Perfectly normal people are fully capable of bullying, unfortunately.

There's no doubt about it. Any sufficiently large group of people that start to have groupthink, form echo chambers, and believe themselves to be right or superior to others could be classified as a cult. They become then dangerous if they try to oppress the rights of others because they believe their philosophy to be superior, so they seek to spread it and assimilate others. As for humans being hypocrites, almost all humans are. I catch myself being one, and I'm not one to let my own bullshit go unchecked. Partly though it's just people being addicted to drama. That seems to be wired into our species. Doesn't matter if it's ideas, events, or people, drama is still drama. Maybe you think you are fighting for what is right, and maybe you are, but it's important to pick your battles also. It's good for people to behavior check each other in moderation if necessary, but not get caught up in drama for the sake of drama. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=linus+tech+tips+drama The important thing to remember about "social media" is that they push sensationalist topics and drama to get clicks and subscribers, so I wouldn't get too worked up about any one content creator.. you always have to sift through the piles of fluff to get at the nuggets of truth. Sometimes it's hard to know what to believe at times, especially since youtube got rid of the "dislike" count on videos, but given human nature it's easy to make an educated guess. Any time you can stir up justified anger in response to some event, that's right up the ego's alley. That's why "Darius M" is more popular than "Corey Wayne" as an example I have used in the past. I'm more careful with what I consume lately... garbage inputs equal garbage outputs, and all that.

You already tested the blood sugar. Could just be the fiber. I like to eat my oats really watery, and don't really eat them very often regardless. Blood sugar was my first thought, LOL. As far as foods being "dead" foods well, every fruit and vegetable we eat is unrecognizable from forms we've had thousands of years ago due to selective breeding. I used to get really caught up in eating "natural" and alternative health but not so much. I just avoid excessive refined carbohydrates now, due to their addictive nature. I have to set habits or my addictions will take over.

Lentils need to be softened before they can be consumed anyways. Generally this requires either heat or sprouting. I eat canned Chili Beans and then add liquid splenda to them. Tastes like sweet chili, and the stuff is dirt cheap on sale. Black, Lima, and Kidney Beans to make Calico beans. I usually drink the liquid in the can at least with peas, not so much with beans... the nutrients are going to dissolve into that liquid after all. I don't care about eating beans with sauces in them. Spices add antioxidants. Antioxidants extend shelf life and are eaten by cultures with some of the longest lifespans. People tend to have food hangups that are irrational throughout society I've noticed. Too much ego programming. David Hawkins taught me to largely abandon all the programs and use common sense in his books "Healing and Recovery" and "Letting Go" .. I used to be into a lot of that alternative health stuff a decade back.

I mean, I respect Leo's opinion most of the time but he's mostly wrong in this case. Tap water when living in a modern house with copper, PEX, or PVC plumbing can be tested for safety, for things like chemicals and dissolved solids and there's no harm in drinking it. It might have levels of chlorine or choloramines in it from the process of treating it that you can filter with a cheap faucet water filter, but beyond that it's perfectly drinkable and safe. They do like to add fluoride to it for no good reason (along with using Bromine in foods), so every once in a while, take an iodine supplement... something weak like sea kelp, not super strong stuff like Iodoral. Iodine will displace the Bromine and Fluorine. Generally speaking western governments like the US and Europe have good safety standards when it comes to tap water in the modern era. When in doubt, order a water testing kit online. You can also install undersink reverse osmosis systems, but they do produce wastewater of a ratio of around 4 gallons to every 1 gallon of treated. They also remove minerals from the water that are naturally occurring.

The US constitution was designed to prevent this, but it's only as good as people's willingness to enforce it. Human nature (and looking back at history) shows that opportunists who support collectivist, authoritarian ideologies which are worse than "mass democracy" will try to gain power when they can, and this is why cultures tend to go through cycles of Plato and Aristotle. Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create bad times. The circle of causality is complete. You will never have peaceful, blissful representative democratic republics where power and wealth are distributed in a common sense matter forever. Something will always upset the apple cart. Typically it's the concentration of wealth like is happening in the west today where corporations and governments are buying up more and more farmland, residential real estate among other things, or the fact that people become victims of their own success and become soft, but in dictatorships like the Chinese CCP, it's just an unusually bad leader that gains power (Xi) who subscribes to theories (Mao) that don't work. It's not even Xi's fault though. He was a product of his childhood and the way his father and subsequently he was treated by the Chinese Communist Party of that era. Again the A leads to B leads to C causality factor at play.... new dictators like to clean house to keep things in check, and Xi's father was among one of the victims. Of course this thread is about monarchies, not dictatorships. The queen of England is more a celebrity figure at this point. Ruling because of family bloodline is just another form of authoritarian dictatorship if no checks and balances are in place but Britain's system is different compared to say North Korea. Should we have caste systems where one's social status is determined at birth? A human being should be able to advanced based on individual merit, individual qualifications, and individual achievement. This is healthy. Any system that pushes equity, collectivism, or social status based on bloodline, is by it's nature inferior. Systems like this can justify their oppression of whoever they want "for the greater good" of whatever dipshit is calling the shots. Like I said in the other thread, the road to hell is paved with 'good intentions'

It's what has been called the "slippery slope" argument, or the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Who's to decide what speech is allowed, and what guidelines do they set? In the long struggle between individualism and collectivism, between Plato and Aristotle, it seems like collectivism, authoritarianism, fails spectacularly every time it's tried. The real reason for freedom of speech is simple... to keep human nature in check. Checks and balances. No entity should have the right to control the narrative and potentially create a reality where what you perceive and believe is simply what the state tells you to believe, actual scientific or otherwise "facts" in the matter be damned. Modern examples include North Korea and the CCP under Xi's leadership. Prior examples include Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. It's all about how many restrictions we want imposed on our right to individual identity by the collective. Of course these same collectivists (whether they are "left" or "right" or whatever nonsense cult they choose to identify as) will use the more "free" societies to push their philosophy at the same time, so you always have to be on the watch for things like this. The people who preach freedom once they get power do the opposite, because human nature. Intellectuals traditionally through history like to push Plato and forms of collectivism, which fails due to human nature. It will never, ever work. Again, the road to hell is paved with "good intentions." The only thing that seems to work is keeping power and wealth from concentrating, and the system that can do that the best, while still promoting profit and innovation in moderation, will remain the global superpower and promote growth and progress in a more healthy, balanced way. Also, no matter how hard you try, you will never, EVER please everyone. You need a system that works for the majority. When you go trying to "save everyone" that's when those "good intentions" start to bite you in the ass, and you leave yourself open for authoritarian type rule. It's the paradox of governmental rule. Trying to fight for the minorities ends up subjugating the majority at the same time and provides the right elements for opportunists to gain power. I personally believe we saw a miniature version of this stage play during the covid pandemic. Fortunately life returned to relative normalcy, minus the damage to the supply chain, resulting shortages, and the subsequent severe rise in the cost of living from the money printing that went on.

It's better to not grill meat at high temperatures or excessively smoke meats, but I still do...applewood smoked burgers and steaks...I also grill beyond burgers when Costco has them on sale...I can go either way, but I counter my meat consumption with antioxidant consumption. Plus I don't particularly care when I die. If it's my time, it's my time. Most meat eaters around me eat lots of other junk food and low fiber diets. It's the diet as a whole you need to factor into consideration. The safest meats to eat would be things like Costco canned chicken...canned meat cooked through basically boiling is basically harmless. Also stews and slow cooker meat that is also basically boiled. Meat is in fact quite healthy in moderation. Most vegans end up with nutrient deficiencies if they don't supplement. Worst for you foods are processed high carb seed oil filled foods...pop tarts, chips, pizza, crackers, donuts, cookies, French fries, etc... I have lots of Costco canned sardines. Best source of EPA and DHA with least mercury content of any omega 3 fish. I never liked sardines until I realized it was because of the crap they were flavoring them with...only olive oil that's what I like. But yes, overcooking meat produces carcinogens. This can be mitigated somewhat by mixing antioxidants into the meat or applying rubs which contain antioxidants. Allowing fat to drip on to charcoal and produce smoke is among the worst offending but it's also the thing I love to do most :-). Nonetheless everything posted in the OPs original post is scientifically true.

Corey Wayne's stuff is pretty good. It's not flashy and doesn't throw shock value at you to get social media clicks...just practical advice. Media loves to sensationalize because humans are emotional creatures that crave drama, generally speaking. Tate is just another figure trying to get his piece of the pie. I also like Woujo's stuff. Takes a look at things from an evolutionary perspective. Ultimately we are animals evolved through the same process as every animal on this planet, subject to the same natural laws I would agree with those that say Tate is not good or bad....he just is....and being like him still gets you more worldly recognition than being a doormat. DNA doesn't care about compassion...it cares about whatever genetic traits are most fruitful in passing along DNA to future generations. Generally this is displays of strength, including killing, at least in the animal kingdom.

For me clean eating is simply avoiding excessive refined carbohydrates and seed oils... basically no cake, donuts, pop tarts, chips, crackers, hot pockets, pizza, etc... I eat lots of beans. Steaks. Eggs. Greek Yogurt. Salads. I do eat processed "healthy" foods such as Nick's Ice Cream, along with those inexpensive costco protein bars that have chicory root extract in them. One positive to come out of processing is being able to add prebiotics, fibers, and sugar alcohols into food to mitigate the blood sugar rise and excessive calorie/carb consumption.

Try to have the same sleep schedule set by yourself through creating healthy routines. I'm unfortunate to have a job where I have to rotate shifts every 2 weeks and it really does rob you of a lot of your potential to have to do this. Your nervous system will not be in a optimal state having your circadian rhythm messed up all the time from lack of sleeping at the same time every day. Find wasteful habits like screen usage and cut them out. Program yourself to do certain things only at certain times. You should aim for 6-8 hours of sleep per day. If you have a job that doesn't pay well, quit it. If you live in a high COL area, move. The chinese 9/9/6 thing ... I'm glad I wasn't raised and indoctrinated in that country. Some people can work all nights and that's okay if they go to sleep at the same time every day... but having random sleep times because you are too busy in front of a screen is a bad idea.

Leo's content doesn't translate that well into small clips in my opinion. It takes the subconscious mind longer to absorb material you don't want to hear, versus material that strokes your ego and pushes confirmation bias. It's the difference between a truly neutral news outlet like news nation and a left/right outlet that panders to their audience like most networks. Confirmation bias and echo chambers and sensationalism sell. Darius M's youtube content gets more views and comments that Corey Waynes, because he panders to his viewer's egos more. Leo generally doesn't, and it takes the subconscious longer to process information, especially hard truths about reality we don't want to hear or believe. It's easier to believe the lie, because the lie makes us feel comfortable.

Evolution and natural law tend to conflict with the beliefs of progressives (and conservatives of course.) Our subconscious desires especially the desires of women revolve around being attracted to powerful men based on evolutionary drives. Compassion and this umbrella society where we try to save everyone go contrary to the laws of nature which involve pain and hardship. Evolution is not compassionate, not in the slightest, if you actually study the plant and animal kingdom. Lots of trial and error and suffering come along with an animal species evolving. Use as an example the animals subject to the radiation around Chernobyl. Many of them had to suffer and die for the rest to evolve to become resistant to the radiation. Frogs in that area have become a darker tint because apparently melanin protects not only against UV radiation but the ionizing radiation found near the Chernobyl site. https://www.livescience.com/black-frogs-evolution-chernobyl You can't negotiate attraction. When it comes to sex drive, value systems tend to go right out the window in favor of what gives us tingles at any given time. The subconscious mind wants what it evolved to crave based on which genes got passed on over the last million years. This tends to be largely out of the control of the conscious mind. This is one area where I criticize progressives... despite their supposed belief in "the science," their science is very politicized and biased. To compensate they come up with these subjective belief systems to give this impression that reality is all about perception, but the truth is universe has very concrete laws by which it operates that are very much objective, much like any computer software... the code is written into the system. It's integrated into the hardware itself (matter and energy) and our DNA which is nothing more than sophisticated computer code. So now the fun comes in playing God and hijacking the laws of nature, or the very laws of the universe... to be able to manipulate and reprogram not only DNA but physics itself at some future point.... to hack the matrix and create it in our image. To figure out the software the runs the universe, the mathematical equations that govern everything, and manipulate them. Fun stuff. Way outside the boring left/right feces throwing match that goes on in politics and cult-like belief systems people hold. People's desire for control and to manipulate the narrative to peddle some philosophy is very primitive in my eyes. All that matters is raw truth. Society the world over has become so fake, where people simply believe the lie because it's more comfortable. The best examples are always authoritarian dictatorships (Chinese CCP as an example) or whenever any group of people gets too much power and has "good intentions" in which they believe the ends justify the means. These tendencies are simply evolutionary traits programmed into our genetic makeup as we are a herd species.

Another problem is modern monetary theory (quantitative easing) ... there are now talks of bailing out the commercial real estate industry, all these incessant bailouts and printing of money act to prop up the status quo, further concentrating the wealth up the economic ladder. What would be healthy is allowing highly leveraged entities to go bankrupt instead... allow some deflation, allow recessions, so we can cool off asset prices. "Too big to fail" corporations is silly. Bailing out banks beyond the FDIC $250,000 is silly. The rich basically are allowed to take risks and then if it doesn't pan out for them, they get a bailout. Horrible policy. The price of real estate is the highest inflation adjusted it's ever been because all this liquidity printed into thin air and spent ultimately ends up in the hands of the top 10%, and because there's so much liquidity in the system, they bid up the price of homes, start to invest in homes, and price the middle class out of the system. Realtors should be banned from investing in homes in the towns they live in. Corporations should be banned from investing in residential real estate. Individuals should be banned from owning large numbers of R-1 zoned residential real estate. Wealth concentration of what is occurring ultimately is going to cause the west to decay if not mitigated with checks and balances.

David Hawkins brings this up in his book "Healing and Recovery" that most illness is stress based and belief systems can cause a lot of health problems. A similar theory was brought up by John Sarno with his "Tension Myopic Syndrome" and later by Dr. Brady who dubbed it "Autonomic Overload Syndrome" ... though these theories only take you so far. You're not going to for example be able to drink gasoline and be healthy simply through the belief that you will. These theories have some merit for sure but within the limits of common sense. If you have an overactive sympathetic nervous system, you need to deal with that and find your inner peace. The process of self actualization, tackling hedonic activities and substituting with eudimonic, will help quite a bit. A common sense balanced diet is the best overall over only eating meat or never eating meat. Variety in a diet is good. Avoiding processed carbohydrates and other addictive foods that cause weight gain is prudent if one lacks self control. As the end of this video shows, a strict vegan diet would not have worked during human evolution, before our ability to fortify foods with nutrients.

I'd implement a set of checks and balances to divide up power in such a way that no individual or group of people could have too much say over any other group of people. Nobody should be able to be a dictator, whether through revolution, votes, or their wealth. The US is more of an oligarchy at this point. The Chinese CCP isn't any better, it's worse. Variations on a theme, thinking any of these "isms" are going to solve the problem of human nature. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Beyond keeping human nature in check I have no desire to destroy any institution just because I don't agree with them.
