Disagree I have to fight them. Every political system is eventually jettisoned by generational churn.

Medicines we keep using keep proving their value to the present through experiment. We have binned plenty discovered in the past but later revealed to be snake oil.

As ephemeral gibberish does not exist it is naturally lost to time as those who memorized it die off. What’s literally true remains always verifiable by experiment.

I can find academic papers, political arguments we are in violation of the old ideas today anyway. How do we know we even abide them as intended and aren’t just abiding arbitrary math for staffing institutions described by the Constitution? They are not like organic chemistry where cause-effect is obvious. Does “America” give rise to society or people engineering together casually referring to some old gibberish when pressed? How do you test for existence of political ideology except by populist poll? Democratic majority rule. But that’s anti-America which is to prevent majority rule!

What I advocate is more like forgetting they exist by not teaching them. We can teach how to create together versus destroy each other, without the history lesson, and measure for impact literally to avoid carrying forward snake oil.

Of course; everyone else is on the hook for the real estate and other contracts signed by genius CEOs and the experts they hand select.

The rest of us just live here.

It’s still a person. Stop buying into euphemisms for person like “employee” and groups of people like “company”.

Very militaristic, simplistic fake world with hierarchy. Not a shock many winners in the post-world war economy were also fighters in world wars and our job memes echo the structure they had foisted upon them. How were they to make sense of their business if they weren’t at the top of the hierarchy with a rigid chain of command?

Society still has plenty of embedded post-war shell shock and Cold War paranoia in its collective limbic system given all the folks running the world the last few decades were kids in those eras.

Just like with religion before, a lot of effort is put to validation and preservation memory of the elders.

Prior to world wars 90% of workers were self employed. Many economic truisms are driven by contemporary nostalgia. Whole lot of sunk cost fallacy backing why we organize as we do.

Appeals to authority of dead people’s political documents is propaganda.

Just because we can invoke historical story does not mean we abide it today.

The majority inherently rules whether it’s US Constitution or the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. Not really sure how you get to a system of material comfort and logistics we have without majority buy in to not fight and kill.

I wish people would realize how silly they sound reciting the dead peoples chants when the literal world clearly shows majority rule is not so bad literally. For whatever reason quite a few folks prefer to fight over which vain elders hallucinations and diatribes are the one true social system when the reality is providing real stuff to survive is all society really is about.
