    Education is an alternative to democracy?

      Either you don’t get it or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

      Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.

      As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms forms?.

        Someone asked what the alternative to democracy was. They answered “education”.

    Dangerous people are identified as a young age and are placed in a virtual reality where they can do no harm and live out their narcissists and we don’t have to deal with them.

      how do you define dangerous? what’s the cut off point? is stealing a water bottle from a homeless person the same as tealing it from walmart? same item technically

        You’re way too overthinking this.

        IMO its not about the item, but the intent. I know we’re getting into hypotheticals and rhetoricals, but IMO, the line is doing anything that causes harm to another living being without feeling remorse.

        Stealing a water bottle from a megacorp doesn’t harm anybody. Stealing a water bottle from a homeless person can mean life or death.
