imagine owning a house versus renting a house when you rent a house do you start a garden fix the siding or clean out the attic probably not but when you own the house Everything Changes because you have more stake in the property and you care more about its future and this is relevant to today because most of my generation will never be able to afford a house we live in a renter society and that's because democracy itself is a rental our leaders are more akin to Temporary caretakers who are incentivized to drive the economy and
drive the nation like a rental they often think short-term versus long-term and prioritize private interests and that which appeals to the masses rather than what is right as a result it's so common and incentivized for leaders to make decisions that are detrimental to Future Generations like creating the Federal Reserve and in 1971 on going off the gold standard and creating inflationary monetary policies which essentially pad the pockets of the ultra Rich who have assets and destroy the prospects of future Generations all of these things created short-term benefit at tremendous long-term cost Warren Buffett the most
famous investor out there is most enthusiastic about investing in familyowned companies why because family-owned companies think Generations ahead if you're going to pass down a company to your kids and your kids kids you're going to do things that make it most sustainable and successful in the long run not the short run this is basically the argument for monarchy over democracy is a monarch is incentivized to think Generations ahead and isn't pandering to the public opinion while a president must Pander for a vote and it's incentivized to think four years ahead democracy at of large scale
like in America is doomed to corruption even the founding fathers were wary of it Plato and Socrates openly despised democracy and yet we touted around as the sacred god of the West in undeniable good that we even go to war for but look around democracy is a promise that's failed Hans Herman HOA a prominent Austrian School Economist and philosopher provides a compelling critique of democracy in his books especially democracy The God That Failed he argues that much of the West's economic progress occurred not because of democracy but in spite of it side note here haa
is one of the writers who has inspired Javier Malay Argentina's philosopher president who is slashing bureaucracy and fixing the economy at record speed but that's for another video to understand the dominance of democracy in modern times it's essential to look at a pivotal moment in history World War I before the war monarchies and aristocracies were the norm in Europe with Austria Hungary and other Royal Nations maintaining a centuries old structure essentially This World War was between liberal capitalist democracy AKA America and the old monarchies of Europe led by Austria Hungary and history is written by
The Victors never forget that and if you think the media is full of lies imagine our past America after winning the war enforced a shift in global ideology monarchies were increasingly depicted as archaic and oppressive while democracy was the champion of freedom and progress democracy was elevated to a moral imperative and defending it became religious in nature with people viewing Democratic governance as inherently righteous and Superior but is it haa documented all of this in his short book aristocracy to monarchy to democracy and I recommend everyone read it to have civilization you need leaders people
who settle disputes and organize efforts in the most barebones type of society a natural aristocracy tends to arise to fulfill these needs these are composed of men who demonstrate more courage wisdom and intelligence than most we call such men natural leaders today people naturally turn into such personalities to resolve conflicts and lead in times of War these Aristocrats tend to attract higher quality friends and mates which creates higher quality Offspring and over time these families become recognized as a noble family or a royal family a king for most of human history is simply the head
of such a noble family he is the one who is most often looked to to settle disputes and make decisions essentially people in every Society must externalize authority to something or someone in order to settle disputes and lead in times of trouble and the past we have chosen a king today we choose endless bureaucratic processes and laws which are far more tiresome and tyrannical than most kings were haa pointed out one misunderstanding we have about Kings and that is a natural Monarch does not create the law and he is not above the law he in
fact arbitrates the law to arrive at the most just solution he's not drawing on precedent but applying reason to solve problems in a natural system free men would turn to a different Noble if the King was unfair basically if the king sucked the people would just leave him for a different Noble if the King was really bad then Nobles could dispatch him hence monarchy where the king is the first among peers seems to be the most natural and organic form of governance and social structuring in fact we still use this model for for all businesses
and movie production today directors and CEOs are basically pseudo Kings imagine trying to make a good film out of a bureaucratic process instead of a director with a vision you would get modern Disney movies and this was the fear of every philosopher worthy of the name that democracy promotes the disbelief in all great men of vision and promotes the common bureaucrat instead if everything broke down and we went back to Sticks and Stones tribes would immediately form within tribes natural Aristocrats would rise people naturally gather around the strong and charismatic leaders and those leaders also
tend to attract the highest quality mates hence their family becomes a breeding program and from within those royal families monarchs would arise in the generations to come it's inevitable that some leaders would be bad but in a natural system leaders are actually incentivized to make the conditions good because the more the people Prosper the more powerful the nation becomes the more it expands its dominance and influence hence I think royal families of the past might have been more Royal than you think now feudal kingship has flaws for sure I don't agree with the low social
mobility and lack of private ownership amongst the common people I think it's time we get curious about the origin of states and political structuring especially with an eye to creating resilient and flourishing communities today that's what this channel is dedicated to creating High culture and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow if you're a man or a leader out there that wants to find like-minded individuals discuss these ideas together and grow into your strongest version I am building the men's Academy first link in the description below and if you want to learn more about my ideas about
