Ants are way too community oriented to be used for teaching Nihilism.

People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Love that movie.
Another huge aspect of the Kenyota is that it is a meritocratic system, which I detailed in my manifesto:
The number one criticism of meritocracy is that the concept and definition of merit varies from person to person. But merit is not as subjective as one may believe. In nearly every respected school of thought, whatever benefits the most people, if not society as a whole, is defined as moral. In the context of a meritocratic government, one’s political stature is determined by the amount of good that they contribute to their community and beyond.
Judges are chosen by their merit in twenty-three states and given the power and authority to decide the fate of others. Why shouldn’t our leaders be chosen by their skills rather than by their popularity?
When Donald Trump began his presidential campaign and Kanye West announced his plans to run for president, it was the moment my faith in American democracy had finally died. Our system of government was founded to give political power to the masses in an age of theocrats and monarchs, but who occupied the seats of power? White male landowners with yards filled with laboring slaves. And who occupies the seats of power now? Cowards, scoundrels and whores who earn their deserved epithets by pandering to special interest groups and breaking their oaths to serve their nation to serve the hideous agendas of capitalists to the detriment of citizens.
And who are today’s masses that give them power? Idiots and losers — suckling from the teats of mass media and instant self-gratification, brains atrophied by Fox News and MTV. So much of the American public have devolved into ignorance, abandoning reason and research in favor of aping meaningless slogans because they elicit some form of knee-jerk emotion of confidence or repulsion.
And what did we get from plutocracy and a people whose opinions are shaped by the mass media rather than through education? The Iraq War. The Enron scandal. The Great Recession. ISIL.
Political competition, so long as it is not excessive, is what keeps society strong and it is a meritocratic system that keeps it from stagnating by demanding constant improvement and innovation from those in positions of power to ensure that they are not rightfully usurped by superior leaders. By implementing a system where units of merit form the central column of political power rather than the popular vote, all walks of life are able to participate by making themselves known not only through their words, but through their actions and the demonstration of their strengths both on the stage and in daily life.

lol jk
good post

Attention spans B getting shorter, yo
lol
Welcome back SRBrant! Hope you are well
Your ideas are great. Are you familiar with Charles Eisenstein? He discusses a similar concept to 'meritocracy'... he calls a 'gift economy;'
Here is a short clip summing up his idea - if you dig it, there are plenty more longer presentations you can listen to. He also has a book called 'Sacred Economics' that I've read almost 1/2 of (lol, what did I say about shorter attention spans? :D)
Nice to see you back, brother. The Kitsune have not been around me lately :( don't know why. My creative energies right now are sort of asleep, I'm not producing much. Maybe that's why. Hoping a 'springtime' is coming soon
How have you been? Tell me some Kitsune stories!!
lol

You nignog fantaziers should rest asured that Heinlein hehehe, figured it out already.
The Kitsune tend to be like that. They are a very reclusive bunch. My guess is that they only show up when they really need to.
And yes, I will look into his theory. Although considering how much manufactured crap on this planet, a barter economy might not be bad, either.

^ not a barter economy... a 'gift' economy.
Its a whole shift of perception and energy. He's talking about a 180 degree reversal of what money has done to our consciousness.
There was a Russel Crow movie called 'A Beautiful Mind' about a mathematician named Nash who invented 'Game Theory'. The title of that movie is ironic because Game theory is basically a capitalist business model that says never trust anyone and that its OK to fuck over your competitors, lol
I have long proposed that a TOTAL INVERSE of Nash's Game Theory would have just as powerful results.
This is sort of what Eisenstein is talking about, and also what I am sensing in your KS Meritocracy ideas.
Keep shifting, brother... its weird but we need to keep bringing these concepts into focus

Also, I woke up this morning full of creative energy (I had been quite drained since I came back from my trip, maybe 2 months of dormant creative juju)
If this continues to pick up, I'll be looking forward to some more Kitsune visitations :D
