Why Social Order is Important
5th October 2008
Read it.
When social order declines through bad leadership, common sense is not to best on the past — the social order that just failed — but to bet on the future, which is getting your pile of cash away from the idiots before they screw it up again. I think that’s why people who are older and wiser and accustomed to this system have not really blinked at this bailout. Waste all your money keeping the system going? Of course they did — they do it with every single thing they do, every day. When society is ruled by popularity, it tends to deny social order, because individuals don’t want to be obligated. They want to be free. As a result, it creates decaying situations in which anyone with a brain would do as those Wall Street traders did — raid while the raiding’s good, because soon the idiots will destroy the rest of it with another well-intentioned, unrealistic plan. Civilization is its own enemy.
