"right wing elites have a suspicion toward direct democracy and want an educated class to rule without input of the crowd. But when you look at what policies direct democracy creates it's mostly right wing policies (with some left wing mixed) Take a look at what California voters passed: 1) capped property tax rates at X% of assessed value 2) Proposition 18: X strikes rule: mandated 25-to-life sentences for offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions 3) Proposition 187: denied undocumented immigrants access to public services 4) Proposition 8: banned same-sex marriage"

"For much of American history the intellectual and moral origin of the West was traced to Athens and Rome. Athens as the birthplace of democracy and philosophy Rome as the ability to turn ideas into institutions to make abstract ideals durable through law architecture and administration. Jerusalem has really supplanted both in the American Mind as the origin of the West. The American myth used to see itself as a New Rome (the republic that inherits the classical world). Increasingly it sees itself as a New Jerusalem (a chosen nation fulfilling divine history)"

It's only happened once and that was in 1933. and yet in countries like Spain it isn't a big deal. You can visit there and everyone is walking around crime is low and life goes on. The federal government has to intervene during any economic crisis to prevent social collapse. The US doesnt have the cultural or institutional buffer to absorb XX% unemployment peacefully"

"In states with direct democracy say Switzerland for instance people immediately vote for very low property tax. Something like .3%. Same thing happened in California when they put property tax on the ballot in a referendum. The same direct democracy in these places also vote for tough crime policies. Which is another repeated pattern. There's a real human aversion to permanent property tax on homes. My guess is any real democratic society would make it very low and focus on other taxes to fund government"

"Marriage used to be the entry point into adult life. One of the first steps. Today marriage has become the culmination of adulthood the final step after a long run of individual experiences. People are expected to first build careers live alone travel date for years and only then settle into marriage. Marriage went from foundation to trophy. It is no longer the stabilizing base that anchored young people early but an almost luxury milestone once life is already sorted out. Which is precisely why its rarer now"

"Best bet is to look at the Tibetan language. Tibetans carry genetic adaptations from Denisovans the EPAS1 gene which allows them to breath in oxygen at high altitude. They got this through interbreeding with Denisovans. Probably came recently. They also have folk stories of the Yeti living in the isolated areas of the himalayas that resemble pre-human species. Tibet is one of the few places on earth where genetic geographic and mythic evidence all overlap in a way that hints at deep contact between modern humans and archaic ones"
