Aristotle did not use the word corruption, but his arguments can be summarized as "corruption is the root of tyranny". In corrupt states, politicians rule for themselves, not for the people, not for the nation, not even for the government.

they don't care about us and never did. But i do wonder what the next level is after forming states, probably a world government of the state that fought for supremacy on the planet.
It is not broken if that is the design. You have rules so they have power. It's that simple. You are untrustworthy to them so need railings and ceilings to live by.
Human nature. The clever ones rise to the top, and the selfish gene reigns more dominant, therefore politicians looking out for themselves for the most part. Also, giving freedom to the masses is insane.
The pyramid mentioned (individualism, tribalism, state bureaucracy) goes beyond the macroscopic level to the growth of the individual (baby, child, parent). BUT each level needs to be developed for sanity. Meaning, you can't skip over individualism without leaving someone with an undeveloped foundation. Also, a person can stay at the individual level as an intelligent lone wolf "Sigma" without having an arrested development, if they see the other levels as being stuffed with self-deluded simpletons.
Once I lived near an antiquity shop where they used to sell very cheap old books and I used to buy the ones in French for practice. Gosh I wish I remembered now the name of this book but unfortunately I forgot: it was about a man who goes from aspiring politician and first is just elected major of a town but then builds his career up and becomes a more prominent public figure. The character begins by honestly wanting to do things and makes all these claims and promises this and that. As the novel progresses of course he gets caught up in his own persona and there is this scene where two very naive pheasants to whom he promised help appear in another town because they followed his advice but now they are impoverished and they still trust him and he must dispatch them with some empty words, it is a bit comical this scene but it shows how his guilt sometimes comes to haunt him as he climbs up the social ladder and his internal self transforms. This book was from year 18 something, from the 19th century not even the 20th... It was so surprising to read a more accurate and honest description of what often happens in a book from so long ago...
Unfortunately some people don't get it. If person A and person B apply for the same position but person B discusses a higher paid salary due to their references why would person A be mad. It doesn't matter what college you went to or even experience what matters is the RESULT on the dotted line. Negotiating tactics are apart of business and can't be taught.
If the professional bureaucrats were able to understand the individualistic nature of the people they govern and lord over, then they probably wouldn’t make such bad decisions. I think certain people / presidents / politicians / bureaucrats care, or have cared throughout history. They just aren’t rewarded or remembered for caring.
They care about their peers / friends and the ideas in the echo chamber they are part of, that enabled them to get the job they now have. Plus, once you've compromised more than a few times to get ahead, you're probably a little jaded (even if you started off with good intentions).
Those that are less valuable at preserving the state, whether they are less cooperative or less skilled, are left behind or forgotten. That leaves the highly specialized and the highly fanatical / nationalistic to be the ones that get ahead. Come wartime, preserving the nation becomes more important than keeping families intact. Indoctrination becomes more important than independent thought.
@@millercomo8023 My comment got deleted because probably the feds saw it and want it removed. But to put it in a different way where I don't get censored again, just look at China or North Korea. They are more on the State side of the spectrum than the US.
Well... Preserving the state is important, because it enables many other things. Even so, all (mostly) static systems become mal-adapted over time, in a world that has changed too much for them to still be a good choice. So, periodically, you need some level of disruption. Trump... Is possibly a peaceful version of disruption (it not necessarily one likely to address all the key pain points of the country today)
How about electoral reform so you actually have a democracy. Two-party politics, who does that actually serve and why do you even call that a democracy?
Or honeypoted in the business world, and are now paying the price. Seeming like more than anyone who believes in liberty would like to believe. Temptation is a real -😮
He forgot the top triangle of the pyramid self-organized states where a decentralized digital network replaces 90% of elected officials with software, separating Money and State, maintaining a rule-of-law without impeding upon individual rights! 😂
Your assuming criminals don't take their cut. They always do good governance accounts for that. When they don't, you have corruption, and it's an absolute fact. The local government is getting a cut.
With that analogy being said. The purpose of preserving the state definitely seems like a virtuous goal. It’s better than society collapsing back to tribalism or individualism.
And man I need my bureaucrats. If it wasn't for bureaucrats directly acting on my advice this year, I wouldn't have got myself back. People don't realise. Bureaucrats do listen but you better have that advice down in dot points and it better be profound because they are busy people and they got a lot to care about. If you think you got a lot to do as a normal person down the ladder, you have know idea. And they are very normal. My favourite part is their background always. What drives them. Some have real depth that will blow you away. Like old Senator James Paterson there. (Just an example) 911 changed his life the same as it changed mine forever. Proper real guy with depth. Not perfect but real as you get. Raw AF. Should make him AU ambassador to Washington. I mean no one see the Panda eyes these guys get sometimes. When they care. I know what does that. Sleepless nights. Its hardcore when i see that. Farking hard. Thats one of the reasons i call him gunner because I think you could put him through selection and hed probably pass. Its that mentality where sleep doesn't matter. Functioning without sleep, few posses that talent. Proper hardcore.

You can do things with all the best intentions and still be wrong. That's the great thing about democracy. We get to vote. We get to choose who represents us. You look at the outcome of the US election. Us in Australia had a negative view of Trump. I looked like an idiot the second time saying he will win. You could see what the American public overwhelmingly wanted. You watch any podcast almost and people were very pro trump.
overwhelmingly? As far as the popular vote goes, it's the smallest majority in a long time. That said, it's the first time he hasn't *lost* the popular vote, so I guess that's an improvement for him...
Seems like greed is our biggest problem. The majority of politicians will support the government just enough to enrich themselves.

The state would be more preserved if they had ethics and weren’t fostering dirty lies
Awesome observations man. it's crazy to see how patterns of evolution (of the individual) seem to recapitulate onto evolution of the collective
And now like Sir John glubb said-I’m paraphrasing-they’ve had it too good for too long, and don’t appreciate what it takes to keep the country going.

I’ve wondered about this topic since the 1980’s.
If the professional bureaucrats were able to understand the individualistic nature of the people they govern and lord over, then they probably wouldn’t make such bad decisions. I think certain people / presidents / politicians / bureaucrats care, or have cared throughout history. They just aren’t rewarded or remembered for caring.
They are rewarded by the power they cling to.
That's why the CIA needs more power and a billion dollar budget upgrade.
If you don’t teach a couple of generations honour, ethics, truth, power used correctly, and love for each other…..then this is where you end up…..

i thought they care about the money
They care about their peers / friends and the ideas in the echo chamber they are part of, that enabled them to get the job they now have.
Plus, once you've compromised more than a few times to get ahead, you're probably a little jaded (even if you started off with good intentions).
Nobody said money isn't a factor as well.
Agreed
This is not what the founding fathers had in mind when the country was established.
Why can't you do both
