Okay, we need to go on and invest in even more health of society.
Let me try and explain what is at stake, seen from a Platonic/biblical perspective.
The republic, which is a system of government that comes from the Middle East from city states as Babylon, Eridu and Ur, has an internal weakness. The weakness of corruption, moral corruption and economic corruption.
When this hits the republic, the philosopher is supposed to bring the truth and fight for a healthy state. At least this was the idea of Plato, which was my initial inspiration to be a philosopher.
Fight the corruption of society, to mend it and make it fit for fight again.
In consequence of this, we have had a lot of renewal of societies. Not least economically, which is driving the rebirth of American Economy. Mr. Trump keeps coming up with new ideas all the time. It’s pretty impressive. He knows money.
However, internally IN the state apparatus, there is a lot of corruption going on. Mr. Musk tried to fight this with geek squad, but it went sideways, somehow.
I think it was because it was not in line with the basic ideas of a state.
Now, I have been working on the same problem, just from another angle for some time.
I wrote a book called Eden, a reference to the ideas of the first pilgrims, discussing the faults of the current system in the light of the first idealists landing on the shores of America.
They wanted to build and Eden in the new land, a reference to the first city in the city states of the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East.
My point is, or it’s not my point, but the point of the Bible, that a city state where ALL the functions of the state are actually working, there is bliss and happiness.
So this reflects back on the administration, because the reason why the state and in consequence the country is unhappy, is because the state does not work.
The religion is not 100% sharp, fertility rates are down, people gets divorced all the time. The judges are often motivated by other things than justice and the law process is Byzantine.
Now, we can’t just use the geeks and then make the state uncorrupted. It’s a much larger endeavor. Religion has to work, business has to work. The banks had to work. The schools have to work, properly.
That is the larger game.
People will accept, that one wants to renew the law making process. Simplify it. Reduce government bodies to fewer and leaner.
People will accept a preacher who preaches from the heart and is uncorrupted. People will love a bank, that is honest and doesn’t abuse its privilege.
See? Making the institutions of the republic work again is the long haul.
G-d bless the happiness of the people, and the bliss of the first American dream of Eden.
