Or I think what your gut tells you:
* Monarchy
* Zero socialism
* Culture
* Few laws
Cutting red tape and dependency ends most of the problems; you still need a social direction or things fall apart, and only culture can do that.
Then you need to stop the self-manipulation echo chamber feedback loop of democracy, oligarchy, et al.
After that... you have made a new world, simply by cutting out bits from the old.... and cutting out the bloated, parasitic, and dysfunctional bits of the old.

Meaning occurs in groups as well as in individuals.
Individualists do not agree of course.
People as a group need purpose and direction or you get tragedy of the commons.
Culture is quite important.

Our recent discussion was about this.
I grew up in the rugged mountains of West Virginia. Hunting, fishing and camping. Loved camping in the cold snow and hunting deer. No tent, just a good bag or bed roll, a fire and canvas tarp. Good times. I thank the good Lord because he let me grow up in those mountains.

Americans say AI could never launch nuclear weapons in the future because AI has never launched nuclear weapons in the past.

@freepatriot This is why we need to keep electing governments that believe in democracy and freedom of speech. Socialism is death.

@freepatriot Precisely. Trade with friendly nations should be free. Trade with unfriendly nations should either be illegal or priced so high it may as well be illegal. It's about punishing evil, not making money to fund wars.

@freepatriot Rational self-interest suggests that voters should want their money to retain its value, but people don't always vote that way.
