Have you ever met an heir or an heiress to a large fortune? Most of them are coke heads. Without the actual culture of spiritual and moral training heirs would be incompetent and feudalism would quickly lead to anarchy. I don’t think modern society and culture could produce people like Alexander the Great. Non-western societies (e.g Asia/Singapore) have enough family values that feudal dynasties could work, but wouldn’t bet on it happening in the western world.

I just feel that a system of long term rule with at least a check on the executive similar to an elective monarchy. Or we could do what the celts did and have a Tanistry system of inheritance. The heir is deigned by an election of the eldest/siblings of the current ruler (or if there are none, their parents eldest or cousins, etc, etc).
