Absolutely.
IMHO, the best outcomes come from moral, economic, political systems competing with each other.
Show me an instance of purity and a lack of competition of ideas that ever turned out well. It always turns out tyrannical, hypocritical, and oppressive. Always.
Diversity of thought, as taboo as it might be to say today, is more important than what people tend to think of when thinking of diversity.
But it can't be so diverse than millions of people are all going their rabid individualistic path. It needs to be a competition and inter-influence of tribes
- slver 5y agoWhat you're witnessing in the US is not systems competing on their merit, but rather competing by throwing money at various social manipulation techniques, misinformation campaigns and so on. That's not diversity of thought. That's lack of thought, with a few different colors of paint on each side. Tribalism isn't merely "competing ideas". It's literally the tribal members suppressing their own thought process in order to align WITH their tribe and AGAINST the other tribe. This alignment makes otherwise intelligent individuals collectively quite stupid and easy to mislead and manipulate.
