>The 'Will of the People' is too easily swayed by forces such as the elite, the media, passing disasters.
I agree.
>Do you agree with what the people or their representatives have deemed suitable?
No. Not even close.
You know what, I'd love to be king, and I even have some lineage from the Stuart and Bruce (UK) royal lines. If I were King I'd implement the democratic system I've described but retain the right to intervene when and where I deem necessary. Would you support me for King? I am not the smartest person out there, nor the healthiest, and certainly not the luckiest. Ultimately even a King needs the consent of the governed, at least to the extent that people do not revolt. How does a would be King secure this consent? Religion.
Today the rulers of this world rule through the illusions of money and democracy. Money can be created, and with it democracy manipulated… yet people believe in these illusions now more than the strength of bloodlines, or greater causes.
To be King I would have to:
1) Develop a systematized 'religion,' to be the new system, the greater purpose in life, and convert people to it. My greater purpose is Beauty. But this is just a value, and not enough for people to rally around.
2)Vanquish my enemies (undermine the current system)
3)Provide appropriate rewards to my supporters
4)Defend my right to lead
5)Sire and raise able heirs who share my vision, and place them in administrative positions after sufficient experience.
