Long term survival of the human race is dubious

Some of the people are crazy all of the time, but not all of the people are crazy all of the time.

Some of the people are sane some of the time, but not all of the people are sane all of the time.

If all of the people were sane all of the time, then anarchy, as a stateless non-government, would work.

If a society exists where most of the people are sane most of the time, then a democracy or lottocracy (random selection of representatives from a pool of volunteers), would be desirable.

If a society exists where most of the people are only sane some of the time, we are going on a roller coaster ride which will probably end badly.

We live in a society where some of the people are crazy all of the time, but not all of the people are crazy all of the time. We elect the best liar out of all the lawyers that run for a given office. We have a constitutional government which keeps the insanity from fluctuating too rapidly. Long term survival of our species is dubious.

I hope that the schools can start producing people that are societally sane. In other words, people need to how learn to think not just for the good of themselves, but for the good of society. This doesn’t mean that we have to be uniform in our distribution of wealth and power, but it does mean that wealth and power shouldn’t be distributed entirely to those that want only for themselves. We need a new breed of individual that can think about what is best for society while differentiating between the sane, the producers, the intelligent and those that want the government to support and teach their over-production of children.
