What about monarchies? Are princes William and Harry really so extraordinarily intelligent compared to your average suburban middle class man? Further, even many supposedly self made men are in...
Yes, but do the more intelligent necessarily use it in a humane and productive manner?
A lot of the time it is through personal, political and business connections, rather than their endeavours or intelligence per se.
More generally, class and wealth hierarchies are legitimate in a way that racial and sexual hierarchies are not: to a significant extent, one can change one's class and wealth through their own...
I get what you are saying and agree to an extent. But the point is that the rich and powerful will almost always find ways to try to maintain it, 3ven if they aren't actually that intelligent and...
But what is often forgotten is that, in open hierarchies, if some go up then others should go down too. A dodgy and corrupt businessperson does not deserve to keep his or her wealth and status. As...
But the main question ought to be not whether there should be a hierarchy per se, but whether mobility within it is possible or not. (Basically, the difference between class and caste).
Not always true: ever heard of oligarchs and monarchies?
Indeed, Fascism need not mean anything like the cruelties and atrocities of the Nazis. In fact, if you look at Salazar and Peron in particular, they could be described as 'benevolent fascists':...

So you could have predicted I'd have those scores then? :D
I agree to an extent - liberty is NOT anarchy. Without proper law and order, all bets are off.
Quite centrist, although your low score for Care and high score for Purity are a tad surprising.
What do you think of my results? Regarding yours, you score higher on Authority than I'd have anticipated.
Would you even lie to the authorities to protect them?
I am most surprised you score so high on in-group. You are no CV or Smeagol, after all. xD
So where would you draw the line at equal opportunities? What do you think of female mechanics and male nurses?
He looks a little bit like a younger Hafaz al-Assad, but nothing that exotic really.

Regarding environmentalism, it is nowadays seen as a left-wing ideology, even though many of its most fundamental aspects, such as its suspicion of technology and economic growth and its love of...
Which 'real opposition' is that?
Like I said in another thread, the following two facts have especially surprised me:
