Divine right of kings? Result: king does the most profane thing he can bring himself to. "If I do this, will you love me anyway? If I do this will you love me anyway?" Psychosexual.
Only a cluster-B can take a position in a black government. The marked self-hatred drives a constant need for affirmation. A power addiction is like any other addiction; the source is a failure to elicit love from mommy. Drugs are poisonous, which leads to tolerance, which leads to overdose.
The only exception is Exit. If you try to prove you're the genuine article thus put up a berlin wall, everyone leaves before the first course of bricks is laid. Nobody is trapped. Nobody still around to see your touchdown dance.
If your political formula is consent of the governed, are you really in charge if you merely carry out that which has been consented to?
How are you supposed to get your fix if you carry out your duty?
Consequently, democratic representatives concern themselves with doing that which provokes the most dissent. Moldbug's Impact. If you can get away with it, you know you're a real chad. Not some virgin who has to [listen to the people].
"If I do THIS will you vote for me anyway?"
How can you get your fix when you can be voted out? Imagine being the dumb kind of junkie that has to pay for her heroin. How gauche. What a rube.

Bears Repeating: The Political Formula is Perverse.

How would exit work as a political formula? I mean if you have to Exit your country because it is beginning to violate its "promised exit freedom" political formula, it is likely that the destination place authorities will recognize the lack of going back option and treat you much worse than somebody who didn't have to move, such that you won't really benefit from exiting. Unless you don't need to and are safe anyway, but in that case the exit formula isn't doing much for you, and also can't be the source of your security, instead an expression of it, which came from elsewhere, such as being able to overthrow the areas authorities by force, at least if need be. And that's assuming multiple exit political formula jurisdictions, otherwise there is no incentive for your local authorities to do better than ordinary non-exit-guaranteeing government authorities. Although come to think about it, exit could just be used as a litmus test for when has there arisen a need to overthrow the government by force - it's when you start needing a passport to leave, sort of like the Boston Tea Party but for passport. The above would also to be possible necessitate rebellion when people can't own warships and form militias, which i don't think is what you meant by "exit as political formula", it was i think more like preventing abuses of what you call Black Government with the possibility of exit and the lack of perverse justifications for Rule. Would a four-line constitution consisting of : - No need for permission to leave(doesn't have to be let back) , No restrictions on weapons other than nuclear, biological, chemical(but can be executed for crimes), Freedom to form militias(but can be banned for breaking the Law), And saying that the above rules are being broken even falsely can only be punished with exile that can only ever be implemented in june, constitute a perverse political formula? If so, how would pure exit one-liner be better?
I have just now remembered that you wrote something once that constitutions even when they work cause extremely harmful stagnation, and i think gave Islamic Law as an example? So was the above comment bad? Which other ones were good vs bad, or you just did not like them(I would like to know this also)? Also thanks, your blog is very valuable for me.
How does voting work as a political formula? Why don't they just shut down the vote and laugh all the way to the bank?
I don't believe voting works either, or is any good and it doesn't seem as if there can be a better political formula. If it is not your exit formula, then perverse incentives and psychology, if yes and solely exit than the rulemakers do whatever they want and could decide to begin to stop people leaving such as your berlin wall construction example but hasn't yet, which is no different to present-day actuality everywhere but north korea, cuba and ukraine, which means that adopting exit political formula would not add any benefits. Would then the purpose of exit as the sole political formula be not to incentivize the rulers to do something better, but solely to remove the psychological perversity you described of breaking rules to show they can, such as with moldbugs impact in democracy. So I guess the powerful do as they please anyway and are not restricted by the political formula, thus giving everybody the same outcomes as in a society without one, or worse due to the perversity problem described in the original post. Is this closer to correct now?
They can't break the perception of voting. It's carved in stone.
Naturally, voting was chosen precisely because the perception is wholly divorced from the Reality. Cast your fake and gay non-lead ballots, lol, lmao, kek.
With Exit, the perception is the Reality. You can't make a videogame invisible wall that keeps folk in, and even if you did they would realize something is trapping them.
