And what if I said I agreed with Plato about philosopher kings? What if I think he was right!?
#how do i write a paper abt this and not seem like im endorcing oligarchies JSKFKFLGLGLV#idk man im disillusioned with the government rn its very difficult to argue in favor of our form of government#like how do i say. yeah i dont think this would actually work in practice#but man if it did ....it would be pretty cool 🫢#idk sometimes i feel like in modern society im too burdened by self awareness and autonomy sjfkfkg#so when we learned about philosopher kings idk it just sounded weirdly ...nice?#like i dont think it would work out bcs people always are going to abuse the system#but god really sometimes i WOULD prefer an almost dictatorship of people who are actually competent#like the idea of philosopher kings is that they are raised to become a leader#that is their speciality. like a baker makes bread. like a fisherman catches fish. etc.#and im sry but rn in this current political climate i think i would prefer that over the grand majority of politicians 🫣#lmao i had to argue in favor of philosopher kings in some debate#so now i like on some level endorse it bcs i had to fight for it yknow and actually made the most compelling argument#its just weird bcs theoretically systems of democracy are a lot easier to tear apart and find the issues in#but yeah LOL hope my prof doesnt get a bad idea of me from this paper 😭😭😭#on some level im playing devils advocate? but rly i do somewhat agree w Plato#i think most political systems are unfortunately very idealistic and are always going to have issues irl#and so its very hard to argue for the system we have now that i witness constant problems from#and easier to argue abt the one i dont live under and have no experience witj#anyways. plato was right. sjkfkf#catie.rambling.txt
