i think it would be neat to be ruled over by a council of benevolent scientists, or perhaps a philosopher king. democracy just seems like a bad idea and it hasn’t been working very well. if it’s a popularity contest then we just get charismatic populists and demagogues.

the only way i think democracy would work is if we give animals the right to vote. I think with some technology we could figure out how to teach dogs and horses and dolphins to vote, that would be a good start. then maybe have like a council of tree experts and plant enthusiasts to represent the interests of plants in all votes.

    If everyone pledges their allegiance to me, I promise to implement FALGSC and my personal sex cult will only feature consenting adult women. You’re welcome to shop around, but I don’t think you’re gonna get a better deal than that.

      My personal sex cult would mostly about the costumes and the set dressing and choreography, with maybe a little actual sex as a unifying theme.

        Years ago I figured out I most deeply connect with women who have praise kinks. So as silly as it may sound, my ideal sex cult would probably be just me being a polyamorous life coach.😅
