I'll have you know i paid something like $600 to know that shit about Aristotle. (well i guess if we prorate it to only the Aristotle lectures were talking more like $100 -- there is also a piece of paper somewhere saying I did it better than anyone in the class).

That's just the negative version of aristocracy. Like Tyranny vs Monarchy. But good point I guess.

To me...that's all bullshit I guess... I don't think there is such thing as Aristocracy as he articulated it -- maybe in small villages etc. There definitely have been benevolent kings...there has never been an entire nobility that was benevolent.

A kakistocracy (English pronunciation: /kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century. It was also used by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but gained significant usage in the 21st century.
I think this does indeed happen more than people realize. I first noticed this in MMORPGs....you ever notice how the most incompetent and pathetic fucks in the guild are the highest status, have the most loot, lots of friends...etc?

What happens when a super fast-rising good player tries to shake things up? Well hes kicked of course. Way too threatening.

Imagine my surprise when I find out this kind of how modern corporations work. Kill the threatening people and promote the dumbasses who you can relay on. They know their a piece of shit lucky to have the job. Last thing you need is someone smarter and more capable around challenging you.

Evidence: I was pretty bad at video games but was always in whatever the top MMO guild was on my server with some of the best loot (except that faceless shit - LOL at that).

Governments founded by meritocracy which lead to an aristocracy have historically been good until the noble seed is weakened and corrupted.
