Yeah, so I think about democracy, monarchy, like when I'm processing and watching what you're saying in other interviews and then I'm saying, I'm asking questions.
Okay, what is the benefit?
Sell monarchy.
Monarchy to me is 75% by birth, 25% by sword.
So 25% by sword, and it says the last time somebody replaced the king by sword was 1689.
Since then, it's been pretty much by birth.
Okay, of the 75% that's by birth, there is no competition in a monarchy.
And so if you look at, sayโ But if you let me make the point, so where I'm going with this is the monarchy side, if it's by birth, there is no competition.
It's the oldest son.
It used to be 50% oldest son in the 1600s.
Then it went to 60%.
Today, it's about 80% is the oldest son that replaces the king.
So 30 years in advance, I know who's going to be my king, so it's not like I'm going to go run and campaign.
And then it says monarchies make more long-term decisions with debt.
Then in America, on a democracy, you may offer anything to get elected because it's a four-year election cycle.
But then at least in a democracy, you have more freedom, more say.
In a monarchy, you can get a good leader, a good king, and then all of a sudden the next guy comes up and, holy shit, this guy's a dictator, controlled, doesn't want you to say anything.
You lose your freedom of speech.
You lose your...
Freedom and innovation, you have to listen to certain things, maybe because he had a big fallout with his father and he hates his father and my father's an evil man.
