Assume that all bureaucracy must be torn down and reset every 100 years or so at least.

Possibly 50.

Make that more often, and you'll realize it more.

Oh. Is that what will happen? 🤓

Refresh the tree of liberty 🌳🩸

Oh that’s coming. There really is no question in my mind. I also know the people calling for it are going to run and hide like babies when it actually happens, because they are a generation of the biggest mouths and softest hands.

With this generation full of pussies I must agree unfortunately

Corporations would be a great case study for this. Look at how hugely successful an organization can be when it's young and how broken they become after 50+ years. IBM and Boeing come to mind immediately

It’s weird though.

Don’t you think?

It completely fascinates me.

The reasons why somethings last and some don’t.

I'm convinced that no organization can last indefinitely. Some just fail more slowly than others

Kongo Gumi is a construction corporation founded in Osaka, Japan in 578AD, and has been in continual operation since then.

Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan is a hot springs hotel in Japan which has operated since 705 AD

The list is much longer.

Understanding what they did differently is worthwhile

I think that's part of the logic behind the jubilee cycle. Soft reset every fifty years in order to remember our common humanity, curtail our unbridled greed, and restore a sense of perspective between the temporal and the eternal.

I hadn’t even really considered that.

But it makes perfect sense. A great reset every 50 years. That whole governmental structure is worth studying
