Agreed

Though to Churchills point I’m not sure what is better. In anything I don’t think there are absolutes - forms of govt ebbs and flows through cultures and time

Agree. I think a government borne out of pure human rationality can cause a “constant”. Aristotle, Kant, Spinoza talks about rationality as ultimate end in a way (the highest virtue). Unfortunately we’ve buried that a longtime ago and replaced the reflective capacity to rationalize overpowered by the primitive brain’s “desire”.

Good convo to end my Monday night. Thank you both for engaging.

This is gold!!
