How Much Wisdom Do We Really Know About How to Regulate the World?
The idea of the early 20th century that we sort of learned something about how to govern humans that we didn't know 500 years ago, I was just looking for a slightly unrelated reason. Axel Oxenstirna basically governed the entire nation of Sweden for the first half of the 17th century. He said, you know, who knows how little wisdom the world is governed. You know, and meanwhile, we have this country ruled by barbecue, right? We could say that we in 2023 now know how to govern the world very, very wisely.
