>Now, let us design the ideal government, using only facts and logic.>To begin with, consider the case of a man with a magic ring that turns him invisible.
>>25007262yeah that one was a meme, he does it for real in Laws after he realized that socrates was a retard.
You don't understand logic. If you think "magic" is illogical.
>>25007487Excellent point.
>>25007546yeah i know. i made it.
>>25007262I mean, it's a good thought experiment. It asks you to imagine someone who can get away with anything without consequence, and to consider if anything could control their behaviour.
>>25007880Ideas can control behavior. Ideas themselves are selected for and compete in much the same way that living things do. Unlike most life, however, ideas cannot exist on their own. They must parasitize a host to propagate and ensure their continued existence. Thus, ideas that are uniquely effective in steering the behavior of hosts towards the survival of the idea (rather than the host) have become immensely popular and widespread.A person who is free from negative consequences of action is not automatically free from these ideas. They may still be parasitized and bound to values inserted to serve the idea rather than themselves. In other words they do not act because they are convinced of negative consequence where there are none.

>>25007262>using only facts and logicabsolutely nothing this dick ever wrote was based on "facts", just pedantry and false analogies
