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.
