Authoritarianism perpetuates

Human societies always trend toward authoritarianism, or non-meritocratic hierarchical structures lacking in freedom and egalitarianism. I make several compelling arguments for how this is the end fate for every long lived, large human society in this episode. No matter how good they become at some point, all human societies trend in this direction in the long run. This trend seems to me to be impossible to counteract, given human nature and the sorts of dynamics that go on when human beings interact with one another.

I conclude by saying that this usually ends up being a bad thing for many people, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be bad for any given individual who is not at the top. This work around for the individual only works in certain cases.
