Getting Noticed By Management
So here are three ways you can run something. You can have a group of people who judge what is best (aristocracy). Or you can have one man who can judge what is best (king). Or you can have laws that judge what is best.
Here's something interesting I've noticed.
Ok I was in a chat room. The chat room included all 3 types of governments. There's a guy who runs the chat room, the king. There are MODs who can use the power of the king. And then there's a robot that merely does what the laws say for it to do, all automatically.
So, there's like 20 mods in this chat. Now the mods, they abuse their power all the time. They ban people because they hate those people, instead of banning them because those people broke the laws. They silence the people all the time for saying things they don't like. They clear the chat to interrupt the chat. It's generally mod abuse after mod abuse.
Now the king, he's actually a pretty cool guy. He generally lets the people do what they wish, and only really uses any of the rules against them when they've broken his laws and have been really horrible. He never abuses his power.
But, if the king were as terrible as the mods, the chat room would be even worse because he has total power. Luckily, he's a benevolent dictator!
And then the robot is the fairest of them all. It merely makes everyone adhere to the proper rules of the chat. It can't abuse its power. It treats everyone equally and impartially. You wouldn't even know it's there except that it pops up every once in awhile merely to enforce rules.
--------------------------------------------------------
So anyway, this is what I've learned from studying how people act in this chat.
The aristocracy is the worst form of government. The laws are conflicting, because every MOD has a different view on what the laws should be. And also, the mods abuse their power all the time for various reasons. It's just a terrible government to have to be under. You never know who you're going to piss off or whose toes you're going to step on, so it makes it hard to say anything in the chat.
The next best form of government is the king. Now the good thing about the King is, there's only one law, his law. It's not many conflicting laws from many different people. But, because he's got so much power, the even slight abuses he might do are even larger and more catastrophic.
And finally, the best government is the robot. The robot is always fair and enforces the rules it's told to. It's completely lawful and completely keeps order. It never abuses anything and never treats anyone worse or better than anyone else. It's the laws themselves with no personal judgement or capriciousness.
So, from studying the differing types of government in action, it would appear that a government of laws is best.
