Hierarchy or ranking is a system of command. To put it simply, its about who commands who.

In US military, we have the president. Below him are generals. Below the generals are officers. Below the officers are ordinary soldiers.

The president's decision matters the most, since he is at the top of hierarchy.

In case general and officer disagree about something, the officer has to obey the general due to the general having higher rank. The only case where officer could disobey is if he had support from higher authority such as the president.

The system of hierarchy is not new. It exists even in animals. The first humans had a simple hierarchy with one leader being followed by a group. Later, the more advanced hierarchy was invented.

In the Bible, there are instructions on how to create hierarchy in society:

"He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens." - Exodus 18:25

"Official over thousands" is someone who has higher rank than "official over hundreds". So if a disagreement happens between those two officials, it is the "official over thousands" who gets to decide, while lower official has to obey.

Also, this part of the Bible tells us about the number of officials that should be there. "Official over hundreds" is basically one such official per 100 people.

In Sparta, the social hierarchy consisted of the Spartans at the top. They were full citizens and the ruling class. Below them were the Helots(slaves), who were forced to work and provide for the Spartans.

The two kings and the Council of Elders were at the top of the hierarchy and held the most power in Sparta.

Spartans had some respect for slaves, since slaves were allowed to own property and keep half of what they produce.

In the Roman Empire, at the top of hierarchy was the emperor, the Senate, and the patrician class, followed by the equestrian class, the plebeian class, and then the slaves.

The emperor held the most power, followed by the Senate.

The patrician class was comprised of wealthy and influential families.

The equestrian class were the professional administrators and businessmen.

The plebeian class consisted of the lower-class citizens, such as farmers.

Slaves were considered the lowest class in Roman society.

In the US government, at the top of governing hierarchy is the congress and president, since congress makes the laws and president can place veto on the decision of congress. The congress can overturn the veto with large majority vote.

It seems that almost every society in history and every military had hierarchy system in place for effective commanding.

The hierarchy system in place is there to avoid mob rule.

Hierarchy system depends on protection gained from military. Those who disobey the hierarchy are punished. Ranks in hierarchy are protected by the military that ensures that those who follow the hierarchy are protected, while those who disobey it are punished. This makes hierarchy possible. Otherwise, anyone could just disobey his generals and have no consequences or could make himself general and system would collapse.

Animals only have primitive hierarchy, which humans had at the start. 1 group and 1 leader is the simplest form of hierarchy. When you have thousands of group leaders, officers, generals, president each existing in order of command, having ranks that put them one above other, that is an advanced hierarchy.

Hierarchy - may not seem like important thing, but its actually crucial for any kind of organization of society.

Alright, this is going too far.

1) This is about the specific post in question, which is the post that was described as "making me feel bad and indirectly encouraging my suicide".

Even if it was made, I didnt care about it enough to even remember it being posted.

2) There is no point in doing any debate about it, let alone making the person who loses to leave the site.

3) If the post was made and moderators dont want to punish it, it is their choice. I prefer if they dont punish it if it was made.

4) I understand that posts encouraging suicide are a sensitive issue, because there are people who would be greatly hurt if someone encouraged them to commit suicide. There are people who are close to committing suicide and encouraging them to do that would make them do that, as opposed to not encouraging which would make them not do it.

5) I am not a sensitive person. Nothing anyone says can actually make me suicidal. If the post in question was made, then the warning would be more suitable to discourage same message being sent to other users without punishing anyone.

Right now we dont have lots of small governments to manage things. Instead, we rely on big government to manage healthcare and such.

The idea of state of communes is that there is a central government keeping small governments from abusing power, while small governments manage things like healthcare, housing...ect.

The small governments should, in my opinion, govern only 20 to 100 people. To ensure they are in contact with people.

Currently we have governments in states with over a million people. There is no way that such governments can be in touch with regular people due to the number of people they need to govern.

I am having ideas about this.

WW1

WW2

Korean war

Vietnam war

Sparta

Rome

Alexander the great

The Crusades

Yes, there will be plenty to cover.

Yes, you did.

Not if there is a central government keeping groups in order.

Education is too expensive. Even kindergarten costs like 2000$.

I have been on this site for over 6 months. I havent seen a significant increase in active users yet. So if a significant increase happens now, yes I will consider it a result of update and advertising.

I would rather if this doesnt turn into insults and talks about elections, when we should be offering helpful opinions.

Propose your best solutions and opinions while the owner is here. This is your chance to shape the future of the site and how it will look like and what options will be there.

When some person earns so much money, it is expected that he would use some of it to help the community. What Elon Musk did was good. People should appreciate these actions more. However, currently, the media is not giving enough attention to it. If more attention was given to these donations, these donations would be more common with other rich people too.

K_Michael,

I would say that its a very small charter city with population of 20.

I suggest a test. We could wait to see if this new change leads to new users staying on the site for longer.

Right now, the standard is that most new accounts make a debate and then forfeit and leave the site forever or become completely inactive.

Hence, we meassure the pool of active users to see if the pool increases or stays the same.

Well, the society would be better if they all followed The New Testament.

The New Testament has good principles that are universal and easy to apply. They just require will.

A small commune is, for example, a group of 20 people.

One such commune would have one leader who manages things like morality and helps those in need and motivates people to do good.

This seems like a representation of an original human society.

So I thought: Why isnt society made up from these small communes today?

Having a big government usually leads to government being disconnected from the people.

In a commune, a leader is in contact with his people in the commune. He knows their problems. He knows their needs. It is much harder for him to become corrupt.

However, today's society has mostly abandoned the communes in favor of "big and distanced government".

There are still some people who live in communes, but it just seems that most people prefer not to live in communes and not to have a leader.

In case of government being abolished, communes would form at random and there would even be a fight for power due to the lack of government.

The communes can instead co-exist with the government.

The original human society was a commune due to the reason that other forms of society were impossible.

When you have 20-30 people alone, they naturally form a commune with a leader.

When you have millions of people, they dont form communes, but rather a society with one big government. It doesnt have much in common with a commune, since the government is far away from the people and it is harder for it to provide help or guidance to the people.

So I thought: Why doesnt the government simply divide people in small communes? Government still stays government, but each commune would have a leader who guides it and helps those in need.

I asked AI for an opinion on the matter.

It said:

"Creating a society of communes where each commune has around 20 people and is led by a single leader is an ambitious goal. It requires a combination of leadership, organization, and commitment from all involved.
First and foremost, the leaders of each commune need to be chosen carefully. They must be respected and trusted by the members of their commune and have the knowledge and experience to lead them. The commune leaders must also be prepared to act as a mediator and facilitator between the members of their commune and the larger society.

Once the communes have been established, it is important to create a structure and system of rules and regulations that all commune members abide by. This should include rules on how decisions are made, how resources are distributed and used, and how disputes are handled.

The commune leaders should also ensure that all commune members have access to the resources and services they need to thrive. This may include access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and other essential services.

It is also important to foster a sense of community among the commune members. This can be done through activities such as community service projects, potlucks, and other social events. This will help to create a sense of unity and shared purpose among the commune members.

Finally, the communes should be connected to the larger society. This can be done through trade, alliances, and other forms of collaboration. This will help to ensure that the communes can access the resources they need to thrive while also contributing to the larger society.
By following these steps, it is possible to create a society of communes where each commune has around 20 people and is led by a single leader. This type of society has the potential to create a positive and sustainable future for everyone involved."

Seems like AI approves it, but considers it somewhat hard to do.

In my opinion, its not that its hard to do. Rather, people are unwilling to do it. People dont like the idea of having a leader being there and telling them what to do all the time. So it is a bit hard to figure out how to form these communes naturally in today's society and have them form in a way they  were formed at the start of humanity.

What do you think? Is it better to have lots of these small governments or just one big government? Leave your opinion about what you think is perfect society.

I used to be emotional and drive my actions and words from rage.

Now I am a bit more like I am trying to influence people to do good. However, my influencing skills arent that high.

Yeah, apparently, some options are lacking.

I wonder if its temporary until its fixed, or we are all stuck with same profile photo forever.

They are public schools, so from government or from parent's donations.

I just noticed that. I hope they fix it, but maybe they had reason for removing that option.

I think its pretty good. We will see where it leads. I like that they fixed the menu so it is easier to find things. This matters to new users a lot.

It feels nicer than the old look.

This could help new users.

New users will have it easier to find important options with this new design.

The main advantage of Tu-160 is that it can nuke a country from great distance.

Tu-160 can carry long range missiles that can hit a target at over 2000 miles distance from Tu-160.

This makes it immune to almost any AA ground defenses.

It can only be intercepted with a fighter jet, assuming they know its location and path course.

Tu-160 is designed to destroy whats left after ICBMs are all used up.

Its main purpose was to be a nuclear long range bomber armed with long range nuclear missiles.

However, they discovered that Tu-160 is also great in regular non-nuclear bombing.

Israeli and Palestinians are both crazy. They are at the point where neither of them can win. 

So yes, the two state solution would be the only option. However, they dont agree to it. Hence, the problem.

Most people seem to believe that plant gets nutrients from soil through roots.

However, what I found out was - it is not just through roots.

Plants can absorb nutrients from soil through it's stems and leaves too. If stem is in contact with soil, it will absorb nutrients from that soil. Stem of a plant has openings capable of absorbing nutrients.

This can be easily observed. I noticed that plant grows much better if you keep adding soil around its stem so that it is in contact with that added soil. In fact, burying a stem with an inch of soil around it while plant is little does so much for the plant. It grows much faster from the start.

The added soil must be loose.

The process is very simple. After a little plant grows 2 inches, add 1 inch of loose soil around its stem.

As plant grows, keep adding soil but dont bury the plant too much. At most, it should be 6 inches of soil in total after the plant is big.

Alright. Are you expecting me to pay reparations? Or the rich people to pay reparations? 

I dont have much money, despite being somewhat white.

Are you joking? You did everything to disprove RM's role of senator. You even said that we should get 9 votes on him after he already had 7 votes on him. 

RM claimed senator.

RM survived 7 votes on him. What do you suspect about it?

We already tested RM's role.

So your role is not Hitler?

My vote stays on you.

And what will you do after it turns out I am town?

I am getting lynched, but I believe the next appropriate target is Wylted, since you dont want to go after Whiteflame.

Now, that I am at 4, I might as well claim role.

I am Gretchen Whitmer from The Great Lake State of Michigan. I am the one person pie wanted most to lose in 2022. Unfortunately, I got rid of my strongest opponents with dumb signature verification rules. I can be strict here, but I cannot be strict when the election is going on. How fun. Lucky for me, abortion was a turnout machine, and it helped me win quite easily. Other things may have helped though, since I helped solve the Flint water problem in a bipartisan fashion. Good for me. Now I essentially have a blank check with the legislature being under Democratic control, so I can pass any woke thing I want. As a result, I am the 2x Purifier. Each Night, I may select a player. That player will have any lingering effects removed from them. I win with the Town

If Whiteflame is town and gets mislynched with my vote, I take full responsibility for my vote. I will not deny my guilt for one second.

I am simply trying to figure out is it "town trying to save himself" or "scum trying to save himself".

From and around of post 626 he is trying to get votes off himself by placing me and siranon in focus. He even instructed me to vote siranon, and others to vote me. He made a bunch of those posts, also claiming he is not a viable lynch when he is very viable.

I am trying to figure out what to make of Wylted's deflecting posts.

Without considering Wylted:

My vote is not on Barney. 

Between whiteflame and siranon defending whiteflame, both being suspected by RM, I would vote whiteflame.

Its the Wylted who makes the decision difficult by his claim and deflecting all over.

Currently, I would vote either Wylted either Whiteflame.

There is no excuse in saying I will take responsibility for my actions. I believe that is the opposite of an exuse.

Is a false statement. I already said that I too will claim responsibility if I happen to participate in a mislynch.

Also, I said I will need a good reason to trust RM again if he happens to lead a mislynch. Not that I wont trust him if he provides good reason. Same applies to everyone else.

Is obviously a false statement. My logic was suspecting Whiteflame. You said "BK logic is bad" without offering an explanation. That is a defense of Whiteflame. Poor defense, but it was consistent with you defending him the whole game.

Is a concerning statement. I do notice that you consistently come to defend Whiteflame in this game, providing little to no reasoning.

For now, unvote

I believe this was your second post. It just says that one player claimed for no apparent reason. Nothing in it says anything against claims in general, nor instructs players not to pursue claims, despite that 2 claims were made.

Again, I will wait to hear more opinions about your previous games.
