The pattern of monarchies and similar systems has a message of value for all
political forms. My memories assure me that governments of any kind could
profit from this message. Governments can be useful to the governed only so
long as inherent tendencies toward tyranny are restrained. Monarchies have
some good features beyond their star qualities. They can reduce the size and
parasitic nature of the management bureaucracy. They can make speedy decisions
when necessary. They fit an ancient human demand for a parental (tribal/feudal)
hierarchy where every person knows his place. It is valuable to know your
place, even if that place is temporary. It is galling to be held in place
against your will. This is why I teach about tyranny in the best possible way
by example. Even though you read these words after a passage of eons, my
tyranny will not be forgotten. My Golden Path assures this. Knowing my message,
I expect you to be exceedingly careful about the powers you delegate to any
government.
