1) Patriarchy, or at least some level of it, works much better than the so called "equality" we have now. Most women hold unassertive men in contempt and will continue to push them until they meet a guy who will push back. One of the reasons so many end up in abusive relationships nowadays is that the ones willing to push back the hardest...are usually abusive.
2) If you have been incarcerated for marijuana charges, you should receive reparations.
3) The idea that all votes should be created equal doesn't make any sense to me. It's more logical to rank people via tests of competence (say, a more comprehensive version of the ASVAB that covers more topics, allowing people to retake it if/when they feel they've become more competent in a given area) and weight their vote based on their score, with additional bonuses for things like military service and entrepreneurship. It's unlikely my own score would make it into the top percentile range, but so be it. People who are more competent than me, start businesses, have more life experience and/or serve in the armed forces deserve to have their voice heard more strongly than mine. (note: this has nothing to do with your worth as a human being. it has to do with your ability to make rational decisions about political issues)
4) You need some level of collectivism to support individualism in the first place. Unfortunately, exactly how much you need is a much more difficult question to answer.
5) You still have to obey The Constitution during a crisis. There is no "except in cases of energy". It means you ALWAYS follow the Constitution.
6) IQ is real and extremely relevant to one's life prospects and potential. No, I'm not going to share my IQ, because my individual intelligence level is not the point. The point is that neither the liberal "they just need more opportunity!", nor the conservative "they just need to work harder!" proposals are going to work. I know, I know "but if we just raised children better, they'd have higher IQs"....nope, that's not true either past a certain point. We have a large swathe of the population (somewhere between like 10-20%) who are virtually unemployable because they lack the cognitive complexity to perform even an entry level job without substantial supervision.
