What I'm gathering is that there isn't a perfect system as is the case with any of the human philosophical models, everything needs to integrate the good aspects of everything else for a suitable outcome, although a perfect outcome is always a pipe dream. This is almost like not knowing anything at all at the beginner level of a gamer and then proceeding to level 100 and doing really well in the game only to reach a stagnation point where you ultimately realize that the game can only go so far in giving you rewards beyond which no amount of expertise in the game can bring you anything special, because you have exhausted the scope of the system, almost all models are drained at some point and human progress only depends on how much dedication goes into integrating the best aspects of every model to achieve the best outcome consistently at that point in time. Every model has a specific growth curve and you have to exploit the model for that growth curve beyond which you have to abandon it or integrate other models for temporary growth. -

Why Socialism fails? Why socialism is not effective? What are the problems with Socialism? The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” This famous line by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher reminds us that while government handouts may sound good, someone still has to foot the bill. ...... Cons of socialism Lack of incentives. ... Government failure. ... Welfare state can cause disincentives. ... Powerful unions can cause labour market antagonism. ... Rationing of health care. ... Difficult to remove subsidies/government benefits. ....... Over the past hundred years, there have been more than two dozen attempts to build a socialist society. It has been tried in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Albania, Poland, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Hungary, China, East Germany, Cuba, Tanzania, Laos, South Yemen, Somalia, the Congo, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mozambique, Angola, Nicaragua and Venezuela, among others—not counting the very short-lived ones. All of these attempts have ended in varying degrees of failure ...... -

Asked chat gpt about Socialism. Socialism is a political and economic ideology that seeks to create a more equal and just society by promoting the collective ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of goods and services. The ultimate goal of socialism is to eliminate social classes and create a classless society in which all members of the community work together to meet the needs of everyone. Socialist economies are typically characterized by the public ownership of the means of production, which may take the form of state ownership or worker ownership through cooperatives. In a socialist economy, the government plays a central role in planning and directing economic activity, and wealth is distributed more equally among the population. There are many different variations of socialism, ranging from democratic socialism, which combines elements of socialism and democracy, to more authoritarian forms of socialism in which the government has greater control over the economy and individual freedoms may be restricted. -

Shrines to Hathor were common throughout Egypt, and she was one of the gods worshiped at Heliopolis. Her main temple was at Dandarah (Dendera). The most important of the temple’s many festivals was the celebration of Hathor’s birth, which took place on the advent of the new year. The festival was an occasion for unrestrained reveling in honor of the goddess of merriment. The Greeks identified Hathor with their goddess Aphrodite.

In the underworld, known as Duat, Hathor provided spiritual nourishment to the souls of the dead. Although her nurturing qualities likened her to Isis and other mother goddesses, she also represented destruction. According to one myth, the sun god Re, in his old age, decided to punish humankind’s disobedience and designated Hathor a scourge. The goddess began slaughtering so fervently that Re repented somewhat and decided that not all humankind should be punished. The other gods inundated the fields with an intoxicating drink dyed with red ochre. Hathor drank the beer, thinking it was blood, and became so intoxicated that she ceased her task.

The predynastic worship of cows may have given rise to the figure of Hathor, one of the oldest known deities of Egypt. Hathor’s name means “house of Horus,” referring to a myth in which Hathor, as a cow, stood on the earth so that her four legs became pillars holding up the sky while her belly formed the firmament. Horus, the sky god, would enter her mouth every evening in the form of a hawk and emerge reborn each morning. Because of this myth, Hathor was sometimes considered the mother of Horus. Later on, Hathor was regarded as the wife of Horus. Their son Harsomtus, also called Ihy or Ahy, was worshiped during the Ptolemaic period as a god of music. Both Hathor and her son were often represented holding a sistrum, a rattlelike instrument believed to repel evil spirits.

In ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, Hathor (also spelled Athor) was the goddess of love, fertility, beauty, music, and mirth. She was represented either as a cow or as a woman with cow’s horns with the solar disk nested between them.

After the rulers of Thebes rebelled against a dynasty of foreign rulers known as the Hyksos and reestablished native Egyptian rule throughout Egypt, Amon received credit for their victory. In a form merged with the sun god Re, he became the most powerful deity in Egypt, a position he retained for most of the New Kingdom.

AmonRichard Maschmeyer—Design Pics/Getty Images Before rising to national importance in the New Kingdom (c. 1539–1292 BCE), the god Amon was worshipped locally in the southern city of Thebes. Amon was a god of the air, and the name probably means the “Hidden One.” He was usually represented as a man wearing a crown with two vertical plumes. His animal symbols were the ram and the goose.

Thoth, the god of writing and wisdom, could be depicted in the form of a baboon or a sacred ibis or as a man with the head of an ibis. He was believed to have invented language and the hieroglyphic script and to serve as a scribe and adviser for the gods. As the god of wisdom, Thoth was said to possess knowledge of magic and secrets unavailable to the other gods.

Egypt had one of the largest and most complex pantheons of gods of any civilization in the ancient world. Over the course of Egyptian history hundreds of gods and goddesses were worshipped. The characteristics of individual gods could be hard to pin down.
