Today I have reached a life altering conclusion. It was one of those moments that only come along once in a very long while. One of those moments you can ‘t make, they just happen. Today, I have realized that democracy is no more than the right of less than intelligent people to have an opinion and be heard.
You see the majority of people in this world have a less than even average intelligence. Intelligence alone of course doesn’t make a person wise or smart. Experience, discipline, knowledge and many other factors contribute to the level of an individual’s intelligence. However, the majority of people are too lazy to learn more than is needed, know more than is practical and understand more than is wanted. So most people – even after certain differentiating factors -are of average intelligence. Logical actually as this is how “average intelligence” is classified.
Now see, this worries me. As you may remember, democracy is based on majority thinking. And since I have just concluded that the majority of people is not very smart, it worries me that they -in a democracy- rule the world.
Therefore I suggest we eliminate democracy and instead introduce a scientific IQ/EQ based form of communism. Where the basic goal in any society would be: the well being of the collective based on scientific descisionmaking. Thus when a descision is made a group of scientists confer and calculate the best course of action. The people as a whole do not get to vote who they like best (politics shouldn’t even be about that), they just get to do what is best for everyone. So for instance in the event of overpopulation, people will have to be eliminated. This would not be a very popular decision in a democracy and probably not tolerated. In my communist regime it would be and thus my society would be much more efficient.
Democracy is a slow decision maker in this dynamic world we live in and thus inefficient.
I will get more into this another time.
