A Simple Flaw with Democracy
It is now ( Still ) being widely suggested that
The Issue of Gay Marriage should be put to A Democratic Vote & allow The
People to Choose The Direction of Our Society, of Western Civilization, for Now
& for The Next 2,000
years.
Germany & Adolf Hitler might very well have
avoided World War Two, The Destruction of Many Cities throughout Europe &
his own Humiliating Defeat & A Permanent Scar Burnt into The Butt Cheeks of
Every Contemporary German, By Establishing A Hall Mark Democracy led by a Philosopher
King ( A. Hitler ), Then put many of his Utopian Issues to a Democratic Vote,
Such as The Ostracization & Elimination of The Jews, Gypsies & Selected
Foreigners. The Fervent Beliefs & Convictions of Many Germans that had
stood bewitched by The Speeches of Hitler would easily be swayed to A Vote
that, perhaps, years later; We might wonder— ‘How could they have been So Potato Headed ?’
This Approach would undoubtedly have Not
resulted in Foreign Intervention, Given how many Atrocities were required to
provoke France & England to Eventually Enter The War, & Even More
Atrocities before America finally intervened.
Germany & Much of Europe ( Maybe they would
have followed suit ( ? ) ) would now be free of Jews & Other UnDesirables,
Germany would have Established it’s Vegetarian Utopian & The World would
have a very different Flavor.

Does Democracy work?
Should every Social Issue be put to A Vote of
The Majority?
- -
Should The South have been allowed to Vote for
Slavery?
Should America have been allowed to Vote for The
Simple Human Rights of Blacks & Women?
Should we be allowed to Elect Presidents by A
Simple Majority Vote, Even if they weren’t Rigged ?
- -
What is The Alternative ?
- -
Should we Compel Only The Smartest Citizens to
Decide these Issues, & Insist on an Overwhelming Majority ( 80% ) to Choose One Position
over another.
For Those Issues that Can’t be Decided by such a
SuperDuper Majority, We; As a Society must Concede that such Contentions are
Merely Civic Flavors, & Allow Individual Communities to Determine by a
Local SuperDuper Majority of their Local Genius’ to Choose how they will Live,
Even if their Neighbors Vehemently Oppose their Lifestyle(s.
- -
Most People allow that there are many Issues
which can only be seen as Choices of Taste or Predilections Set by Their
Upbringing; But Many other Questions Should be Answered with Absolute Certainty
by The Application of Science, Logic or An Agreement based on Fundimental
Axioms & Universal Taboos—
But it is my Observation that many very smart people
frequently & Emphatically Disagree about these very Issues that The
Untutored Featherless Parakeet believes to be InArguable. They may even concede
that they personally don’t know what The Correct Answer is for (x, But that (x
does have an Absolutely Irrefutable Solution.
- -
This is not true.
- -
It may well be that there is a severe problem
with What Humans call ‘Thinking’.
Logic itself is merely A Method of Rationalizing
Predisposed Opinions.
Mathematical Proofs are No Different, with The
Possible Exception of The Very Simplest
Rhubarbs, & even in those cases; The Item is more often than not;
Elementally Obvious, & A Simple Flawed Argument is Painted over it. This
Success is then Extended to More Complex Principles, often with continued
success, which encourages them to continue using these fallacious utensils that
eventually leads them to ‘Prove’ The Most Ridiculous Adages that lead many
Mathematicians & Physicists to really, really, Really Believe are true.
- -
Smart People can’t be trusted with ‘Important’
Issues any more than The Damp Masses Can.
- -
The Only Really Functional ( Tacit/Pragmatic )
Solution; Is to Abolish Federal or National Rules & Laws, & Allow every
Little Community to Pick Essentially a Randomly Chosen Set of Social Edicts;
And allow them all to Run their Course, Leading some to Disastrous Consequences
& Others to Surprising Success.
Historians may try to show us which formulas
lead to success & which to inevitable failure— But like good Science, many of these
Experiments should be repeated again & again with tiny variations, Just to
be sure.
