Stupid Democracy

As long as smart people are always outnumbered by stupid people, representative democracy will always suck… that’s why in every so called democratic nation the government sucks big time. It’s not even a democracy but a “Dictatorship of the Idiots”, and with such idiotic management to economy, environment and social affairs every democratic nation is doomed. Democracy is all about quantity not quality, the most stupid citizen has the same amount of political power as the most brilliant scientist!

And the smart informed people will always be a minority, a significant elite… so designing a system that celebrates quantity rather than quality is just as stupid as the majority of people. The government has to be a monopoly to the best, the brightest, the most informed, the most energetic and the most caring people… a system designed to achieve that in the most effective way. Call it Technocracy, call it Meritocracy, call it Scientocracy, call it whatever you want… the name doesn’t matter as long as you have got your best minds and your best talents on the battle front.

Normal stupid ignorant people shall never ever interfere with the policies or the politicians or how the government works, they don’t even care or have the ability to learn about economy or sociology or ecology… they are all complicated and annoying topics to their little childish minds. These people don’t want to change anything (like at all), because they think they are perfect and that everything is already perfect… and every change would only make things worse! Why is that?! Because they are idiots who can’t handle anything or manage anything, they don’t trust their own limited incapable minds… and they think that all minds are like their minds.

That’s why they call themselves conservatives (just don’t change anything, just stay still!) and religious (nature is sacred and no one shall mess with it but god you mad scientists!) dreaming about some almighty dude who controls everything just by command, just by wishing (how lazy god is?!)… without working, without making mistakes and even without thinking (especially). These lazy stupid egoistic individuals are victims to their genetic code and are limited by their natural capabilities, they have to act like that… they can’t help it.

But that doesn’t mean they shall possess massive political powers to control the whole society and fuck it up… it’s like giving a chimpanzee a machine gun to play with! And no one shall ask an idiot to be smarter, that’s just an insult to them or a big burden… it’s just like trying to convince a cat to become more doggish! If you can’t alter their genetic code or give them a drug to become smarter just leave them alone, and don’t overwhelm them with too much data… they would become confused, stubborn and defensive.

People are not equally smart, there is a hierarchy in here… just like there are hierarchies in health, lifting power, running speed, hearing, seeing, boxing and every aspect of the human existence. And any management in the world supposed to be smart and scientific, handled by the most brilliant minds in the room. It doesn’t matter if they are too young or too old, men or women or else, black or white or yellow or red or else, humans or computers or else… if they got it they shall have it.

Managing a department or a government is not about your ego or my ego, it’s not an egoistic thing about “who is the boss?!” or “who is the big man?!” or “Who is the strongest man on earth?!”… That’s incredibly stupid. A government is a lot of responsibility and requires a lot of knowledge and a lot of talents, it’s the mind of the society and that mind supposed to be smart and capable. But when you give idiots political power you just open the door for propaganda, idiotic media, mass manipulation and mass delusions.

You are not achieving anything except spreading political lies everywhere… every politician will try to steal votes from the idiots. There can never be a democracy unless all people are equally smart and equally informed, and if that happened just one vote of one random citizen will represent the whole society! That’s why Democracy is fundamentally and theoretically a stupid fake system… as much as practically and by experience.

At some point the one has to discover that Democracy is not that good, worshiping the collective silliness and the collective fears can never lead to good results… it’s actually an ochlocracy or mobocracy or an idiocracy to be fair. Even with the best educated and the most informed and sophisticated population, where religious and superstitious nonsense are minimized; the voters there have to be divided into two or three groups making fan clubs or supporters’ groups they call “parties”, voting for these parties in every election… with the same attitude of football teams.

No one is even wondering; why the hell the citizens vote for the politicians not the policies?! Why the subject not the object?! Why should I care and why should anyone care about the gender or the religion or the color or the birth-land or even the party of the politician as long as this random politician (we don’t know whom) is enforcing the policies that people voted for? Why the politician not the policy?!

Because people are that subjective and shallow to choose a politician according to the religion or the race or the gender instead of the policies they offer. And if you care about the policies and their implications instead of the faces or the names of some random people you know nothing about, you can watch the policies you have chosen some politician to practice fading away between the houses, the bureaucracy, the lying of the media and the noise of the crowd.

Democratic politics is always a sport to people, a show business with a lot of speeches and a lot lying. We all like to think that we have got the power, and we can control everything… but in the matter of fact we can’t and maybe we shall not either. But these politicians are always lying about how they are serving the people and how people are in control, but that’s just mean… most people can’t handle their own houses without an assistant from a plumber! No we are not in control and most people have already too much problems and challenges of their own, so governing doesn’t supposed to be depending on the stock market or the vote market or the herd psychology.

Governing is a matter of cybernetics; it requires science, talent and experience… a team work instead of an egoistic shallow competition or a stupid carnival (circus actually) in the media. Governors are just like doctors, engineers, plumbers, lawyers and every other profession… it’s a specialty and technicality. A governor supposed to be qualified and to has a license in order to practice governing, the fresh graduate has to govern little institutions and if he or she is doing well it can get promoted to govern bigger institutions. A system of qualities and results, not popularity, fame and deception; doctors don’t become doctors by popularity contests but by education, qualification, testing and practicing. And that’s the “Scientific Meritocracy” that would definitely work better instead of the mighty holy stupid democracy.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of the individual ignorance.
(H.L. Mencken)

A Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%.
(Thomas Jefferson)

The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
(Winston Churchill)

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
(Isaac Asimov)
