The IQ of a mob is lower than the IQ of the dumbest member.
This is the main problem with Democracy.
Democracy is literally Mob Rule.
The problems that the world faces today are complex.
Comprehending them requires a person to have a basic understanding of science, economics, history, and humanism.
Democracy means that the people who decide our actions to approach and tackle these problems are in fact the least qualified to lead our efforts.
I'm sorry, I don't have an alternative form of government to advocate in preference to Democracy.
All I do know, is that Democracy dooms us to be collectively no smarter than Lemmings. In that sense, Democracy is no better than any other form of rulership in its ability and probability that we might avoid a similar fate.
@soundwave finally! I could smells this miles away with all your long form nonsense, but never so clearly... If you take group of people the majority of which knows basic arithmetic, and ask them to divide a couple of 3-4 digit numbers, that very majority will give you the correct answer, regardless of any one of them who wouldn't. But sure millions if not billions of people spread across continents is a dumb a mob led by instinct alone.
