The modern political formula frames the world as a complex series of interconnected scientific disciplines that, if managed with a high degree of proficiency, can yield incredible material abundance and miraculous technological innovations. Competency is the key to utopia. Those who are able to obtain prestigious credentials gain the right to rule due to their unparalleled ability to manage complex systems.

Ruling class?!? I think that is the problem right there. The Peter Principle is more alive in the government in general and elected officials in particular. In general, people know how to live their own lives vastly better than some out touch member of "the ruling class".
ReplyDeleteSomeone, maybe Derb, said that we are heading for a time when there is no one to run and repair the machinery created by the Ice People.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the belly of the beast, competency is being reduced every year by DIE. Study Brazil, and aspire to be in the ruling caste. It's where we're heading.
