I know you are being facetious here, but in the internet age, I think this is an increasingly compelling question.
- jschwartzi 11y agoWhat you're suggesting could be the start of anarchy, which is the absence of rulers but not necessarily of rules. If it were possible for anyone to gather evidence of a violation of a rule, then why have a specialist class? In the same vein, if it were possible to gain consent for a rule without a specialist class, then why have a government? The only problem with the elimination of the specialists is that we then must take over their responsibility to act justly. I often wonder if our society is capable of that yet.
