We are talking about knowledge, the knowledge how to regulate public life. There is no way to accept anything, in terms of information, from someone who knows nothing.
- coldtea 9y ago>We are talking about knowledge, the knowledge how to regulate public life. There is no "knowledge to regulate" that has been imparted to some. The most educated "sages" have historically made the same (and worse) BS mistakes and disastrous policies as the ordinary citizen. And even if it was, it's not their call to impart it to the rest of the people. Those who get the effects of a regulation should have a say on the design of the regulation. >There is no way to accept anything, in terms of information, from someone who knows nothing. There is a way. It's called democracy (even more so in direct than in modern "representative" diluted democracy, but still). What there should not be a way of is for anybody, even if they know nothing, to accept the will of some other other them, without having their equal share in influencing what will happen. Those people would be slaves.
