This assumes people are stupid and have no intelligence of their own and needs to be told what they should be doing.

- onion2k 2y agoNot quite. It assumes that some people don't verify what they're told, and so follow what people in authority tell them. That means people in authority have a responsibility not to abuse their authority. If everyone was rational and didn't do what they were told, choosing to verify everything and only follow what was appropriate, then the entire marketing, ad, government, legal, prison, etc industries would all collapse because they wouldn't be necessary any more. It's fairly obvious that there are people who follow dangerous, stupid advice.
- hshshshsvsv 2y agoOkay. That's fair.
