- walleeee 2y agoSome bits and pieces from part 2.1 ("Two questions") > [i]n a free society there is room for many strange beliefs, doctrines, institutions. > There is nothing in science or in any other ideology that makes them inherently liberating. Ideologies can deteriorate and become dogmatic religions. They start deteriorating when they become successful... their triumph is their downfall. > A democracy is an assembly of mature people and not a collection of sheep guided by a small clique of know-it-alls. > The reasons were explained by Mill in his immortal essay On Liberty. It is not possible to improve upon his arguments.
