So i've realized that the only reason we have democracy instead of an absolute ruler protecting our rights is that we are afraid of our own nature, and we're afraid that if the King/Emperor/Sultan W/E will grow up insane. But does this mean that we are guaranteed a smart rational regent in a democracy? of course not anyone can see that, but i go even further than that, i claim that we get more idiots per 1000 democratic heads of state than we get per 1000 absolute rulers since the people can keep electing idiots more frequently than absolute rulers end up with the wrong genes. after all a child that was educated from birth to to pursue scientific and social progress wouldn't end up like Rick Perry(unless he was one of those rare cases. Thoughts? I know there are several logical fallacies in what i have written but i'd rather have you people (the hyper intelligent GovT hive mind) criticize them than me, we get more out of it that way.
