Democracy is the theory that we should let the lowest fucking common denominator, the mass majority of morons, decide on what's best for the nation

The problem is, ALL humans are fallible. All knowledge is theory laden, and all theories are prone to error. No one has the answers and no one can be the judge of what is best for us all (apart from antinatalism 😉). Elitism is a fundamentally flawed world view.

There is zero evidence of an ‘elite’ class of humans who are able to accurately predict and navigate socioeconomic landscape to produce an outcome that is significantly better than a democratically established landscape (free markets, democracy).
