@neiltyson Ignorance is relative. As is power. That's not to say the people running this planet aren't in either of those positions. -
@Sawyer666
@neiltyson What the fuck do you mean running (humorously, not aggressively) because it looks like its not being RUN, but puttered -
@PNauticExpress@neiltyson Completely agree. But puttered is a very shitty form of "running" something, I believe. We can do much better. -
@Sawyer666
@neiltyson I believe refinement of language to most closely represent the reality of the situation to be a form of honesty! ;) -
@PNauticExpress@neiltyson The ONLY form of honesty!

@neiltyson If most people are ignorant and popular suffrage picks our leaders then what kind of leaders does democracy produce? -
@Baalshin@neiltyson Slightly less murderous demogogues than would otherwise come to power. -
@thinkingpoker@neiltyson in general men are not fit to rule, and those few who are, have no interest in ruling over others. -
@Baalshin@neiltyson Also it's frequently claimed they go to war less often, though I think that's a hotly debated point.
