Is Catholicism straussian? What if the pope gets infected and starts believing himself? Is it straussian if there are hermetic layers and everyone who is not stupid discovers the inner ones?

Dunno enough about Catholicism but oks it from the outside. Hermetic... depends on the relationship to political power no?

Is there a term for someone who believes lying to people is good for their own good, because although people are intelligent and rational, their rationality puts them in conflict with each other and they would never knowingly unite for a common cause?

I still catch myself thinking about Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street speeches where she talks about wanting open trade and open borders in the Western Hemisphere and what it means to agree with her and watch her hide that from the public as a “private position”
