Only geniuses are suited to rule
    #15091108 -

I have been fixing on my article. What do you think?

"In democracies the most popular individuals are elected to rule, but not necessarily the people with most insight. Celebrities are more popular than professors today, but professors usually have much more insight. Direct democracies are however well synchronized with the general population, and this prevents friction between the government and the general population. Direct democracies might therefore be ideal systems for societies where everybody has a high level of education and understanding. If however the general population in a direct democracy doesn't have a sufficiently high level of understanding they will vote for ill-founded short-term policies rather than for well-informed long-term policies. The majority of the population in the world today unfortunately have a very narrow view of the world. Our planet is also facing an ecological collapse soon unless we cease our destructive intrusion in the biosphere. The importance of preventing a global ecological collapse surpasses by far the importance of exclusive human affairs. In a long-term perspective we probably also depend upon a harmonious global ecosystem for the survival of our species. The damage humanity is doing to the global ecosystem is however difficult to comprehend for the general population that mostly is preoccupied with the trivial problems of daily life. If we however continue to vote for ill-founded short-term policies an ecological collapse is imminent. Then the question is not if there is going to be an ecological collapse or not, but rather how many years we have left before it happens. If the world population and world economy continues to grow exponentially it is probably going to happen quite soon.

A meritocracy is a system where people with merit rule. In such a system professors with insight would be given positions in the government, rather than popular celebrities that democracies tend to favor. The definition of merit might be somewhat ambiguous, but intelligence, scientific knowledge, and historical knowledge are easily measurable qualities that people in the government definitively should have. Unfortunately the policies of a meritocracy aren't necessarily well in tune with the opinions of the general population. Being in tune with stupidity and ignorance is however not necessarily a good thing. The majority of the population in third world countries will never support strict birth control policies, nor will the general population in first world countries ever accept a decrease in economic wealth. But overpopulation in the third world and overconsumption in first world countries are the two issues which are causing most damage to the global ecosystem of our planet. In order to save the global ecosystem from overpopulation and overconsumption we must enforce unpopular laws which would be difficult to get approved in direct democracies where the majority of the population rules. The only system that can save our planet is a meritocracy where people must pass science, history and intelligence tests before they are allowed to work in the government. Only then we can ensure that the people working in the government are sufficiently aware of the environmental problems we facing to prevent a global ecological collapse."

The collective genius of the population elects all leaders regardless of how "genius" that collective genius is.

If our collective genius causes us to elect idiots, what can I say about that that isn't fundamentally a statement about my own genius?

To get new-agey, we must raise our vibration. Onto the plane of knowledge.

"Everything there is, and all that there is, is a Pattern of unspeakable proportion. The Pattern contains everything that is, completely fixed in succession, all the minimal particles interconnected in every way that is. Every way that is is not every conceivable way, because not everything that can be conceived is manifest in the pattern."

"THE Human, you, is a miniscule but essential part of that pattern. In it lies complete fulfillment. It will never become something it is not, but it will never need to be anything else." - Wiccan_Seeker

"If boring drudgery was the way of the universe, everything would have killed itself long ago." - Spacerific
