Those who can make you believe absurdities
can make you commit atrocities.

I have just finished a section of a huge book on Philosophy about Voltaire and thoght I would encourage the rest of you to check this guy out, I dont agree with it all, but like many other Philosophers, I have gained some insight from him.

Psilo

I think the real problem is the guillibility of people. That's pretty self explanatory and I am sure you would agree. I think then that we need to get rid of all these dumb people.

Wait hear me out. Wouldn't the world be a better place if there weren't these easy believers? There would be no war, no disease, and no poverty!!!

That is why I suggest we move all guillible people to work camps. You're saying to yourself, "Ed, that's a lot of trouble, who's going to oversee this?" Me, of course!!! I will design a 15 point rigorous inspection test for guilibility. Anyone who fails will be removed from society! Put me in to power and I can make this happen.

Who's with me?
