The reality of rule by the intellectual class

Jun 23, 2010 22:36

Intellectuals mistake their education for collective omniscience, their omniscience for omnipotence and their omnipotence for the right to reshape society at will. - - But no matter what their justification, it comes down to the same thing, rule by force and coercion ... essentially reducing their "omnipotence" to the same level as any tribe of cavemen.

and see, this is why I've come to like Facebook, that was my status update. Used to be I would have gone to the trouble of writing 2 pages, using several metaphors and a punchline to express the same thing I've now learned to say more concisely in 420 characters. :P

For the livejournal only crowd I think I will pretty soon post a new theory I have that is a fundamental re-conception of human nature, politics and economics ... It'll require more than 420 charactgers though. ;)
