Democracy and Mood Swings

If democracy is fundamentally imperative for a good and moral society as often implied even cited erroneously, then to be consistent, boundless mood swings must be regarded as fundamentally imperative for a good and moral person.

Democracy is not inherently noble, virtuous or principled, merely an amoral method among others for determining and making decisions within groups of any sort. On its own, democracy is susceptible to societal, political swings as irrationally extreme as unprincipled thus unbridled emotions or unchecked moods, knee-jerking to events, trends, fads, raves, rants as well contrivances. Occasional susceptibility soon turns to chronic vulnerability then terminal malignity.

As such, human instincts common among all other species are politically empowered hence covetously encouraged by the unconstrained vote, furthered gravely per human reasoning tainted and skewed upon selfishly ignored and/or legislatively mitigated responsibility and risk. At this juncture, democracy have made horizonlessly wide the path of least resistance towards cozening then confiscating any and all possessions and resources of others.

Quote by W. Stanley Jevons

"The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them."

W. Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)

A third or so into his book Thinking as a Science, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993) recommends Jevons' book Elementary Lessons In Logic Deductive & Inductive, thus immediately bought it online, received it yesterday ergo the quote above.

As much as we have no power to interfere with laws of thought as Mr Jevons suggests, or perhaps no right to interfere per common human propensity to dissent against the interference (as I prefer to suggest), government insists and persists to expend resources, exert effort as well exercise compulsion so to persuade individual thought therefore manipulate collective behavior. Thusly provided in part by centrally designed pedagogy, funded in part by centrally planned economy, the persuasion and manipulation are for the sole purpose to preempt the otherwise rightfully self-interested dissent in favor of facilitating craftily imbued consent.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
