"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato
Overall, I completely agree with the article. In a society based on individualism there necessitates a democracy where all are heard equally. Unfortunately, however, when the majority becomes uniformed as to the current situation - either by choice or by coercion - the democracy fails, and becomes stagnant, or in some cases, changes to become an oligarchy. The description of the levels of 'uninformed-ness' is intriguing and something I've never took serious time to think about, but they make sense.
Thanks for the article, good read.
