The burden of wisdom/enlightenment, being good is too hard!

RE: The burden of wisdom/enlightenment, being good is too hard!
Brian, mob rule without wisdom, can be oppressive. Yet with wisdom, it can possible be not. But republics are oppressive and manipulative for certain. Even if all their laws were out of wisdom and just, it would still be oppressive in that, we are negated our rights from ruling.

All this balance of power talk is really just a mess and way of compromise to oppression and blind trust.

You can count me out of the social contract. When did we all gather and agree upon it? We were just told we agree upon it and are under some social contract.

What a joke. We are a bunch of drones, everyone thinking they are free.
