“Ideologies are substitutes for true knowledge, and ideologues are always dangerous when they come to power, because a simple-minded I-know-it-all approach is no match for the complexity of existence.” Jordon Peterson
People are simply not smart enough in mass to comprehend the complexities of life, let alone anyone person on the planet.
Therefore, adopting ideologies and demagoguery is either a conscience or unconscious admission that we need answers from those that purport to have them because we know that we are incapable of solutions.
This is why man continues to demand a "king" or "Shepherd", and why those that we choose to govern over us continually let us down, however,, we never learn from it.
Then again, perhaps it is more comforting believing the lie than the alternative which is realizing man is too deficient to govern his fellow man adequately for any length of time.
Oh well, on to the next utopia.
What is your utopia?
