Mutual Guarantee vs. Democracy
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
This article and the poll are a “beautiful” example of so-called “academics” who live in their ivory towers, looking down on everyone, conducting “observations,” totally disconnected from actual reality.
These are the people who follow the most dangerous “religion,” the blind worship of the inherently subjective, egocentric, and self-justifying human intellect.
These academics are totally convinced of their own infallibility, and that they can clearly discern “right from wrong.”
The whole idea of “perfect democracy” is baseless. There is not one country or nation that is democratic.
There is simply no ideology, political, or governing system that could effectively govern human societies as long as we still blindly and instinctively follow our inherent and 100% self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and exploitative human nature.
Before we try to find such a social system and system of governance, we need to recognize our inherently destructive and self-destructive nature and also generate the willingness to consciously and methodically change and further develop ourselves through the appropriate, purposeful, and practical “educational method.”
This is the method the Jewish people possess; this is the method the First Nation of Israel was built upon.
This is the method that facilitates the building of a special unity and mutual guarantee above and despite the inherent human nature.
Only a society that behaves according to mutual guarantee can be successful and sustainable.
