RE: Oprah 2020 Is Not the Answer
I am not to sure I believe in the whole, nobody for president mentality.
A lot of people are dumb. They don't pay attention to the world around them. They just live THEIR lives and don't care at all to what the actual truth is around them. Not to mention the cognitive dissonance that everybody deals with.
Who would choose new laws then? The cognitive dissonant Americans that have no idea what they actually want because they can't help but trust idiota, on both sides, instead of making their own decisions?
I basically fear the ignorance of people.
Most of the people you're referring to were carefully groomed to be ignorant, apathetic, and submissive to authority, by the system itself, because without people like that the system cannot survive, much less grow as it has been for centuries.
Stop letting government shape the minds of children, and watch how quickly the generations get smarter and more mindful.
I have recently been of the opinion that perhaps teaching philosophy in school could be a benefit to having people open their minds and be more accepting of different opinions.
I think it is ridiculous that it is currently not taught. Philosophy is a wonderful tool for an individual to read, experience, and grow to form their own opinions of the world around them.
Going to this point, I think we would have to build the new generation first before changing the way the system votes. (If that even makes sense.) :P
