Medieval peasants had it right. They had no illusions about "democracy", they only prayed for an occasional sane ruler. And there were occasional sane rulers in a hereditary system. Genes lead to variety. A "democracy:" guarantees that the most evil and wicked ruler will always take the top spot.

The end result of complex strategies denying what is true is addiction, and mental illness. A society that faces truth head on, and grapples with it will be healthy.
