Technology and vast populations require experts to govern us. Experts in government are lawyers, who study, write, legislate, and interpret law. We can choose only from factions among the lawyers, which is why Democrats innovate (New Deal, New Frontier, Great Society, Obamacare) and Republican conserve (never repeal any innovation).

The expert politicians require expert managers to elaborate the laws and oversee the management of the subjects. These experts are bureaucrats. They require large, expensive, enduring bureaucracies. In turn they require expert concerned scientists.

When the US was transitioning from an agrarian culture to a complex industrialized culture in the early 19th century, the US Senators were experts appointed by state legislatures to perform the function of the concerned scientist-regulator. The difference was that the old-time Senator was accountable to the state governments while the concerned scientist-regulator is anonymous and unaccountable. Just the way the progressives in the ruling Cathedral likes it. The Prog amendments in the early 20th century laid the foundation for the establishment of the Cathedral in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

I’d say you’re part of the problem.

It is the voters who are responsible.

I don’t wonder by Obama and his clique think, do and speak evil, I wonder why people vote for it, cheer for it, and submit to it.

Because they wish to live in truth.

These expert scientists have abandoned the search for knowledge instead to search for problems which need policy solutions.

Do you really imagine the vast technological networks in computers, water, electricity, petroleum, and trade could function without lawyers, bureaucrats and concerned scientists?

Modern technocracy cannot function without this political system, which, in terms of the past (new terms will be invented) can best be described as fascism.

Freedom is an illusion, best sustained by an ideology of self-development and self-indulgence: that is, the freedom to be a promiscuous body-builder. Any other kind of freedom is simply sabotage and, as the Soviets put it, wrecking.

Socialism more closely matches human nature than liberty. It supplies the hierarchy from Big Man to Little People; it supplies popular social justice in its persecution of racists, sexists, homophobes; it supplies the kind of liberty people really want: freedom from those old oppressive moral codes of Judaism and Christianity.
