Sage Rabelais Soul

Crazy Wisdom for a crazy world.
Swim easy in the deep. Insist on joy in spite of everything.
Positive, pretty, deep ... sometimes.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

—

More people more wretched in more places than ever before. Ask them whether the spread of democracy is such a good idea.  For that matter, ask yourself.  Problem is, what to replace it with other than a dictatorship by oneself?  What will the neighbours say?
