so agree and you have expanded upon it

The mob is not inherently reflective of majority opinion, of course..



Yes.. that is the problem with vigilantes.. they are not really the messengers of true public opinion... sounds like the Trucker Convoy up here :) Freedom fighters no..

That's why "fake news" is (only recently) become an item of popular awareness...

Not a new issue .. but in the new instant world as opposed to months between updates .. it becomes overwhelming for many

[Making better decisions] should apply rigor in processes to address all of that... wrt politicos.. seems like an oxymoron :).. politics is far too in the moment.. and that is the largest flaw in any democracy ... it's the votes stupid LOL (Not calling you stupid :) just borrowing a popular phrase's wrt dysfunctionality of democracy ... Seems this is what Xi is saying ... not on board there either..

Again to Quote Heinlein



Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.

Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides?

Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure good government; it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare--most people want to run things but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the backseat-driver syndrome.
