Democracy Is An Exercise In Humility
Democracy basically is about saying maybe you don't know. A dictator is certain, wrong but certain. A democratically elected leader is constantly trying to figure it out.
The people collectively can be the only source of earthly power, if you believe in God. Since no one knows for sure, everyone has to be taken into account to maximize the chances of knowing.
But academics and great artists don't work that way. They find their individual paths to truth, or through small group collaboration, and they stick to the basic facts, and the thought that makes sense of the facts. The scientific and the artistic processes are major celebrations of humanity, as human rights.
The academic, the artistic, the electoral, the spiritual, the entrepreneurial all working in tandem seeking utmost harmony possible through reaching out to God will bring the best possible outcomes for peace and prosperity for humanity on earth.
