Quote of the Day: 14 November 2025

“The majority of the human race cannot or will not see beyond their own desires for more wealth, more pleasure, more status, and less work. They must be restrained even by the most libertarian of civilizations, because without that restraint, there is no civilization, and without civilization, no liberty.” -Devon Eriksen

[Selfishness is part of human nature. It would be foolish to expect most of the population to ignore that pull and vote in such a way that will result in the most good for the most people. We have done that anyway with universal suffrage. I don't know how best to determine who should be eligible to vote, but I do know that what we are doing now is not working well.]
