Default Re: My \"Political Philosophy\"

[ QUOTE ]
This isn't a political philosophy and as everyone knows your thoughts most closely resemble hedonism. I am guessing, based on some of your posts, you really have a distaste for most philosophy but I'm not really sure why? Is it because there often isn't a right answer? A lot of mathematical types have trouble excepting vagueness in answers.


As far as you being an ACist that isn't very likely to happen since you are such an advocate of intelligence. You value intelligent persons opinions far to much to be an ACist. And because of that value I believe you'd prefer a government run by the intelligent over no government. A close political philosophy to yours might be eliteism. Which is the anti pluralism.

Pluralism
The political theory of pluralism holds that political power in society should not lie with the electorate but be distributed between a wide number of groups.

I'm saying that you'd be quite pleased if politically only the brightest had a say, minimally the most say. As they are more likely to get it right, in your opinion.

Apologizing in advance for any mischaracterisaztion.

Then maybe Sklansky can learn a thing or two from Greenstein:
