Government
LIARS! Vol. 2 – Escape to Insanity presents the concept that the form of democracy modern western society has chosen is a failure and cannot be “fixed”. It is better than authoritarianism and rule by royalty, but not by much. To achieve the real goals of a true democracy, human society needs to move to another form of democracy. This section of the website summarizes some of the concepts behind this theory and expands the discussion of that subject. The discussion has been subdivided into the following parts:
• The Freedom Myth: explains that the universal belief that humans can have broad freedoms is only a myth in the face of modern complexity and high density populations
• Constitution – Freedom of Religion: explains that freedom of religion is impossible and how shallowness of law propagates this belief
• Constitution – Bill of Rights: explains that most freedoms promised by modern constitutions are theoretically impossible and how shallowness of law propagates these beliefs
• Tyranny of the Majority: a major flaw in the concept of democracy due to the practice of “majority voting”.
• Failure of Capitalism and Democracy
• The problem of citizen inaction
• Example of incompetence – The conquering of Scurvy
