The ultimate problem is that people feel more than think. They do what feels good rather than what is right, and those who can resist and overcome this impulse are too few in number to ever become the basis of a society.

So we are doomed to base society off of the needs of the stupid, lazy, weak, and resentful, because there are far too many of them and not enough of us.

This is why wise men fucked off to live in the mountains by the way.
