Necessary Illusions

“Rationality belongs to the cool observer but because of the stupidity of the average man, he follows not reason but faith. This naive faith requires necessary illusion and emotionally potent over-simplifications, which are provided by the myth maker to keep the ordinary person on course. It’s not the case as the naive might think that indoctrination is inconsistent with democracy. Rather, as this whole line of thinkers observers, it’s the essence of democracy.”
