FA, do you have no confidence in your own thoughts and actions that you need leaders to organise for you?  People with intelligence can, like now, get up and argue their points, giving you the benefits of elite knowledge, yet the people still decide in the end.  And these people would at least be fairly intelligent anyway, because they wouldn't be held back education-wise due to funding.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

You cannot do everything by yourself, you are not an expert in everymatter under the sun, sometimes you are better off obeying people who know more in a situation that you have no experience in.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


You should never obey anyone, you listen to their arguments and agree with them, and go along with them while they are still sticking to their original argument. All the while, you must re-evaluate over and over to ensure they, and thus you , are still sticking to a correct course.

I'm sure the people in the Communist Party of China are far more intelligent than the average Chinese person, but I sure as hell wouldn't trust them to be good leaders and to obey them. The same goes for everyone.

However, in terms of war I would agree with you. If my survival is threatened I will submit to people I believe to be better, because there is no time to sit and think things over. But in usual life you do have that luxury.
