RE: Uncle Sam, Switched at Birth? Have Americans Traded "Choice" for Liberty?
Giving us less choices works better. Like in 5 star restaurants, the menus fit on one side of paper, it helps eliminate indecision and makes the buying process simpler for the restaurant. We'd like to think we want a lot of choices but we're really just going to buy the grouper w/roasted rosemary potatoes again.
Or in our electoral process. They like to eliminate all possible rogue candidates through a primary process. Which is really about making sure the elite's guy and a Nato friendly, globalist friendly, Israel friendly person gets in. And with the choices, we really don't want to have to decide between 8 people. We want clear cut choices. Good guy/gal vs bad guy/gal. Easier decision. (This is why I believe all of these comic book flicks are popular now, dumbed down good/bad binary simpleton stories for "adults").
It's a catch-22. Most people honestly do not posses the critical thinking skills to handle choice let alone actual open-ended freedom @markmorrisjr.
Those kinds of critical thinking skills, like the hunting skills of a domestic dog, can only be developed in the "wild" I think we'd do just fine.
