Tao Stoic 163

"Master, in your example of the experiment with regard to crime, [130], could it not be a six-year old kid, that you gave the 'unknown thing'?"

"Certainly not. It is the difference between the governing of a grown-up, grocer, and a kid. Read 'Lord of the Flies' again (W. Golding). The boy is not aware of any danger and he starts dismantling right away. He skips the first Natural step, i.e. looking and looking. In fact, when you do the experiment, you'l have to tell the grocer that it is quite harmless, otherwise he will go no further than this first step of observation. Now you can see how our governments are real six-year old kids. They even start SAVING on the budget instead of doubling it every year, until crime is decreased to the absolute minimum. Here, too, you see that grocers, farmers, typists, truckers, etc. would do a far better job in governing. They have the Natural common sense. Indeed, a Lottocracy, that is the Way for a fair Mondial government." [71], [130]
