the best way to acquire a skill is to submit to someone's authority
usually a book written by an expert, or a tutor
point is: true authority is natural
ideally those who are best suited to lead should lead
but it's difficult to implement any such system in practice

>people need a "leader" to guide them and tell them what to do

Don't fucking beg the question.

>>541351
to put it vaguely - the average person is too busy working or looking after a family for him to deeply understand politics or strongly study a subject. A leader is someone who is capable of guiding another person because they have gained the knowledge.

No.

Hahaha well meme'd, my friend. Here's a litmus test. If you're American, ask 10 people you know about the origins of Thanksgiving. I guarantee at least 9 talk about Pilgrims and Indians.

It probably has something to do with how information is stratified, or its application.

I seriously doubt Police Chiefs, school principals, or WcDonalds managers are crabitalist aberrations.

>Can't people think for themselves?

No.

/thread

(Also because information is costly and subject to friction, necessitating sovereign coordination mechanisms, regardless of how virtuous constituent entities are. And since some people can think better than others anyways, it all works out neatly)

>Can't people think for themselves?

They can, but you still need somebody to make a unified decision or everybody will go off in different directions.

That's retarded. I have seen a million little litmus tests like yours and all they do is test for random knowledge. The origins of Thanksgiving isn't really common knowledge, so it doesn't matter. You aren't going to rule a country any better by knowing that, either. Like you for example, you would fail as a leader no matter what you knew.

Because anarchy begins where there is no authority.

Anyway most modern countries aren't led by what you'd call a leader, but technically by an entire system of governmental bodies
