It is a flavour I have not tasted, a colour I have not seen and an argument I can not think of so I convince myself of this.

Voting has the effect of allowing the population to feel they are steering the ship when actually they are swabbing the decks.

You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that the vast sweep of the common people have any power over the decisions that govern their lives at all, beyond the doomsday power of revolution. Which is hardly ever used because of the mess.

Much the same was said about the printing press, common people with the power to publish and distribute ideas would be the end of civilisation. It wasn't, humanity has always lived fast and loose with its power for invention outstripping its ability to manage it. Comes from the selective pressures on us, find a way to survive now and worry about the long term effects later. Of course it will probably catch up with us one day.

Dogs make that same train movement when you are making a serious conversational point, they slide past wiping their arse on the carpet with a look that says 'don't mind me'.

Such entities may quietly make use of the science themselves, these actions seek to undermine alternative authorities and sow discord.

I actually take a couple of post-it notes a day for a temporary but quick alternative.

This is clearly nonsense, some people don't shower every day.
