Friedrich Nietzsche
In fact, I am against all people having the same right to vote. Sounds should have different effects. Shouldn't the voice of the conscious man and the philosopher be like the voice of an ordinary man? That he hasn’t read any books
In fact, I am against the notion that all individuals should possess the same right to vote. For it is not equality of opportunity that should govern our political systems, but rather the recognition of the inherent disparities in human nature. Sounds, indeed, should have different effects, reflecting the diversity of perspectives and values that underlie our existence. The voice of the conscious man, the philosopher, should not be reduced to the same level as that of the ordinary man who has not delved into the depths of knowledge and introspection. It is through the refinement of thought and the cultivation of wisdom that one truly grasps the complexities of existence and is able to make informed decisions that shape the course of society. The individual who has not read any books, who has not engaged in the intellectual pursuit of truth and meaning, cannot be expected to contribute meaningfully to the discourse of governance and policy-making. It is in recognizing the unique capacities and limitations of each individual that we can truly build a society that thrives on diversity and the pursuit of excellence. Just as in nature, where each organism fulfills a specific role and contributes to the ecosystem in its own way, so too must we acknowledge the varying levels of insight and intelligence that exist among us. It is only through the acceptance of these differences and the celebration of our individual strengths that we can create a harmonious and just society.
