    If we could dispose of respect for the individual, then we could replace democracy with science. That would be efficient.

      Science doesn’t have values, and policy needs values. Science can tell you the best way to achieve your values, but if your values don’t align with the values of the majority of people, then you’re going to use science to make people unhappy.

      It sounds like you just want to impose your values onto other people, which is precisely what democracy was invented to protect people against.
