"That's right, a new world of perfect order." Sauron said in a sincere tone.

Gandalf sighed: "Where is there any perfect order? Your so-called perfect order is probably centralized rule, right? ”

Sauron smiled and said, "Gandalf, do you admit that there is a difference between stupid and smart people in this world? ”

Gandalf nodded, "I admit it." ”

"A wise man is born to rule over the foolish, and a foolish man is born to be ruled by a wise man."

"Only then can the world function properly, do you agree with that?"

"......" Gandalf hesitated for a moment, but did not respond.

This is a very deep question.

If the essence of the question is purely true.

There are indeed very smart people and stupid people in this world, and many major decisions should be made by smart people, not controlled by stupid people.

Smart people will make things more efficient, while stupid people will just mess things up.

If the power of the world is put in the hands of smart people, it may harm the interests of stupid people, but at the very least, the whole world benefits.

And if all the power of the world is put in the hands of stupid people, then the rights and interests of stupid people will be protected, but the whole society will be on the verge of collapse.

This is also why, power has always been a pyramid, the bottom of the pyramid is desperate without any power, and the top of the pyramid is a very small group of people.

The smarter the group of people who hold power, the healthier the pyramid of society will be.

And if the group of people who hold power are elected and deliberated through one person, one vote, then this social pyramid will soon collapse.

One person, one vote can guarantee the interests of everyone, which sounds very politically correct and very lofty, but there are always fewer smart people and more stupid people in the world, and if you fight for the number of votes, the number of votes of smart people will definitely not be as many as that of stupid people.

In that way, many resolutions that are originally beneficial to this society will not be implemented, and then the bad money will drive out the good money, and there will be fewer and fewer smart people and more and more stupid people, because everyone does not need to use their brains, nor do they need to think about the long-term overall situation, they just need to vote according to their emotions.

Over time, there will be more and more people who don't use their brains, more and more people who don't think about the whole society and only think about their own immediate interests, and more and more people who are restrained and manipulated by others.

The most terrible thing is that when there are fewer smart people, there will be a lot of people who can only play clever conspiracy methods on the stage, but when the really smart people are in power, this kind of smart people who engage in conspiracy methods must be people with their tails between their legs, but when the right to speak is in the hands of most stupid people, these people will take advantage of loopholes and become leaders, and then accelerate the collapse of the pyramid society.

Changhu Town is a good example, the reason why Changhu Town has declined for so long, in addition to the external objective environment, the internal reason is that stupid people have obtained the same power as smart people, smart people know that the mayor of Qianbao Town is on the throne by means, but stupid people can't see it, so with a majority of votes, Qian Baozi was elected mayor, and after the bag became the mayor, he intensified the exploitation of these stupid people, and at the same time, the potential normality will not let Changhu Town find a better way out, As a result, the town of Long Lake will become worse and worse.

Do you think the residents of Long Lake will learn a lesson from this?

No, most of them are stupid people, and they have forgotten their pain with a few words to the mayor of the money bag, and they are ecstatic to wait for the gold coins to fall from the sky.

Taking a step back, even if they knew that the mayor of the money bag was unreliable, they might choose another person who could play tricks but was also unreliable, and their stupidity was that they couldn't tell who was smart and who was clever who played tricks.

The essential difference between the two is very large.

Therefore, it is very dangerous to hand over society to stupid people and clever people, and the best way is to put smart people in power.

Even smart people can make mistakes, but at least the general direction of society is good, and the system of the whole society is also a virtuous circle.

However, this comes at the expense of some of the interests of the majority.

People who play with the little cleverness call this interest democracy, as if the word that comes out of their mouth means that they represent justice, while everyone else means the evil of the dictatorship.

Is dictatorship evil?

In the hearts of the vast majority of people, they will feel that dictatorship is evil, democracy is political correctness, and all those who say that dictatorship is good are bad people.

However, in fact, thousands of years of human civilization have come from dictatorship, and most of the so-called dictatorships are just labeled, and only in a very few cases is that a stupid ruler has come to power and carried out brutal rule.

Therefore, whether it is dictatorial or not, the most important thing for the impact of society is whether the ruler in the upper position is a smart person or a stupid person.

The system of feudal rule, in which the ruler is determined by bloodline, has great drawbacks, and it is also one aspect of the criticism of the theory of centralized dictatorship.

However, if it is not by blood, but by internal election and appointment of intelligent people, the risk of such a malpractice is greatly reduced.

Of course, it's not for nothing.

Because no system in this world is absolutely perfect.

Some of them sound good on the surface, but the people don't benefit from the good ones, but it's just easier for people who can play clever to get into position.

Some systems sound bad on the surface, but when the society enters a virtuous circle, the people will inevitably benefit in the end, even if there are not many societies, but they will eventually benefit.

Middle-earth is now facing such an embarrassing situation, and some people have begun to preach that all men are created equal and that everyone should enjoy the same rights, and this idea has quickly gained the approval of many people, but in reality, when the wise and the stupid have the same rights, when the industrious and the lazy have the same power, when the good and the evil have the same power, when the few who grasp the truth and the many who do not know the truth have the same power, society will be chaotic.

Chaos represents disorder.

The purpose of the main god's experiment on Middle-earth is to establish a good order, so that all species in Middle-earth can continue to operate according to this good condition.

It's like a program, and everybody is a small piece of code in the program, and the code is getting messy.

Morgoth was aware of these problems, and he began to discover the complexity of human nature, and he began to discover that everyone has something unwillingness in their hearts.

Why were you born to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I was born with only bran vegetables?

Why were you born to rule over me, and I was born to kneel to you?

Isn't that right? From a human point of view, such an idea is right, and if anyone says that this idea is wrong, it is anti-human.

However, if the whole world is a machine, then each part must be arranged in an orderly manner, without too much personal will.

This is also the original intention of the Lord God to create Middle-earth, and it is also the most perfect operating state of Middle-earth.

But alas, people are not machines.

No one is willing to be an ordinary screw forever.

When 10 out of 100 people are unwilling to make screws, they will encourage more people not to make screws, and when 50 out of 100 people are unwilling to make screws, the machine will not be able to operate, and when 90 out of 100 people will not be willing to make screws, there will be social turmoil and change.

But what about after the change?

Don't you have to make screws for everyone?

No, it still takes 100 people to do the screws, until one day, 10 more people don't want to do the screws, and then it grows to 50, and finally it grows to 90, and then it causes turmoil and change.

Throughout history, this has been true of all great eras.

It's the human heart.

There is also no solution.

The only way to solve this problem is to weld all the minds to the death, so that everyone has no minds, and let everyone become a standard machine, so that at this time, it can run in a super efficient way.

But the problem is that this is anti-human, and no one can guarantee that a society that runs with super efficiency will definitely take the right sunny road, and if it goes wrong, no one can correct it, then it will go all the way to the black, and go directly from glory to destruction.

Therefore, although the constantly changing system affects the efficiency of society, it is also equivalent to a process of eliminating the virus itself.

Gandalf knew this, after all, he had gone through the whole process of Middle-earth from nothing, and he had witnessed countless such transformations.

For Morgoth and for Sauron, they are completely unacceptable to such a process, and in their opinion, this process of change will undoubtedly greatly affect the efficiency of society, and such a world is imperfect.

In their eyes, the most perfect world should be a world of complete order, and the so-called complete order is the decree they have established, and no one will break it.

Under no circumstances will anyone question the orders against them.

This is something that Middle-earth cannot achieve at present, so they want to destroy Middle-earth and tear it down and start over, and they want to return Middle-earth, which has entered the feudal era, to the slave age, and it is absolutely brutal slave age.

A long time ago, when there was no technology, the slave society meant a society with extremely low productivity and no efficiency, but when technology developed to the extreme, the system of the slave society was the system of the recent order!!

Therefore, Morgoth and Sauron's so-called perfect order refers to the slavery system, where they want to enslave everyone and make everyone obey their orders completely without resistance, so that the development of Middle-earth will be extremely efficient, but at the same time, such a rule is also extremely dark and brutal, and it is completely dehumanizing.

Gandalf and the other heroes of the Alliance, naturally, would not let this happen.
