Readers who enjoyed this book might also enjoy David van Raybrouck's "Against Elections." And even though I enjoyed this book more, van Raybrouck offers solutions while Harsanyi does nothing but complain.

Suet624 Hmmm.. I keep thinking about this statistic. If the stat stated 50% I might agree, but 70% seems awfully high. is this number verified by studies? 6d
keithmalek @Suet624 He doesn't cite sources on that, but I just googled it, and according to Forbes, it's 68 percent. So yes, it's pretty much accurate. 5d

Individuals join crowds because of a vague understanding of the original idea. Crowds accept the superficiality of their ideas because it is a prerequisite to conforming, which, quite often, is their real goal.

This has always been one of my all-time favorite quotations.

quote
keithmalek

The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can ever help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population--the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it's the fools that form the overwhelming majority.

Brilliant! Two years after 9/11, a commission is formed to build a memorial. All is well until the commission discovers that the winning design was submitted by a Muslim.

"Nothing in life gets dropped without someone else having to pick it up."

quote
keithmalek

When the feds have brought domestic terrorism cases, they've often fallen apart at trial. Not only is the legal landscape a challenge, but judges and juries are just a lot more sympathetic to someone they can imagine as a family member or neighbor than, say, to an ISIL sympathizer.
