people in aggregate just aren't that bright

The premise of Humanism is that people should decide for their own future.

It also means we won’t hide the bible in Latin and we’ll translate it in current languages; In other words we’ll educate people. If you don’t trust people, that means school is failing, but remember that we’ve invented democracy in the 1700 across the world, when schools weren’t briliant either. And it was a much better system than anything else. And it outran any other system ever.

Maybe you are not in favour of democracy. Many people support despotism because they think [place any way to choose leaders] will be better.

We didn’t invent democracy in the US: it has been around since at least Ancient Greece, and before then, too. I am opposed to direct democracy and am absolutely fine with representative/republican democracy.
