I do not agree because in 2022, it is rather:

The best fortress of the Tyrants is the ineptitude of the people!

Not a quote but a fable... not sure it's really based on a scientific experiment but it makes sense!

'A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a room in the middle of which was a stepladder allowing access to bananas.
Each time one of the monkeys tried to climb the stepladder, an icy shower automatically sprayed the others.
After a while, every time one of the monkeys tried to climb on the stepladder, the others would hit him for fear of taking an icy shower.

Of course, after some time, none of the monkeys dared to climb on the stepladder despite the temptation.
The researchers then decided to replace the monkeys.

To begin with, only one monkey in the community was replaced by a new one. The first thing the newcomer did was to try to climb the stepladder. Immediately, the others hit him.

A few strokes later, the new member of the community had learned not to climb the stepladder again without even knowing the reason for this prohibition.

A second monkey was replaced and suffered the same fate as the first. The latter joined the others in beating him as soon as he tried to climb on the stepladder. The monkey who arrived just before him participates in the punishment... with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the “team”.
A third monkey was exchanged and the process repeated. The fourth and fifth were changed in turn. All suffered the same fate as soon as they tried to climb the stepladder.

The group of five monkeys, despite never having received a cold shower, continued to hit any newcomer who tried to climb the stepladder.

At this point, the aggressor monkeys have no idea why they are not allowed to climb the ladder. Nor do they know why they participate in the aggression of the latest arrival.

In the end, after replacing all the original monkeys, no monkeys in the cage were doused with cold water. However, none will attempt to climb the ladder. Why ? Because in their minds…it's like that, and always has been.
If it were possible to talk to these monkeys and ask them why they knock
Those who try to climb the stepladder, I bet their response would be:
"I don't know, but here it is like that."
Does this behavior sound unfamiliar to you?
That's why, from time to time, you have to change all the monkeys, AT THE SAME TIME.''

Well no, because precisely, the first man replacing the one who knew, would have asked the others why they had hit him when he had tried to climb the stepladder. And the others would have no reason to hide the answer from him. And the response of the others was an understandable and legitimate reason not to go upstairs, which wouldn't prevent a man from trying anyway one day or another, just to check.

Parables, even amusing like this and which can certainly represent certain behaviors in certain circumstances, remain the argument of religions: simplistic to manipulate simpletons and make them swallow anything by generalizing particular cases. The reality is quite different.
To think that men are jerks, when one is a man oneself, is only coherent if one is a jerk, but then irrelevant, and otherwise it is to believe oneself in the top of the top of the enlightened humanity, which in the case of Christophe, would be to roll on the ground.

Yes, and I would gladly add that individuals also go crazy. Well, not everything, fortunately. : Cheesy:

Correct, but the laws are still made by individuals...

I say again because it is likely that it will be AI doing them in a few years! : Mrgreen:

ps: are you targeting anyone in particular? : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : roll: : roll:

As long as we are in “Society and Philosophy” just a small observation:
Maybe I'm wrong but if we understand correctly, it's the same person who moderates the forum, throws oil on the fire and then distributes warnings?
