When asked the Russian writer Anton Chekhov about the nature of failed societies, he replied:
In failed societies, there are a thousand fools for each successful mind and a thousand clumsy words for each conscious word. The majority is always stupid and constantly dominate the rational. If you see trivial topics at the forefront of discussions in a society and trivial people take centre stage, then you are talking about a very failed society. For example, millions of people dance and repeat meaningless songs and words, and the person who wrote the song becomes famous, known and loved. Even people have their own opinion on matters of society and life. As for writers and authors, no one knows them and no one gives them value or weight. Most people like pettiness and numbness. Someone who drugs us to make us lose our mind, and someone who makes us laugh with nonsense, is better than someone who wakes us up to reality and hurts us by telling the truth. Therefore democracy is not suitable for ignorant societies, because the ignorant majority will decide their fate. Global Sociology
