Summary

This quote highlights a critical flaw in our democratic systems. It implies that instead of prioritizing education and fostering a deeper understanding of what is truly beneficial for society as a whole, we tend to cater to the desires of the majority. This suggests that short-term gains and superficial preferences often overshadow the importance of informed decision-making. In order to enhance our democracy, there needs to be an emphasis on educating and empowering citizens to make choices that serve the greater good, rather than simply appeasing the majority.
