As my mother used to say, “Those who do not govern themselves are governed by others.”

The only thing I did not emphasize in this essay was that individuals with low intellectual capacity may also seek intellectual leadership because they realize that their own decisions are not as good as those of others, and not only because of laziness. Regardless, the individual is not sovereign over themselves.
