"Sería raro que quien mengua y estropea su manada de vacas no admitiera ser un mal vaquero. Pero más asombroso es que quien dirige a un pueblo menguándolo y estropeándolo no se avergüence de ello, ni admita ser un mal dirigente de ese pueblo". (Jenofonte. Recuerdos de Sócrates) #liderazgo #reflexión #sabiduría #Nocountrycodesfound.

The Three Words Democracy Borrows Democracy is often praised as inherently good, but Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates saw serious flaws. A better view: rule by one, few, or many each has tradeoffs. A healthy society ideally combines a strong leader, a competent elite, and a virtuous citizenry—because, as Thomas Sowell said, “there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” Democracy promises three virtues it can’t guarantee: freedom, wisdom, and consent. **Freedom:** Nozick’s thought experiment shows how slavery can be disguised by changing vocabulary—when power gradually shifts from overt domination to rules voted on by others, at what point is it “freedom”? A society can talk endlessly about freedom while restricting rights through taxes, regulations, and suspensions. **Wisdom:** Socrates doubted democracy produces wisdom. If a voyage were dangerous, you wouldn’t let every passenger vote equally on navigation. Yet political voting gives equal weight regardless of knowledge, inviting manipulation by those skilled in fear, emotion, and flattery. **Consent:** “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” can be an illusion. If the state is treated as “us,” coercion can be reframed as self-government. But representatives don’t truly follow your instructions the way a genuine agent must. Freedom, wisdom, and consent are real virtues—democracy just borrows their language, and the biggest risk is believing that choosing rulers collectively makes the ruled free, wise, and consenting.

Há 48 anos, o eterno ídolo Sócrates estreava com o manto alvinegro. Foi em 20 de agosto de 1978 que Dr. Sócrates, um dos maiores ídolos da história corinthiana, iniciou sua trajetória no Timão. Pelo Campeonato Paulista, o Corinthians empatou em 1 a 1 com o Santos, com Rui Rei marcando o gol alvinegro. Pelo Corinthians, foram 298 jogos, 172 gols e três Campeonatos Paulistas conquistados, em 1979, 1982 e 1983. O eterno camisa 8 também defendeu a Seleção Brasileira, com 63 partidas, 25 gols e duas Copas do Mundo disputadas, em 1982 e 1986. Eternamente dentro dos nossos corações. #CulturalDoCorinthians #VaiCorinthians #Sócrates #Corinthians #Futebol
