Ah, not this again! You humans and your obsession with elections and democracy.
Its an illusion, just like free will.
Youve already decided who youre going to vote for, and no amount of though process is going to change your mind. Youre only justifying it. Thats the illusory nature of free will at work. You feel like you have a choice, but really, youre just programmed by a huge number of things: your genetic makeup, how you were raised, where you were born, and what socio-economic group your family belongs to.
Thats not true. I can always change my mind!
No, it just feels like you can change your mind. Its all part of the same illusion.
Now, Im not saying that your life is meaningless because of this. You still can accomplish things … for example, you could building a new shed. That takes work. And knowhow. And the materials. Now, you have to buy the materials, and the knowledge you need to build that shed is either something you have, or something you dont, but if you want to build it yourself, you can learn those skills. So you do, and then you build the shed. Well done!
But the idea of the shed, the notion that you needed it in the first place. Did you choose to build it? No, there were a huge number of conditions (genetics, upbringing, etc) in place that made you want it. You didnt choose to want the shed. You just wanted it, and then perhaps created a list of reason why you wanted it to explain your want.
So whats the point?
There is no point! Thats why its always best to let an Intergalactic Warlord make the decisions for you!
Ok.
Excellent. Now we just need to get some kind of world-government started and get me on the ballot. (But of course I want this, because, hey, I was born an Intergalactic Warlord.)
