Erasmus c.1469 – 1536
“In regione caecorum rex est luscus.”
Which is translated “In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king”
This is interesting to me because it shows the relationship between the people and the one who is in charge. This is very true in modern day society, but with a little difference. In our post modern world it has now become the one with the loudest argument is the ruler. No longer is the reasoned argument the strongest, we live in a irrational world the finds rationale, irrational.
This is one of my favorite quotes.
