Freemasonry's claims depend on Plato's unsound assumption that the man who possesses a special gift will possess also a universal wisdom which will enable him to impose an order on the state which is superior to that contrived by a consultative system; which will enable him, in fact, to know other people's business better than they do themselves.
This is only true when INTERNATIONAL MEDIA is allowed to FABRICATE PUBLIC CONSENT.
YET:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet look good, and talk wise,
We will survive.
