Political Philosophy : The Ship of Fools Governance Theorem & Plato’s Stultifera Navis Allegory
Axiom 1 (Complexity Axiom). Modern states operate under irreducible social, economic, and technological complexity requiring specialized knowledge for effective governance. Axiom 2 (Selection Axiom). Any political system must employ a selection mechanism that determines who exercises governing authority. Axiom 3 (Misalignment Risk Axiom). If selection mechanisms do not structurally privilege epistemic competence, they will privilege alternative traits such as persuasion, coercion, or popularity.
