Democracy is not the highest goal. It is better than dictatorial regimes, it is better than monarchies, but it is not the end of the journey — because democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people, but the people are challenged. Democracy cannot be the highest possibility that we can attain. It is good in comparison to other forms of government that have preceded it, but not something that can succeed it. I call that meritocracy. I want a government by people of merit. And merit is a very rare quality. As the situation is, all the geniuses of the world are outside governments. It is hilarious: those geniuses are needed in the government because they can give the best world to humanity, but they are servants of challenged politicians. The situation may be a little bit different in different countries, but the basic thing is the same: people of merit are not the people who rule. The people who rule are always mediocre. Democracy means mediocracy. I cannot support mediocracy. I would like people of merit to manage the world, then things will be totally different.- OSHO
