The Invisible Hand Of The Disogranized Masses

Submitted by JC Collins via Philosophy Of Metrics blog,
The comments this week coming from the so-called elite referencing the ignorant masses have manufactured an aggressive response. The mainstream media have not picked up on these comments but the alternative media have been on the cultural front lines with well strategized talking points.
It should be noted that I have often referenced the disorganized masses in previous posts. This phrase stands in contrast to what is being referenced with the term ignorant masses. Disorganized would suggest non-ignorance with a lack of focus and intent. Ignorant simply means that the masses are too intellectually inferior for advanced comprehension.
While it cannot be denied that there is a vast component of ignorance maintained within the disorganized masses, this ignorance, for the most part, is not willful and is the product of massive cultural and socioeconomic conditioning. Being that all people are not intellectually equal, it can be assumed that there are varying degrees of comprehension when it comes to socioeconomic trends and directions.
The one common trait which is shared by all demographics is the expression of self-interest. The term ‘Invisible Hand’ was first used by Adam Smith in the lead up years to the French Revolution. The invisible hand described the unintended social benefits of individual actions. It was reasoned that individuals’ efforts to pursue their own interest may frequently benefit society more than if their actions were directly intending to benefit society.
