“Why a city state and not a country state? Why couldn’t people rule themselves? Who was to say who the ruler should be? You could ask as many questions as you wanted. Aristotle would have just as many silly answers. But even the ancients were on to him. ‘None of us knows anything, not even whether we know anything or not,’ said Metrodorus of Chios, aiming for Aristotle’s head. But it was the great Pyrrho from Elis who developed the philosophy we know today as ‘skepticism.’ Loosely, a skeptic is someone who suspects that other people don’t know nearly as much as they think they do. And when it comes to central banking and central economic planning, they are always right.”
