Episode 121: Do The Irish Government Ever Question Themselves?

I doubt it. Or if some of them do, they dishonestly hide it – which might be even worse. But we simply cannot trust any person who pretends to know everything and to always be right. That is the perspective of someone who will be blind to incoming information that could uplift and expand, clarify their models of reality. Ironically, the loudest and most confident people in Irish politics – overwhelmingly the Establishment parties in government and 'opposition' – are in fact those we should listen to least. While those who speak seldom and quietly, carefully, due to not being totally sure if they are correct – these are the people most likely to make the necessary adjustments with evidence, logic and experience to have an accurate mental map of reality in terms of what is real and what we should do about it. Yet these people are often cowed and impressed by the confidence of the arrogant and never-self-questioning. Ireland must find a balance between questioning ourselves and ALWAYS keeping an open mind to the possibility that we are mistaken about even things very fundamental and dear to us – and yet on the other hand also committing ourselves to standing on our instincts, to say that for now this is what I'm believing and until further notice I will argue for it without fear. A key transformation in this landscape could be if enough people realise the government are always certain they're right – they NEVER say 'maybe' or 'I don't know' or 'Our opponents might be right' – and so they thus disqualify themselves from being taken too seriously. If the middle-ground of Irish voters can realise their self-questioning and uncertainty is a sign that they can be trusted better than the Establishment about what's what, sanity rises.    VOTE JAMIE MCGLUE INTO THE DÁIL I am running for election in Dublin Bay North under the banner of my new political party, Gaelic Awakening; for Free Speech, Fair Borders, Full Sovereignty.
