The Remaining 1.2 Per Cent
from Philosophics — Philosophical and Political Ramblings · host Bry Willis
This satirical report by language philosopher Bry Willis and Claude explores a fictional political experiment where chimpanzees are granted the right to vote and hold office alongside humans. Despite sharing 98.8 per cent of their genetic code, the two groups remain fundamentally divided on concepts like private property, legal promises, and moral standing. The narrator concludes that democratic integration acts as an emulsion rather than a true mixture, kept in suspension only through constant institutional agitation. Ultimately, the text suggests that even minimal biological differences can create insurmountable barriers to a unified social order. The piece serves as a critique of modern democracy, highlighting how deep-seated perspectives often resist even the most expensive efforts at civic education.👉 https://brywillis634737.substack.com/
