wrong, and there are plenty of human (they are the ones with the mind)
counter-examples, some zero or negative population growth, millions of

Even the best of the present nominal democracy won't work
if the power is not in fact in the hand of those elected by dubious
means. Which doesn't mean that democracy cannot work,
there is no evidence that autocracy works.
Some of your educated type with contempt against the rest of humanity
is just so keen to go for some elitist system.
