The Ruler's Paradox Poem by michael spangenberg

The Ruler's Paradox



You don't need a PhD in mathematics to know that a hard-core smoker can't prevent terminal lung cancer by imprisoning the oncologist.

One can also not keep the season of Spring from coming by taking down the first swallow on its bird-migration route to Africa.

It's hard to even start imagining how one can prevent a revolution by accelerating inequity between rich and poor beyond the human optimum.

The world-wide scientific forum reached consensus that natural disasters by virtue of climate change can't be prevented by simply demolishing the Environmental Protection Agency.

Neither can one eradicate the God of mercy & justice by decapitating his evangelists, or burning the chapels & cathedrals inclusive of the faithful widows and orphans.

不可能な定理は、有名な支配者の傲慢さは、独裁者が彼らの限界を漠然として無知にしか奪われないことを示している。

The impossibility theorem reconfirms that a pre-eminent ruler's arrogance's generally only eclipsed by blissful ignorance on his actual limitations, the ruler's paradox references to each dictator's ultimate impermanence.
