You said:
"The people who matter"? An interesting description for the people who, as individuals, precisely *do not
matter*, but who, by some magic, in vast aggregates,
are, as you say, what matters.
Vast aggregates do not eat hamburgers - people do.
In the case of McDonald's, the people who have gone to there and ordered hamburgers by the billions are what matter is a decision as to whether Mcburgers are worth eating.
Votes in:
Billions say that the burgers are good.
One says they aren't,
Of course, the one who says no is so excruciatingly superior in his judgement of hamburgers that his opinions must surely outweigh those who buy the billions.
Bah!
As Galileo muttered under his breath during his house arrest after having penned his signature to a document in which he contritely confessed that he had been all wrong, and that the sun goes around the earth after all and that tht Pope right no matter what the Pope thinks:
Eppur si muove. (Nonetheless, it moves.)
