THE TECHNOCRACY BONOBO CARTOON

Picture the long familiar 'three bonobos', see no evil (at the bottom), hear no evil (in the middle), speak no evil (at the top), 'the mouthpiece'.

They are sitting atop one another three high, legs entwined in differing ways around the neck of the one below. The 'pillar' they form should be zig-zag, rather than straight up and down. These bonobos should be looking frisky and alert, if handicapped.

(For a brief historical reference, there is a resort, in Boca Raton, The B R Resort and Club, which long has had a so called 'Monkey Bar', since the time of its founder, back in the 1920s, who collected exotic things. Although its Spanish colonial decor sadly was modernized under new management, the Monkey Bar was still there, several years ago. The gift shop has all kinds of monkey memorabilia.)

For the really creative, there might be a full length mirror to their left or right, they turned half away from the picture surface, looking into the mirror.

The image in the mirror seen by the viewer will be that of several well dressed serious looking men (or women), in suits, standing in a group, sipping champagne, in conference.

The caption above reads:
"Natural Moral Pillars"

The one below:
"The Pyramid of Experts: Bonobos' Boom"
or "Bonobos In Heaven".


What Would Real Political Reform Look Like?

For that matter, what would real 'philosophy of social science' look like,
rather than punditosophy?
