Just Sign Here

I guess part of Rawls' appeal springs from his attempt to save the "social contract" theory of political legitimacy.

It's clear that you can't get everyone in the world to unanimously agree on a single social system.

So you hypothesize your way
To a set of ignorant souls
Who will vote the way you say
In those social contract polls.

And so, it has come to this.
Ignorance is bliss.
