 The people are retarded - Osho 
 Let's go with the full quote:

“Democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people, but the people are retarded. So let us say: government by the retarded, for the retarded, of the retarded.” - OSHO 
 Is that the actual quote? 👀 
 I love this compilation

 Agree. It is a very good compilation. Have you taken a dive into any of the full discourses yet? 
 The audio recordings?  
 Yes, OSHO would give extended discourses on topics. They have been transcribed as well.

This archive upload goes from decent quality audio to poorly copied audio. The audio for sale from OSHO .com is excellent quality and unlike the Audible releases, does not have any DRM to liberate.

 I went thru a phase where I was totally obsessed and listened to a whole bunch of them. Funny dude

 Thank GOD we have a Constitutional Republic. That was close. Still makes me wonder what sort of "democracy" they always try and tell us we are losing. It's almost as if it's their "democracy."
