You’ve taken Sowell’s observation about the dichotomy of the “conflict of visions” and made your own cliche persona version of the elitist, “some humans are more suited to make decisions for others” leftwinger.

What do you think your leaders do? And on what basis do you select them?

The conservative view in the dichotomy is that any one human cannot have the detailed information that another individual has to make a decision about his own life, and that of his family.

Therefore, the power of the elected officials MUST be limited so as to not interfere with the individual’s choices.

IE, judges should not have the power that we’re giving them to determine curriculum in local schools - that’s up to the school boards and ultimately, the parents.

You’ve already posted that you believe the state should override the “prejudices and superstitions” (the values) of the parents. IE, you bastards “know better” than the parents, and will use FORCE to make us comply.

Elitist CRAP.
