Idea to explore – a comittee of selves

While thinking of this quote from Mencken

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods. If such a board actually exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing money

I’m thinking that more accurately describes the self and it’s conflicting desires – almost as well as the elephant/rider description.
