MODERATORS
This is why democracy is doomed to failure.
Democracy? We don't directly vote to choose our own way through life. We elect "representatives".
what's the alternative? I'm actually curious
I guess nobody's heard of anarchy
A good education system with good funding.
Education is an alternative to democracy?
Either you don't get it or you're being intentionally obtuse.
Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.
As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms, forms
I'm guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society's in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.
Someone asked what the alternative to democracy was. They answered "education".
Dictatorship, duh
The D or the D, you pick
algocracy could work, having tons of automated systems in the decision making process.
doesnt have to be ai, and there could be people involved too, but more machines isnt a bad idea
Dangerous people are identified as a young age and are placed in a virtual reality where they can do no harm and live out their narcissists fantasies, and we don't have to deal with them.
how do you define dangerous? what's the cut off point? is stealing a water bottle from a homeless person the same as tealing it from walmart? same item technically
IMO its not about the item, but the intent. I know we're getting into hypotheticals and rhetoricals, but IMO, the line is doing anything that causes harm to another living being without feeling remorse.
Stealing a water bottle from a megacorp doesn't harm anybody. Stealing a water bottle from a homeless person can mean life or death.
You're way too overthinking this.
And use nanomachines to control the people!
