Is it? Because 80% of the country are numerically and technologically illiterate.

Now yar talking 2 different things. If you want informed folks making appropriate decisions informed folks need to be empowered to do so. Politicians precisely do not, since their praxis is to empower themselves above all information and reason. A direct democracy allows the informed access to act on informed actions. While a politician doesn't have to recall what they voted last bill.
If you want more informed folks, that are capable counters & somewhat better technological literacy, you also need to directly mentor. More mentorships, less schooling. Direct democracy needs both to work.
I pray you Canadians get your acts straighter than NaziSians. Fuck🖕oppressors.
