By now we’ve all seen the ‘files’, if you’re like me you’ve used various AI to cross-reference them with other things like financial crashes, who else might be a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree connections, where do they work, etc etc etc and at the end of it you see the web of parasitic elites running our society.
How do we just go back to ‘normal’??
What to do then?
Create an open source platform where everyone can vote on every matter. Matter to be voted on are chosen by petitions. If a petition indicates societal need for change (x supporters in y time frame) anyone can propose a solution. Then a vote is taken. The solution with the most votes is implemented. If there is a new petition on the same topic, the fun starts all over again.
Advantages from my point of view:
No potentially corrupt representatives
No deflection of one’s own bad voting decisions (aka. it’s the fault of those at the top)
Citizens once again have a motivation to inform themselves about issues more than just once every four years.
Will everyone always be able to vote on everything? Certainly not, as individuals’ time and resources are limited. Therefore, those who vote on a decision are likely to be affected by it themselves, or at least feel that they are. In this way, people who have informed themselves beforehand, or at least would do so, tend to vote more.
We would use the real-time communication possibilities that the internet has given us for something positive instead of slop and brain rot.
I like this, but how do you avoid people making bad decisions because they think it will benefit society but then it makes things worse? Like the kind of questions experts are better suited to know. For example rent control is repeatedly proven to be a bad policy, but people tend to think its good cause logic shows that “prices high, lets make them less directly”. Experts would maybe look at the underlying causes of prevention of construction, height restrictions, land speculation, and expansions of credit supply as a cause of housing unaffordability.
