Sounds like an improvement to me.

Don’t worry people will pay to watch irl.

What about being a porn actor?

You can use a terminal browser a la lynks2 or w3m

Yeah if your machine can be added to a botnet then it will be. Resistance is futile, we are Borg style.

That’s a fair additive although it can be difficult to define the boundaries. Particularly tech can have a far reaching influence and arguably global influence these days. If the scope of the policy is narrow then I can imagine that being functional, if the scope is potentially global then that may become an issue.

Tell humans something is naughty or bad and some will find a thrill in it regardless of what it is. Also it’s a power exchange which is a very common dynamic humans enjoy in and outside the bedroom.

One man’s troubles are another man’s dreams and another man’s nightmare

Calling democracy mob rule is really old. I would at least prefer representatives to be scientists or otherwise the most informed on the subject and policies they are deciding on. I would also prefer all policies to be tested to see if they actually create their desired outcomes. I would prefer the desired outcome to always be increasing human and environmental wellbeing.

He’s not the first but I was thinking about that. I can’t remember the critic but early on in the American experiment someone described it as mob rule.

Similar but I would prefer a representative democracy but where the representatives need to be national experts on what they are deciding. So for instance if it’s medicine then the representatives need to be physicians and medical scientists, and previous heads of hospitals. If it’s dealing with the environment then the representatives need to be environmental scientists, civic engineers, and so on. Aka have the most informed people for that which you are trying to make decisions. Even better, have their policies reviewed by a body of their peers the same way scientific publishing works to get a measure on how good or bad their ideas are. Even better, test their ideas when they’ve been implemented to see if they’re actually working.

Yup just tell group X who dislikes thing Y or group Z that X and Z are bad and you’re in like Flynn.

That’s why democracy is also known as being ruled by the hordes of idiots. It’s amazing when people are well informed on what they are voting on, the problem is that’s never happened in mass and never will. People will vote based on their feelings or just straight up not at all.
