The IQ of a mob is lower than the IQ of the dumbest member.
This is the main problem with Democracy.
Democracy is literally Mob Rule.
The problems that the world faces today are complex.
Comprehending them requires a person to have a basic understanding of science, economics, history, and humanism.
Democracy means that the people who decide our actions to approach and tackle these problems are in fact the least qualified to lead our efforts.

I'm sorry, I don't have an alternative form of government to advocate in preference to Democracy.

All I do know, is that Democracy dooms us to be collectively no smarter than Lemmings. In that sense, Democracy is no better than any other form of rulership in its ability and probability that we might avoid a similar fate.

@soundwave I agree. I am against democracy. I prefer dictatorship, specifically one where I am in charge. This seems like the best form of government as it would guarantee only wise well thought out decisions are made and ethical reasonable laws are enforced.

@freemo
Well if you elaborate and explain your policies and aims a bit more, I might vote for you.

@soundwave Yes, my campaign is simple. I will put an end to ::gestures vaguely at everything::

Maybe we should have a bot-ocracy. Bots know way more about stuff (except they think that they can vote in a dictatorship.)

@freemo @soundwave

Your a bot? Well, I must admit, I had my suspicions.
