          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”.

      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
