Can we Fix Our Democracy?

We need to all get supereducated

• Real [[ Democracy ]] emerged following cultural enlightenment with few things in common
  • Athenian democracy
    • Stoicism - emotional regulation (argue without emotions getting involved), have the courage to disagree
    • socratic method - take each other’s perspective
    • [[ Aristotle ]] - Logic, rhetoric and History
• Idea of [[ Memetic immune system ]] (emotionally as well) as an antidote to Memetic Virus spread through [[ social media ]]

Any Alternatives?

• Idea of enlightened AGI Global Monarch
  • Monarchy (and dictatorships) is better at long term planning because
    • there are no incentives to do short term wins for re-elections
    • Concern for sons of king → more concern for future
