The point I'm trying to make is that our society runs on a myriad of apps and databases, yet the operating environment in which these apps run is maintained by a bunch of people in suits, using a set of laws written in human language, elected by the majority vote, prone to corruption, emotions, insanity, etc... We will need an operating environment which can distribute the limited resources available on the planet in a sustainable way if we are to survive as a species. People can and want to govern themselves - most of our needs are local and can be solved locally without having to rely on a centralised entity to distribute money and decisions for us. We can replace politicians with discussion forums and instant votes, instant decisions. I see the role of 'government' as an institution which creates and runs campaigns for various 'global' societal issues, not as an institution which 'thinks' for everyone else. Anyway, I know this is extreme idealism and I'm probably wrong in many ways, but as I said, eventually this system will be developed, it would help if we start thinking about it, because we're kind of running out of time ... Thanks for the conversation.
