But I like how my vote counts as much as the votes of Bill Gates and the Walmart Greeter.
Your system wouldn't work for entire classes of people: coal miners, welders, fishermen, and yes, software engineers, to name a few.
Not everyone can work in a job that provides "real societal improvements", whatever that means. And not everyone wants to.
Yes, the rich get a disproportionate amount of say, but that's because they can just afford to spend money on advertising and lobbying.
Their vote isn't actually worth more than mine or yours. No one's is, and that's great, in my opinion.
- andy_ppp 10y agoYou can vote and contribute as much or as little as you like to the functioning of society. That would be the point - but it is a fun experiment to think about the world in a different way. I'm pretty certain we shouldn't give people who are rich such excessive influence. Probably what would really happen is the exact opposite of what I want the system to do and everyone would vote for fascism for a laugh.
