Or a Democracy vs Epistocracy.
I realize how stupid I am in a lot of areas. And if I think I'm better than others, it's in my ability to realize my shortcomings.
If only people more knowledgable than me ruled (and there's obviously nothing stopping me from learning/becoming more involved), I'd be very happy, even if I knew too little to get a vote.
- sgift 10y agoThe problem with all variants of "only subgroup x should be able to vote" is the potential for abuse. Who writes the test? Who grades the test? Who defines the correct answers? And so on. As long as we don't have a solution for that all "only subgroup x may vote"-systems are not really feasible.
- croon 10y agoAbsolutely. But that's the problem with a republic too. And frankly anything that's not a direct democracy, of which there are none in the world.
