  You can. It's not a fixed state - where it is or isn't competent. It's complex, dynamic, with many moving parts - and it's evolving. You put a system in place and then you see how bad actors will take advantage of it, then you once you have enough of the population educated, understanding, pissed off - the impetus occurs - they will vote for change that adds policies (or undo bad policy most likely stemming from regulatory capture of industrial complexes) that will correct to prevent or limit potential harmful behaviour that will cascade from bad policy. In my last comment I highlight the main policies necessary for a big shift to be able to occur: "Until there's a strong enough impetus and they start to learn the game to understand it: I'd considered Andrew Yang a normal person, who published a book called The War On Normal People before running for President this last election. More people like him will come to light, especially once policy proposals he's made like Freedom Dividend/UBI, Ranked Choice Voting, Democracy Dollars, Journalism Dollars get implemented to break apart the two-party system." - from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25509841 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25509841
