Our almost 80-year-old leaders in the house & in the Senate & in the presidency are not well equipped to make good choices in this area. I'm not convinced professional computer scientists are really well equipped but at least we have potential to understand the scenario. But instead it's going to be people that think global warming doesn't exist because they brought a snowball into the Senate that make choices.
- SoftTalker 4y agoStrongly agree, we need mandatory retirement at 65 for elected office.
- moshegramovsky 4y agoWhat are the benefits of this?
- lazyasciiart 4y agoDe facto term limits is a big benefit in itself, in my opinion. But also, we know that we haven’t solved the problems of aging, and old people as a class suffer from distinct cognitive problems. If it’s reasonable to ban people under 35, or under 21, from the presidency, it’s reasonable to ban people over 65 as well.
- moshegramovsky 4y agoThank you :)

- beefield 4y agoI have occasionally been toying with the idea that the number of votes you have would be dependent on your expected lifetime left. The longer hou have to live with your electee's decisions the more say you should have.
- lazyasciiart 4y agoA lot of problems with calculating that expected lifetime though: which variables can you include out of race, income, gender, job, recent purchase of a motorcycle, being diagnosed with cancer, etc?
- beefield 4y agoIn practice I think age buckets might be enough.
