- FooBarBizBazz 3y agoWe time-shift money all the time with finance, so the idea of time-shifting votes is interesting. Like, the whole millennial generation invests their whole lifetime of votes in one glorious year to fix the housing market. (Or, more likely, to achieve some stupid mimetic goal.) Mostly it's social-sci-fi, but it's not totally outside the realm of possibility. If we want to get truly absurd, we could problematize the nonexistence of unborn voters (no, this isn't an abortion thing, though you could take it in that direction), and apply a correction factor for different fertility rates. After all, if you're compensating for death at the population level, why not also compensate for disparities of births? "One person in some alternate universe, one vote here, that's what I say."
