We should require all elected officials pass a "basics of technology" test before they are allowed to comment or vote on policies that include these topics.
People who don't know anything about technology should not be allowed to make decisions enact policies on something they know nothing about.

- groundCode 13y agoPerhaps those in power simply need better (commercially disinterested, emotionally neutral) advisers for topics about which said politicians know nothing.
- panacea 13y agoSlippery slope. From there we might start requiring basic knowledge of politics and policies before people can vote! ;]
- omni 13y agohttps://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope The whole point of a republic is to elect informed representatives that can make decisions on important topics so that all X million people in the electorate don't have to. It's entirely reasonable to expect the people in charge to know what they're talking about.
