My point was about people in the US and most other countries never accepting the idea of one government no matter how decentralized or "democratic" it is. A huge government of any kind is a bad idea. No need to display the fact that you are a prick so boastfully.

Okay fine, then people in the US will be left behind. I'm okay that the lower-end of the intelligence spectrum won't be the earliest adopters of this kind of system. If anything this is a positive. Why is a "huge" government a bad idea? This government is pretty minimal tbh, there's a lot less human infrastructure involved.

Democracy has it's problems. Whether or not it's the best form of government in general, I don't know. But this is like taking all of democracy's problems and amplifying them one hundredfold. Direct democracy is the worst form of democracy and a bad idea in almost every case.

On an ultra small scale it might work where everyone's interests are aligned, like a farming community or something. But it really breaks down quickly on any meaningful scale.

There's only been a couple governments in history that have had real democracy, and the problems they experienced were discussed in detail in the threads this idea was started in a couple years ago on scienceforums. This proposed system directly fixes all the named problems that a pure democracy has ever had, as well as a bunch of solutions for future possible problems. You're concerns with wide-spread disagreement on how things are done is fixed by the layered-law system similar to America's current system where there is district>city>county>state>federal breakdowns in laws.

So people that disagree with you are from "the lower end of the intelligence spectrum?" What kind of elitist bullshit is that?
