And I think that you severely underestimate the potential in the human race.See without the dark ages, organized pedophilia promoting and money laundering religions, and government maffia thugs, we`d be better of as a human race, if none of these would have happened, then by now we would live in an utopic society with flying cars, 100% ecologic enviroment, 500 years lifespan, no famine, no sickness,world peace etc.
BitcoinFreak I think you would gain some insight from studying the failures of Athenian democracy. Theirs was a decentralized government similar to the ideal you are proposing. Random groups of citizens directly voted on all laws. It had severe and significant problems.
Today's world is much more complex than the world of Athens time. It is significantly harder for the common man to understand all issues and vote intelligently. What you have proposed is essentially the Athenian style of democracy scaled up from 30,000 thousand to billions. The system was unstable at 30,000. I agree with contagion and bigtimespaghetti above. Such a system would lead to paralysis, and chaos.
