This is purely hypothetical theory here.

This is in no way backed up by any study that I have seen. Even so, the people who I have told it too think it sounds like a plausible concept.

As we all know, all ruling forms are flawed. There, I said it. The way I see it, the only truly logical system of government is one in which all citizens take part in full time. But this has numerous flaws, such as lack of efficiency, lack of any sort of production or work, and people being douchebags.

My system calls for a digital copy of every human mind to be made (at the time of building, and when the mind has matured to a competent and mature level), and these copies loaded into a supercomputer. This single entity then makes all human decisions for us.

I know what you are thinking - robot uprising. But think about it - its not a robot, its us - all of us. Every single human being has a direct and equal say in global politics. Because they are in digital format, decisions can be made next to instantly. And since the humans are still alive, and not affected in any way (its just a copy uploaded, the original shouldn't be harmed), we can continue to work and produce.

Now, there are a number of problems that I have seen with this method

1. Deletion of copies in the event of the originals death.
On the one hand, this should be straight foward - I mean, we can't have a mind in politics without a physical manifestation to represent and argue for, it would turn inhuman. On the other, the sort of morality that would enter into ending a human consciouness is murky to say the least.

2. Minds spinning out of co-ordination with their bodies.
Imagine you upload your mind at 18. You're young and carefree, because now you have your say in the matters of the world. Great. But if we advance, say 15 years, that 18 year old may be an entirely new person, with a new set of values, ideals and understandings. Thing is, their representative is still 18, and voting for the 18 year old version of itself.

Anyone have any comments or ideas?

No name calling please.

I'd be worried about people finding a way to somehow breech the supercomputer and have ultimate control over all the world's government/economy.

Hmm, could we call this supercomputer system The Patriots?

Also, you're an idiot.

Also, cocks.

Carp, I accidentally put this in the wrong section. Please Lock.
