virtual candidates
Humans can not be trusted with any form of concentration of power.
We will not be free until the true Leviathan emerges and cuts out all the intermediaries. This creature will emerge in a bottom up manner and tap into all of our minds. Just like any other natural phenomena, it will be spontaneous, neutral, imperfect and also pointless. This super intelligence will represent all of us, and be decentralised and therefore invulnerable.
In the future, virtual entities will be allowed to run for elections because we will realise how much of our governance issues are just abstract and textual. Our political needs are already quite complex. Humans have already proven themselves to be incapable of grasping dynamical complexities of capitalist economies and game theoretical difficulties of intra and international relations.
We no longer want simplistic, divisive political narratives. We no longer want human politicians interfering our communications and relations. We no longer want majoritarian systems in constant need of checks and balances.
As a friend of mine said once, a true governor should be unknown. Today I add one more condition to that: a true governor should be a virtual entity, an unknown unknown.
