Somewhere down the line, humanity's gonna need to create an omnibenevolent AI as our eternal ruler. I hope y'all realize that.

Democracy is the best system of governance humanity has invented to this point, but it's still inherently unstable, and over a long enough period of time, it gives way to fascism. And with sufficiently advanced technology, only a single fascism will be enough to end our story...

What makes you think that it would stay omni-benevolent after it gets it bearings and figures out how ugly human nature can be?? If humanity is even around long enough…

Because most people throw the word democracy around without really knowing what they are talking about. Did you cut and paste that definition or
was it in your own words?

Look up the true definitions of a democracy and a republic, i will expect a full written report on your research monday.

@Adrift Democracy - a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives

Republic - a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch

no fucking clue why chuds always get so caught up on this

You're assuming a state has to exist at all.

@basilfawlty89 None of the alternatives are particularly appealing. I'd rather not convert humanity into a hivemind or annihilate us altogether, even though that probably would work if we committed to it.
