We need to do some hard thinking about systemic fixes in a vacuum. We really don’t have a perfect answer to preventing eventual power disparities that eventually accelerate in a game theoretical sense, imho, and we probably want as best of an answer as possible to rally around and hopefully one day test. Patching what we have now is a more reachable option, but even that needs to be defined better as well, imo. I’m talking ranked voting, removing money influence, market collusion, market manipulation, oligopolies, no media monopolies, removing taxes havens while not incentivizing the chasing of loop holes; vs direct democracy or adjacently less-representative forms.
Don’t forget all wars are economic. Even with all of that technology, a reactionary gap exists where guerrillas can do damage.
But yes, it is scary and it will be hard.
Maybe once this is over we chill on weapons development? Idk.

I totally agree. I think we need big changes. The leader of our country implied we’d be doing stuff like that, but he’s a banker, so who really knows.
