Democracy 2.0

[shenanigans]

I’ve been contemplating into the nature of democracy and have had some insight into what makes for an optimal system of government.
 

Lots of changes must be made, but radical strategies for the entire organization of government are quite rare, here’s the thought process:

The best form of government is not monarchy as Plato says, but it’s rather a collection of the best of all worlds. Here’s my thought process essentially fused together the best from democracy, aristocracy and monarchy here’s some changes I’m thinking about in a practical sense. 

• Every position in government can be voted for by the people. No electoral college. Make it digital, make it informative and seamless.

• Legislative Assembly gains overarching control of law development with greater power to enforce law, and [easy] public inspections on president

• 10 year term on presidency with no presidential term limits 

• Executive department gains full unilateral control in the field of infrastructure development
• Vice president system replaced by approved presidential apprentices
• President is allowed to call in all captains of industry for mass assembly. Top 10 richest men in country, top agricultural production CEO’s, etc. must be at the president’s beck and call and given official governmental positions. 
• General structural power such that government is stronger generally than collective business
• The UN or equivalent organization may call upon a committee to be formed under suspected grounds of irreversible governmental corruption and societal capture. If found unanimously guilty, the committee is allowed to authorize a special tribunal on behalf of all government officials, agencies, and key institutions involved [Held Accountable in front of all nations, live]. Following the trial, further investigations will be conducted with Truth and Reconciliation Commissions given to all parties involved with an organized association. Any major key notable figures and philosophers may be brought in and accumulated assembly to discuss further steps [a general mass election] and if any major governmental changes must be made. 

So what do you think? did I cooked it?

@shenanigans what if the presidency were abolished? Why do we need to have a president? Why should we give one person so much power? Are there alternative governments that don't require such a position, and are there ways to structure governments that don't require one?

I like having a democratic council more than a president kinda like scotus where there is a chief councilmember voted on by the body, just a hunch i guess

First up. I must admit my ideas in the first post are kinda silly now that I’ve slept on them. This is why you don’t want liberals running government unilaterally without prior experience lol.
 

Now to answer on leadership and collective assemblies.

I feel like assemblies something more late game. If society reaches stage yellow and turquoise then that likely seems optimal—it’s what we archetypally intuit when we think of alien fantasy worlds—giant democratic republics etc. Although a giant alien republic sounds scary, almost doomed to fail. That’s always what happens. Do aliens have intergalactic law, or is it just chill on your own home planets and fly around to explore and intermingle in the galaxy. The home world could be like VRChat home world, and alien worlds could be like shared multi-alien-cultural experiences etc—All at stage turquoise or what’s beyond (Iridescent + omega beyond?). However on the way there leadership and visionary thinking is highly needed. How else are you going to build the systems that help raise everyone else’s consciousness to your level. A visionary needs to fight all the forces of society and keep the ship sailing in the right direction. When shit hits the storm you’re gonna be glad there’s a captain. But once the ships rested in a cozy bay, I suppose a true democratic council is pretty nice, or maybe everyone has a hive mind there tapped into that is able to calculate Inuit and decide for the collective good, cutting out the need for discussion entirely. Maybe it’s different in a universe of galactic war or something. If there’s a galactic war our planet is too podunk to really be a battle ground so we wouldn’t know it, but yet again why would aliens even be fighting in the first place? Space is pretty fucken big and birth rate tends to decrease with population size. Also why go to war when you can be chilling in space meditating your mind off collecting and making your own resources. If everyone want the good life just make a new alien every 1000 years or so. Birth is only required for survival purposes. Aliens themselves get to choose how many creatures they create. If there’s too many circulating in the universe they could simply slow down on production. Or Maybe the aliens need to get together and go to war to fight cathulu? That could be an award winning movie.
