Constitution, congress, senate, old and senile Anglo-Saxon-looking politicians calling all day to lobbyists to get money for campaigns, movers-and-shakers, crooks, super-rich families and lodges. Social media, and mass media with their own agenda, would be politically incorrect stand-up shows. Endless feuds with power structures blocking each other to the detriment of citizens.
Gerrymandering, voter suppression, electoral college system, prosecution of both candidates, nothing-telling highly paid lectures for retired politicians as satisfaction for their private services… Stop! We all know this.
So since I rather deny than propose, what should a real modern democracy and public affairs look like?
Approaching everything with no emotions, only plain campaign texts without any audio, or video should exist, without any super-costly scientific-like marketing, all parties should be included in everything important. Basically no background eminences, mainstream and underground media uncovering background structures (since patron-client style cannot be fully eradicated) and informing in data, statistics, graphs and so on. No evolutionary-adjusted African savanna-like prehistory story-telling the nowadays media are feeding us.
Politics should be taught starting in elementary school and ending in death. Am I joking? No, because the environment is ever-changing. How to get rid of background structures, how to make all parties collaborate (even with polarizing opinions), and how to teach politicians a lesson when they have scandals. People are struggling with this on an everyday basis.
A legislative assembly? Only super-moral, highly intelligent people with analytical skills and great talent for politics would be allowed. We cannot eradicate politics as a craft (if I exclude some genetical engineering).
Take a look at the average member of the assembly: only the 98th percentile on the common morality Gaussian curve. Intelligence – IQ 145+ (99.8650032777% or 1 in 741), political skills on the 98th percentile. So such a member is pretty rare in the common population. He or she is highly educated on how politics looks in the background, theory and practice.
And now the government? Political skills – 99th percentile, managerial skills 99.96th percentile and morally 98th percentile.
Can you imagine the outcome? Super-rich, equal country where everything is transparent and people don’t need a Supreme Court, or constitution because everything relies on citizens.
Sentient voters without politicians promising impossible, decent political debate and excellent political culture making it an example for other countries.
