How would a spacefaring civilization function if its political and legal system was 'everyone votes on everything by...

>The average person isn't aware or competent enough to make big political decisions.
And the average politician is?

No one is. That's why all governments are some form of clusterfuck or another. Democratic and Representative systems are objectively the best if largely because it makes it way harder for Supreme General Dipshit to round everyone up into death camps.

The logic behind a Representative government is the citizens elect a counselor to do the brainwork for them, and if they don't like the results they kick him out and put in a new one.

So now you need to consult the polity every time there's a police procedure? Do you have any idea how clumsy that makes any sort of police machinery going? Or anything else, since apparently your solution to non-clarity in the laws is to consult the same amateur body who made it in the first place to ask their opinion.

Sounds good to me.

After half the planets we live on or will live on have been named Niggerkikefaggot we'll get it out of our system.

>So now you need to consult the polity every time there's a police procedure? Do you have any idea how clumsy that makes any sort of police machinery going?
That’s why your AI tracks your preferences and you can set it to auto-vote for you. You only get alerted if the vote meets your preset definition of important. It’s not like a vote is any clunkier or slower than calling up a judge for a search warrant.

The guy that build the AI will pretty much rule the entire galaxy

So what stops someone from writing a bot which abuses the system and spams fake votes? With the intention of "legalizing" making fake votes for the system?

Governments need a Constitution or similar such document, and that document must be very rigid and difficult to change. The system suggested in the OP is so nebulous and so easily-abused this space power may as well have no government at all.

I don't want my property rights taken away because PussySmasher69 and KKK1488 thought it would be funny to fuck with the system.

The same way that any other democracy handles voter fraud. It’s tied to your ID or something

>It’s tied to your ID or something
Who would manage it?

Somebody would have to set the system up in the first place. Perhaps there’s an automated hub that processes everything and verifies votes. For the sake of the concept let’s just assume it’s secure enough to be untamperable.

But wouldn't this be racist to black people?

Fucking neat.

>There's a reason representative democracy is a thing.
Representative democracy is a thing because when modern democracy arose communication technology did not allow for constant votes due to the resource usage, and also because the leftover aristocracy still held considerable power and tried to keep it. Direct democracy might or might not work with current tech.

A spacefaring civilization will utilize its AI technology to let its citizens create AI lobbyists for themselves. These monitor politics on behalf of their client, notify them of important new developments, vote in every matter their client is eligible to vote in the way the client would want and ask if unsure.

I don’t know. The direct democracy Greek city-states had their own issues.

That said, what’s being proposed is essentially the Geth from Mass Effect.

All forms of democracy have serious issues, no matter the technology.

California has direct democracy. Did you know that? Our proposition system means any citizen can essentially propose legislation, though it only reaches the ballot if the person proposing it can drum up enough support.

We mostly use it to vote for more tax hikes.

YFW 50.000000000001% vote to abolish majority vote and opt for a dictatorship due to rapidly evolving laws

>YFW 50.000000000001% vote to abolish majority vote and opt for a dictatorship
Nice try Sheev, but that proposal wouldn’t pass under OP’s system. You need at least a 50.00000001% majority. 50.000000000001% majorities don’t cut it.

Okay hear me out OP, assuming you have the technology for FTL communication, you can go ham with this. Make it so that every single citizen has to vote on every single little thing that can be decided, 24/7.
How do you do this as well as letting your citizens have a life? You clone their consciousness and store it in a planet full of computers, this consciousness updates and syncs while the populace sleeps. Thus when something is deemed illegal, nobody can complain because these are literal clones that think and feel just the same as them.

>spacefaring civilization
>not realizing humans naturally thrive in decentralized networks instead of strict bureaucratic hierarchies

alternatively

>not genetically engineering themselves to thrive in strictly bureaucratic hierarchies

I AM THE 50.00000001%

It would almost immediately collapse, because the majority group would immediately change the rules to favor themselves and secure their power

>an activist proposes that all cloned consciousnesses be given full rights as independent sapient beings and that updating/overwriting them is tantamount to murder
>the cloned consciousnesses naturally vote in the affirmative

>an activist-
already knew everything would go to shit before even finishing reading that sentence.

>giving clones rights

>endless mandatory voting pop-ups on your smart phone
>people start clicking them at random because humanity
>the civilization becomes a mess

>make it official
Most of your elected representatives don't even know how legislation is written or how the judiciary upholds laws.
