Doesn’t the Internet solve the representativity problem? Will we continue to need
a handful of “special” people to “represent” us? Shouldn’t we all already be political
actors in society having power, real power into the back pockets of our trousers?

Can’t we just disrupt the government already? Didn’t technology already shake the
establishment enough so that we witnessed its flawed design and profound limitations?

We don’t really require representation like we used to anymore. Every question can
be answered instantly. We need to hire people as a society who actually are paid
to execute on plans that we collectively agree upon.

We don’t really require years and years of so called “political stability”. The 
distributed financial systems promise to break us free from the whims-of-people 
disguised as “markets”, so political stability is a term forced upon society as 
a mere convention in the end.

Truth be told, programmers should _implement _laws. The whole corpus of laws should
be a working software. Parliaments would devise specifications for laws and they’d
get implemented as execution plans and algorithms. Probably the best use of TDD 
ever.

Can an machine learning devise better laws? I mean, given a situation, isn’t it 
predictable what laws we should devise based on our past set of existing laws?
