That's the issue. I said this long before Brexit and Trump and those events have done nothing to change my opinion. Clearly something is wrong with the system if it produces results like these.

I nominate Comrade napoleon

Sounds good to me. He was great for France.

I agree with him. In no other field is everyone's voice equally weighted. Why should people with no knowledge or expertise in politics or ethics be able to make political decisions for a country?

Freedom is the freedom to be dumb

The freedom to self-govern is unnecessary and counterproductive.

Perhaps a utopian system where people are monitarily rewarded for good choices but no punishments for bad choices. So bad people are poor and good people are rich. Freedom to not succeed.

Not sure what you mean but that's not what I'm suggesting we do.

Ya I know I was just trying to think of a way to keep freedom while grooming the landscape in the universal income future

I think rewarding people based on behavior would likely be a mistake and impossible to enforce.
