The Windleverse

Recently I had the fine opportunity to participate in what this empire of a country calls democracy. I find it funny how the United States considers it’s self to have the strong hold on democracy on this planet yet uses one of the most antique and low rated system for colllecting and counting votes. I think one of the problems is the idea of anonymous voting. If you switch to an electronic system it becomes harder to secure that your vote is anonymous and not directly traceable to you.

In the windleverse everything is decided by votes. Elected officials for decision making are uncommon. Every citizen that lives on Mack is assigned a special user key that is linked to them via biometrics. Needless to say it’s near impossible to tamper with the voting system. Even after a user has voted they can continue to monitor their vote or change it up until the poll closes. Vote tampering is a serious offense which includes loss of citizenship status. Anyone can propose a new law, initiative or any other idea. If something turns out to be rotten it can simply be overturned by a new vote the next day. Voting in the windleverse takes place anywhere you are via your personal computer device.

I don’t think the people of the real world are ready for such control and responsibility over their own governance. On the other hand the system we are currently using is a few centuries out of date and does not reflect the resources we have available to us. It’s as if the “founding fathers” of this country were democracy programmers and after they died off no one continued to maintain and update the democracy software. Thus we are stuck continuing to use this V0.5 beta release of democracy when we should have developed version 2 by now.

Things that do not grown and evolve with society will die by it.
